Lily429 Posted March 11, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 11, 2012 every time we're in the Bahamas we go to eat under the bridge (fresh local food) we always get the cracked conch, conch salad, conch fritters.....and we love Crystal's sauce, but no one ever has any. This time we are trying Arawak Cay for a late lunch and we are bringing the Crystal's! Question, is there something 'strange' you bring on board? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this something I should be looking for stateside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StingRaysfan Posted March 11, 2012 #3 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Crystals is hot sauce.... it's good but I love Texas Pete... On the last cruise I brought Christmas lights, Christmas window clingy's and a Merry Christmas floor rug... thats probably the strangest stuff I've ever brought. Not to weird but not average either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texarribean Chick Posted March 11, 2012 #4 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I would not necessarily call it strange; but unusual. DH and I love to play cards on deck. I purchased and always bring a magnetic playing board and magnetic cards. Even with the wind - the cards do not move. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahleebones Posted March 11, 2012 #5 Share Posted March 11, 2012 OMG! Magnetic cards???? What a FANTASTIC idea! Where can you get those? I'm going to check amazon right now! I'm also going to look for Crystal's and Texas Pete when I'm in Florida this week. Would love to try. I'm a sucker for hot sauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laumicmah Posted March 11, 2012 #6 Share Posted March 11, 2012 My DH's and twin DDs' gloves and a couple softballs...never used them and they took up a lot of space, so probably won't bring them again. I also bring a sound machine to drown out any noise and it also has an alarm clock that comes in handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celandine Posted March 11, 2012 #8 Share Posted March 11, 2012 on my last cruise (South China Sea Explorer) I was living in China at the time, and did not have a clothes dryer. I brought some extra clothes with me (mostly pyjamas and my favourite towel) just so I could wash it and get it all fluffy dry in a dryer....

dave05218 Posted March 11, 2012 #9 Share Posted March 11, 2012 How do you shuffle magnetic playing cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texarribean Chick Posted March 11, 2012 #10 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I got the magnetic playing cards on line from Toys R Us. The cards are magnetic; but not heavy - you shuffle them like any other cards. One warning tho - since they are magnetic, if they get a little wet from mist or rain, they do rust. Have Fun!

bzpilot Posted March 11, 2012 #13 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Just last week I brought on 200 jello shot syringes (they hold over twice the amount of a normal jello shot). Not to mention the 12 huge packs of jello - a mixture of Strawberry Daiquiri, Appletini and Lemon Drop. Made for some great cabin and deck parties!

swedish weave Posted March 11, 2012 #14 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I bought a deep sea rod and reel in the pawn shop in Cabo a few years ago. Got strange looks when I took it on to the ship, but the funniest was when I carried it off. The immigration officer smiled and said " Well -- now I've seen it all".

Ok, I used to be the jello shot queen when I was a bartender but it's been awhile, so how does one go about mixing and filling 200 syringes in a cabin? I can imagine you made alot of friends passing those around.....great idea!!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHP Posted March 11, 2012 #19 Share Posted March 11, 2012 6 large cans of Spagetti O's and 6 large cans of Ravioli.... for a friend who lives in Cozumel and could not get these at the time.... I carried them on and the Security Guard gave me the strangest look... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kel040 Posted March 11, 2012 #20 Share Posted March 11, 2012 On our last cruise, just for fun we brought some un-used Tim Horton's take out coffee cups and lids -we made coffee on lido deck and then carried them around on ship. We thought the cups would draw out our fellow Canadians, but it didn't... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccruisequeen Posted March 11, 2012 #22 Share Posted March 11, 2012 My iPod player/clock radio. I was cruising alone, so I decided that I could listen to it, with the sleep timer easier than my earphones. I just plugged it in to the desk next to the bed!
