Rare DragonOfTheSeas Posted November 27, 2012 #7 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I have a small LED light that I got at a dollar store. It has a hook on the end like a coat hanger. It is very bright. We keep this in the bathroom at night. I hang it off a shelf. Then when one of us gets up in the night we do not wake the other turning on the light. [since the switch is on the outside of the door it lights up the room before you can enter and close the door.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booking It Posted November 27, 2012 #10 Share Posted November 27, 2012 1. Highlighters in different colors (one for each person traveling). I love to highlight things in the Compass. 2. Post-it notes... For leaving quick notes or bookmarks 3. Woolite... I always need to wash something mid trip, and I'm not paying $10 for them to launder a $15 bathing suit. 4. Extra hangers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Hudson Posted November 28, 2012 #12 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I don't want to forget anything important :) I have started bringing a nightlight (wallflower) from Bath and Body Works. The room then is not totally dark at night and it smells good! I also bring a multi-pronged outlet plug. We have so much that we charge these days (Kindle, Ipad, phones) that this comes in handy.

Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted November 28, 2012 #13 Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) Corkscrew if you're bringing your own wine!Tape, we hang door signs and use it randomly for stuff Scissors - small tiny pair - usually we need them for something Hubby always used to bring his favorite scissors, but they were confiscated by security at one of Royal's ships at the pre check-in. We were amazed because if we had sought to do harm or make mischief with sharp objects, we could easily have gone to the Windjammer for a knife. Anyway, we had to do without. That was a couple of years ago. I don't know if Royal Caribbean still follows this strict no-scissors policy.

Kellie Poodle Posted November 28, 2012 #15 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Duct tape in case anything, like luggage, breaks. You may never need it, but if you don't bring it, you probably will. Over-the-door shoe holder for inside the bathroom door to hold toiletries, hair brushes, etc. Tiny speaker for iPod or MP3 player (under $20 at Walgreens) so we can listen to music on the balcony while relaxing with a glass of wine and a room service cheese plate. Some first aid items including medicines for upset tummies. Some folks are not used to the rich food. A camera (or two) and extra memory cards. And, most important, a good attitude. People who come aboard with pre- conceived notions of what they expect their cruise to be can be disappointed. Just come aboard with the idea that you will have a wonderful time.

phaeton Posted November 28, 2012 #24 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Is the Starbucks Via better then the ships coffee. I was at costco today and almost purchased it there thinking it would be easy to get hot water in the Windjammer or for that matter the MDR. Would this give me a good cup of coffee.

I think it is better than the instant coffee in the stateroom on our last cruise - and some days I need my caffeine before I am ready to run to the Windjammer or MDR for a cup. I also take my travel mug so once I'm out and about I can fill up and enjoy hot coffee at the pool while reading my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
