Someone mentioned putting things on the lamp in the room.  The bulb generated heat.  Wouldn't that be a fire hazard?

Yes, I remember reading of a fire on a ship that was started in just that way.

There are people who travel without luggage.They buy clothes and accessories at the first port and by the end of the cruise they throw out everything they buy.

Mother taught me the roll in the towel.  Lay them out correctly, fold the sides, top and bottom in/over and roll.  She didn't teach me the stand on 🙂  But I'll be doing that.  Thanks.

 

If it can be wrinkled (socks, underwear) I twist it once rolled.

 

Otherwise, just roll in towel, leave 5 - 10 minutes, then hang to dry.

I'm glad you asked this question. I was thinking of doing this for my 9 night cruise in September. Is there a type of detergent or soap you use when hand washing? (I don't ever hand wash at home). Also, any tricks on how not to let the clothes become really wrinkled? (I sort of imagine wringing them out and see a lot of wrinkles).

 

I use Woolite.  I have a smaller bottle that I carry and refill as needed.  If not, I use the hotel shampoo.

 

I don't wash things that could not be worn wrinkled.  If I need shirts washed, I pay to have them done.
