What will you take with you next cruise?

[Vict0riann]

Our next cruise is 28 days (with a 42-day one after that), and I swear I will take my electric toothbrush. I really miss it when I don't have it. DH can carry it for me! (He takes all the "electronics" in his hand-carry bag.)

[Krazy Kruizers]

I always take my DH with me.

LOL - I meant something new!:D (and I'd need him to carry the electric toothbrush.)

[mamaofami]

I always take DH with me, but KK beat me to it.I do take my electric toothbrush.It keeps a charge for at least 2 weeks.

[Krazy Kruizers]

We have over 120 cruises on various cruise lines that there isn't anything new or different that we would take on a cruise.

[Lovely other]

I will take a formal wear outfit ...last cruise I took didn't do formal

[Cruising-along]

We always bring our electric toothbrushes too. :D

On my next cruise I will be bringing something different --- my best friend for her first cruise!

[alwaysfrantic]

Sudafed & cough medicine. Was covered for blisters, stomach trouble, cuts, and allergies. Forgot what we actually ended up needing.

[Randyk47]

New? Hmmm....with all of our business and personal travel over the years we pretty much have a standard packing routine and list of things we pack. The one thing different is that for the first time in 20 years we may not take true formal wear (i.e., tux and gowns) as there is only one formal optional night out of a 12-day cruise. We're thinking a dark suit for me and nice outfits for Mrs. K. Not exactly new but different.

I want to leave mine home one of these cruises. :eek: I listen to enough complaints at home.

[AlohaPride]

New? My kids ;) Epi-pens. Winter clothing.

Small magnets with glow-in-the dark butterflies that I use to organize papers for tours in port and invitations to various functions. There always seems to be at least one wall that has metal that the magnets will stick to.

Good idea! DH wants to take some silly putty stuff to stick up invitations, etc., but magnets might be cleaner!

I am bringing a battery-powered light that is motion activated. I'll put it in the bathroom for late night visits. That way I don't have to turn on the bathroom light waking my roommate before I can close the door. (It is small and easy to pack.)

[jagsfan]

A very mild fragrance room deodorizer. Every time I cruise with DH I wish I'd brought one. It would be funny if he brings one, too!

That's a good idea, too. I wanted to take a night light last cruise but one (in an inside), but I didn't think it would work in the "shavers only" socket in the bathroom. Batteries would be good. I'll ask for one for my birthday!

[Taz]

A battery operated travel alarm, a couple of clothespins to keep my curtains closed, a travel corkscrew, duct tape and perhaps a new cocktail dress if the alterations can be done in time.

We're on the Maasdam for 2 weeks at the beginning of December so . . .

 

1. Various Wilson zinfandels, Ramey chards and assorted sauvignon blancs for dinners.

 

2. Some snorkel stuff for Bonaire.

 

3. A few new iPod playlists for the balcony.

 

4. Some really good Bordeaux blends for that balcony.

 

5. A healthy appetite for fun!

[smokinmike]

. . . and a new white dinner jacket for formal nights!

 

. . . shawl collar, of course.

[iancal]

DW and as little else as I can. Very few electronics and enough clothing for about 5 days max. DW takes a little more, but not much.

 

And some wine of course...four bottles for a seven day cruise. Malbecs and Cabs for those afternoons on the verandah.

[napunani]

Battery operated tea lights. Great as a night light wherever needed.

Highlighter to mark the daily schedule.

Suction-cup hooks to hang robes, hats, etc.

Same here...those days are coming to a close...so we may as well enjoy it.

We have two cruises booked...a Collector's Cruise on the NA from Barcelona in October...and a Caribbean journey on the Maasdam once again end of January...embarking 4 days before the cut off date!

So we may as well make hay while the sun shines. ;)

[lovely_serenity]

Big Ziploc bags, a couple garbage bags to store dirty clothing, a power bar and my iPad ^^

[PirateShark]

Waterproof case for my camera. What I'm NOT taking for the first time ever on a cruise - formal wear. As for DH, well we are a package deal of course :)

[PathfinderEss]

I'm thinking about bringing a small fan, just incase the cabin does not get cold enough for me.:eek:
