He'll like it as much as you - just sayin'! :p

 

LOL!!!!! Now I'm googling!! LOL!!!!!

 

It was also on the TV show The Doctors, so you could probably find some information on their website.

Our own supply of low fat salad dressing.

This is a great idea. I usually skip the salad because I can't bear to use the high fat dressings. Why I never thought to bring my own?? What a "duh" moment!

My DH said he won't be laughing after you purchase it. ;)

Thats why you send it in your checked luggage :)

 

Just remember to take out the batteries! I worked for a commercial airline for 10 years and I can't tell you how many times we had to page a customer to come watch us search their "vibrating bag". Obviously, with terrorist threats lurking, vibrating bags are a concern. Usually, it's an electric shaver or toothbrush....but on quite a few occasions it turned out to be a B.O.B. And the expression on the customer's face once we find the vibrating culprit is always priceless! :D

We bring a noise maker. We sleep with a fan on at home and a fan is just too big to pack so we take our little portable noise maker. It has been on many vacations and has held up well. So since we mostly stick with interior cabins we can pick the ocean and we can feel like we are sleeping with our balcony door open, LOL!!! Cheesy I know!!! :D

[Blondie008]

Its not the item I take thats odd, its the quantity:rolleyes:

I take THREE hairdryers - One for UK overnight, then I need my US voltage dryer, and also I take a travel dryer (just in case of failure of either:eek:)..

[Haoie]

Read through this and didn't see anyone mention a kettle - Seems to be popular for the tea snobs.

 

Man, if you're packing that, you're really packing heat.

[lindan1020]

LOL!!!!! Now I'm googling!! LOL!!!!!

 

LOL!!! We need to combine this thread with the one about sex on the balcony!

[JennLuvs2Cruise]

Haven't sailed with anything too strange or out of the ordinary.. I guess I would be lost without my large thermal mug & ipad for reading.

[5waldos]

The strangest thing I have brought is my ex. We broke up and both still wanted to go on the cruise so we shared the cabin. A little awkward but still had fun.

 

 

And the winner is!

Have you ever considered an adapter for UK or US voltage? It packs lighter than a whole hair dryer!

I'm pretty sure these have been banned-at least that is what I read here on cruise critic!

[Blu Lenda]

Always bring binoculars and a bag of trail mix for snacks! Can't leave home without it.

[aobrien16]

This has been a great thread!!! Thanks for all the great posts and great ideas! A must for me is gum and ear plugs!!

[Rosefloater]

If the ship doesn't have an ice cream bar (like on the Spirit class), I will bring a bottle of chocolate syrup and nuts to make my own sundaes. Also bring on some root beer to make floats.

 

Also never travel without a flashlight. Sis even has a keychain light on her lanyard.

[RhondatheCruiser]

b.o.b ??

Wondering how many caught this reference....I'm cracking up!!

[oldrailfan]

If my wife were to get a B.O.B., I'd have to tell her to buzz off... :D

(Sorry, couldn't help myself - been a punster for far too long to stop now)

 

ADDED: On a serious note, I've added several good ideas to my cruise list from this thread...

 

...and Rosefloater mentioned a flashlight. I worked in a shipyard for many years, I wouldn't go aboard without a flashlight, power failures were common and the inside of an unlighted ship is PITCH BLACK! Think anything is different on a "finished" ship? Ask the folks that were on Splendor recently... My wife, kids and grandkids call me "Inspector Gadget" Because of all the stuff I have on my belt or in a pocket somewhere.
