Rare Keith1010 Posted August 11, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 11, 2017 All ships that we have sailed on are happy to take the books. Very nice to do that. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmoo here Posted August 11, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I like to take books on cruises .If I bring books and do not want to take them hime can I give them to the ship's library ?o Usually, if the ship has a library, there's an "exchange shelf" where you can leave it. Not all ships have libraries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vampire Parrot Posted August 11, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 11, 2017 You definitely can leave books in the library, there is almost always a pax swap area. I've picked up some brilliant books & given quite a few that disappeared very quickly. But if it's something slightly unusual but extremely good... e.g. Night Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko (truly superb, very Russian, very dark), you might want to talk to your cabin steward and ask if there are any crew who (e.g. in this case) like Harry Potter books but want to try something a bit darker... and then pass them off to her/him.

Cruisercl Posted August 11, 2017 #8 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I leave books all of the time; I appreciate it when others do too. It makes for a better selection. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookish Angel Posted August 12, 2017 #9 Share Posted August 12, 2017 You can also Look for Little Free Libraries in your ports. They have a map feature to make finding them easy. littlefreelibrary.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShipsDoc46 Posted August 12, 2017 #10 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Seen the shelf with books left by previous cruisers in the libraries . As we take Kindles, like so many these days we do not have the books to leave which we would do being the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bevv Posted August 13, 2017 #11 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I take a combo of paperbacks - that if I finish I leave in the Library - and Kindle. The paperbacks I read at the pool, in the hot tub or at the beach. That way if I get splashed I do not risk ruining my Kindle. Also a paperback is less likely to "walk off" than a Kindle at the beach when I go in the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renjrusa Posted August 13, 2017 #12 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I prefer a paperback as I spend too much time already on electronic devices.. Our next two cruises are on Adventure of the Seas and will leave a few paperbacks. Almost always finish at least two while cruising for 7 days , love to read and no tv other than NFL...

OCruisers Posted August 13, 2017 #13 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I leave books all of the time; I appreciate it when others do too. It makes for a better selection. :) On Princess ships I sometimes sail with a "cruise pal" who loves the book swap area. One on the first things she does when she gets on the ship is to go so she can get the best selection of what was left from the previous cruise. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zqvol Posted August 13, 2017 #14 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I always leave any paper back books, or hard backs for that matter, that I don't want on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknoge3k Posted August 14, 2017 #15 Share Posted August 14, 2017 If you're sailing to Grand Turk, leave your books in Grand Turk. Their library burned down earlier this year and they lost everything. They're asking cruise passengers to bring books to them if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
