Nightstarzz Posted December 11, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) In January, I'm taking my fiance for his first cruise ever. Everything is done, and except to hurry up and wait. Now, while his Christmas gifts are what he asked for, I wanted to do his Christmas stocking, cruise themed. Any suggestions? We are going to grand Cayman, Cozumel, Costa Maya, and Honduras. The only thing I have at the moment is a small Tortuga rum cake, the kind they sell onboard. Anyother items I could stuff in his stocking? 3rd cruise: Carnival Legend, January 26th - February 2nd, 2014 Edited December 11, 2013 by Nightstarzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzloolue Posted December 11, 2013 #2 Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) Sun screen? Sun glasses? Margarita glasses? Flip flops? Edited December 11, 2013 by mzloolue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheerjulez Posted December 11, 2013 #4 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I am doing something similar for my sister. I am including: walkie talkies, hand sanitizer, motion sickness pills, a power strip, over the door shoe hanger (for organizing,) a poncho, clothes line clips (to hang wet bathing suits to dry faster,) sun block, a wine bottle opener.... And that's as far as I have gotten. I am doing a "cruising tips" theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandBound79 Posted December 11, 2013 #5 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I want to add cruise themed stocking stuffers for our 13 and 15 year olds. I was thinking about flip flops, disposable underwater cameras, and iTunes gift cards for some tropical music.... Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelle1836 Posted December 11, 2013 #6 Share Posted December 11, 2013 definitely a bunch of sun screen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprite.4 Posted December 11, 2013 #8 Share Posted December 11, 2013 A nice lanyard for his Sign & Sail card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CruisinCrow Posted December 11, 2013 #9 Share Posted December 11, 2013 My parents are going on a cruise in February so I ordered them a couple of clear luggage tag holders for stocking stuffers. They are so much nicer than stapling the paper luggage tags to the suitcases! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysticks1 Posted December 11, 2013 #10 Share Posted December 11, 2013 If you go on eBay you can do a search for Carnival Cruise and come up with a lot of things you could buy. I bought two of the Platinum Gift Tervis Tumblers recently with the Carnival Logo in them. There are some of those on there now as well as the ball caps, lanyards and I even saw a ship on a stick.

USNUZULOOSE Posted December 11, 2013 #12 Share Posted December 11, 2013 How about a key chain with a ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backnine05 Posted December 11, 2013 #13 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Try searching for a waterproof wallet. Very handy when getting off the ship and going to a beach. Amazon has an excellent selection and they are reasonably priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatloafsfan Posted December 11, 2013 #14 Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) Our stocking are filled with cheap stuff (in my family, there's no way walkie-talkies would qualify as a stocking stuffer). For me, I'd include: Hand sanitizer Individual packages of kleenex (the stuff on board is terrible and these are handy to take on excursions) one of the towels/facecloths that are shrunk down to a small square (you see them at the dollar store with spiderman, dora, etc on them) that he can take on excursions as a just in case Gum water wallet Cheap travel cup/mug that he can use and then leave/dispose of after the cruise (especially if you like coffee in the cabin - I hate those little cups!) A good book (I pick these up at Goodwill for cheap) a single use laundry detergent and a travel size of fabric softener sheets (in case they need to do laundry on the ship) A tide to go pen (for those little messes) a lanyard for his sign and sail card travel sized tylenol/advil/other OTC medications or a small first aid kit with bandaids and stuff a memory card for his camera (I'm amazed at how much these have come down in price in the last 2 years!)

So convenient not to have to mess with shave cream and easier to pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandBound79 Posted December 12, 2013 #17 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I love the neck pillow idea!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachbum53 Posted December 12, 2013 #18 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Maybe some beach or tropical themed luggage tags? I've seen them at some of the dollar stores here. Palm tree, flip-flop(s), parrot, Hawaiian shirt, etc. You also might look on Amazon. Also, at Bath & Bodyworks, they have scented bodywash for men called "Ocean". My wife bought some for me. When I use it, it makes me think of cruising. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
