shellbell9567 Posted April 9, 2010 #1 Share Posted April 9, 2010 A couple weeks ago I saw a thread that was about random things that people bring on board for the cruise. I.E. post-its, binoculars, etc.... So--what do you bring that is special? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janina Posted April 9, 2010 #6 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Largin scores big points for that one!!!!!!!! I like to bring my own large coffee cup, so I can fill up and go out on the decks. Also a highlighter for my Princess Patter, hate to miss things.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We're The Groupnors Posted April 9, 2010 #7 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Number 1 special item: disinfecting wipes to wipe down all hard surfaces in the cabin, including all handles, telephone, light switches, tv remote, desk top, balcony chair arms, etc. They are also very handy on the flight to wipe down the tray table and window. A friend is a flight attendant, and says they are rarely, if ever cleaned. Next most important special items: vermouth mister, jar of olives, toothpicks, and a stainless steel coffee travel mug (which, you guessed it, doubles as a cocktail shaker!).

nabby Posted April 9, 2010 #10 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I always bring one of those carry bags that fold up very small. I throw it into my luggage when I leave. Going home, I use it as my carry-on and check my other (heavier) luggage. I always buy stuff so I need extra to carry it home! Other things: luggage scale, a small adapter that turns one electrical outlet into 3 outlets, laundry detergent and quarters (if I am on a longer cruise), extra flashlight, leatherman tool (in checked luggage), a flash drive with scans of my passport, charge cards (front only), and other travel papers, and files containing all emergency numbers (just in case!)

Working 2 Cruise Posted April 9, 2010 #14 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I am bringing a bungee cord to keep my balcony door open at night, to have the nice, fresh ocean air circulating throughout the cabin... Can't wait! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cindep Posted April 9, 2010 #16 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Lysol spray -- multitude of uses the most important being air freshening of the bathroom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvTheGoodLife Posted April 9, 2010 #17 Share Posted April 9, 2010 For funinla, no bungee cord needed for balcony doors on Princess. The balcony doors are sliders - if you want to keep them open, engage the handle lock when open. Just as a side note, keeping your balcony door open for long periods in hot or humid climate, makes the A/C in that area of the ship run a lot harder/be less efficient....

luvs2travl Posted April 9, 2010 #21 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I am bringing a bungee cord to keep my balcony door open at night, to have the nice, fresh ocean air circulating throughout the cabin... Can't wait! :D Watch leaving that balcony door open at night. It can affect the A/C efficiency for all the cabins in your area, and might even cause it to shut down. It isn't the same as leaving your window open at home. The other pax might be a tad upset if that happens. ;) The balcony doors on Princess ships are sliders anyway - you may want to leave it open just a crack, but I wouldn't suggest you leave it wide open for any length of time. We were made aware of this on our first cruise, so just trying to pass along the info to you to avoid any problems...! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjs9876 Posted April 9, 2010 #22 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Take magnets with clips. You will get a ton of paper, ads, sales, daily activities. Magnets stick to the cabin walls and let you see things at a glance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knittinggirl Posted April 9, 2010 #23 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Duct tape. Not too special, but it can be handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palmist Posted April 9, 2010 #24 Share Posted April 9, 2010 We bring a 10 hole hanging shoe rack and hang it off the bathroom door. It holds all our bathroom stuff plus other little things like sewing kit, first aid kit, etc. It is very handy. Myrna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VOLEYMOM Posted April 10, 2010 #25 Share Posted April 10, 2010 A pop up laundry hamper, small and very handy. My new favorite thing, a mesh storage unit I found at Wallmart, it hangs in the shower and I can put my razor, shampoo etc. I love that thing especially in the small showers! Oh, almost forgot about the hooks that hang by suction on the walls, I put my beach bag, camera, or whatever else I can think of on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
