Thinks that you bring on a cruise

[Harooni]

what is the bungee cord for?

 

Post it notes were great when we went with our kids. always knew where they were and they knew where we were.

well if you want to get from deck 11 to deck 2 , it will take too long to wait for the elevators. then this cord comes in handy.

[mcatmcat]

Never have I needed or taken Duct Tape, Post it Notes, Lanyards, Zip ties, Highlighter, Power Strip, Clothes Pins or Bungee Cord. I do bring a little Emergency Medical Kit and we have used it!

 

 

Duct tape to wrap it to my disembarking luggage tag. I always see a couple of them in the floor and luggages without them at the terminal

[beachbum53]

You'll need several of these (maybe 100?) for seat saving. They can be used for theater seats or lounge chairs by the pool:

Good choice....in my case my DH.

 

The typical packed items for a vacation, I will leave to others to list.

 

In addition to them, we bring:

(1) shower sponges -- we hate wash cloths; we throw them out before we come home....simple inexpensive purchase at local dollar store

(2) baby wipes -- the toilet paper on cruise ships is terrible.

(3) clothes pins -- for clipping bathing to the clothes line in the shower or to keep them attached to the chairs on our balcony so they don't fall off chair while drying.

(4) binoculars -- to take on excursions

(5) flashlight -- just in case we might need it.

 

Wonder if this is a "no-no."

I thought the same thing. I don't think you are supposed to flush those down the Toilets.

isn't that what causes the rooms downstream from you to have plumbing problems. Maybe the poster meant they were used and PLACED IN THE TRASH like they are supposed to be.

 

The hospitals here were getting in big problems with the city for all those flushable wipes - they are clogging up entire city lines. So I don't think they are really all that flushable unless you like paying the plumber!

Nothing but a smile... and whatever DW tells me to pack...

Yes, they are a big no, no, even tp that is not provided by the ship.

To add:

 

 

Anti Diarrhea powder.

 

Ginger tea and proper English tea

 

String (To make a clothes line for drying)

 

Condoms

 

Sugar gel/tablets (mostly for T1 husband but also for recharging in the heat)

This is definitely a MUST. Often, people who don't have patience on land or a sense of humor at home.....don't have it to bring with them.

 

I often wonder, if there was a way for these two commodities to be purchased, it would make a FORTUNE for its shareholders.

We bring a write/erase board for our closet door. We go through the newsletter every night and see what we want to do the next morning. Then we write it on the board. We use to bring our FunTimes with us but always seem to lose it. Here's a pic of one
