dorchrislen Posted February 18, 2018 #226 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Sarna (best itch relief and sunburn lotion all in one bottle) Gin Gins (pure ginger root lozenges - great for motion sickness, bloating, upset tummy, gas) French vanilla creamer is a must! Where did you buy the Sarna and Gin Gin’s? I’ve never heard of them. And the French vanilla, is it powder packets or do you take the whole container?

justusfour2014 Posted February 18, 2018 #227 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Where did you buy the Sarna and Gin Gin’s? I’ve never heard of them. And the French vanilla, is it powder packets or do you take the whole container? Sarna can be bought at Walmart, Target, Walgreens. It's a white bottle, blue lettering with a pump usually $10 or so. Gin Gins is made by The Ginger People and I buy them from Rainbow Blossom. Yellow package with red'ish ends. Says it's candy but can't imagine anyone eating it for that purpose as it's spicy. The creamer is in a small squeeze bottle and you don't have to put in the frig. I get by the powder creamer. It's like the little squeeze bottles of Splenda or Stevia.

DANCING GRANDMOMMY Posted February 24, 2018 #231 Share Posted February 24, 2018 These are tablets that melt into hot or cold drinks. About, the size of a tic tac. Little tin fits nicely in an evening bag or pocket. Also comes,in almond amarreto and hazelnut. Hope the pic came thru.

comiso13 Posted February 24, 2018 #234 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I clip them on the bottom of the shower curtain to weigh it down. It’s simple and works so well! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Binder clips work well too, but magnetic clips have other uses so I think I'll bring them this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The4Cruisers Posted February 24, 2018 #235 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Thanks for "explaining" about needing a card for the light switch. I have never been on any ship where this was done. All we did was hit the switch to either turn on/off the light. Guess ???? I'll soon find out about the card deal. Sounds like a pain to me, as we always turn the lights out when we leave the room. I usually bring a couple of hotel room key cards to use for the lights and the safe. The card for the lights does NOT have to be magnetic. In fact, it does NOT have to be a card! Some people use pieces of the Fun Times folded and shaped like a card to fit into the slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The4Cruisers Posted February 24, 2018 #236 Share Posted February 24, 2018 With 7 days until our cruise it's definitely too late. :cool: Don't lose sleep over this. You do not need to have a passport to get home in an emergency. The passport does make it easier, but you can get home without one. I'm the only one in my family with a passport. We plan on getting them for the others. In the interim, BC's and DL's have been just fine for 16 cruises. Be sure to get cruise insurance though! That's the one thing I'd never travel without!!!

I just don’t get the whole bring-something-for-the-light thing... Why not just use the sign and sail card? In land-based hotels with a similar thing, you always use your hotel door card... but, whatever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In land-based hotels with a similar thing, you always use your hotel door card... but, whatever... I don’t use my ship card because when I leave the cabin I need my ship card with me and if there’s nothing in the slot you can’t leave anything charging and the air conditioner won’t run.

In land-based hotels with a similar thing, you always use your hotel door card... but, whatever... If I recall, it is not just the lights that turn off. If you have something charging in the only outlet in the cabin, the power is also cut when removing the car.

In land-based hotels with a similar thing, you always use your hotel door card... but, whatever... I stayed at a hotel that had that recently. The front desk clerk gave me an extra card and said keep it in the slot. People who use their s&s cards are going to end up locking them in the room. Or they pull theirs out when they walk out and it turns the lights off on someone else. Just a hassle that shouldn’t exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cafedumonde Posted February 24, 2018 #242 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Lysol spray Clorox wipes Bath scrubber pads that soap up (clean the entire bathroom). Yes, germophobe here. Also, Kids motrin Swimmers ear drops (put 'em in the kids' ears every day before the problem starts!) Ziplocs Scotchtape (for some reason we always need this). Lots of $$$ especially 1s and 5s.

Just a hassle that shouldn’t exist. Exactly - that is what happened to me - hubby left with his card that had been in the slot & I was left in the dark. It's easier for us to put an unused card in the slot & turn out the main light when we leave the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the A/C stays on as well - otherwise you'd get too hot overnight. I think it's the bathroom shaver plug that is off if the bathroom light is off - I've never actually tested it - just read it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comiso13 Posted February 24, 2018 #246 Share Posted February 24, 2018 love hearing the creativity from everyone, learning a lot in one long thread. I over packed little things on my first cruise, but am slowly developing a sense of what I need to take with me. I very much agree with $1 and $5 for various purposes. On another cruise line, there was a bridge cam channel on the TV that I could leave on all night as a very low level night light in case I woke up during the night, does Carnival have anything like that?

katibug Posted June 14, 2018 #250 Share Posted June 14, 2018 A snake. But it IS an emotional support snake. Just kidding. I'm bringing a lightweight binder with plastic sleeves to slip little bits of papers and receipts for each day. I started doing this for the trip after my mom got sick and I needed to itemize stuff for the travel insurance reimbursement. I also can get a good gauge of my daily spending and secure mementos for my travel journal. But a snake would be cool too. I always bring a Ziploc for business trips - holds all my receipts for the expense report. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
