Rare *Miss G* Posted February 24, 2018 #202 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Maybe it's like those bird stickers so they don't fly into the window. Instead it's human stickers so they don't walk into the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since you've admitted to being a clutter-free minimalist in your stateroom, I'm guessing you're not running out to buy some for your next trip. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieAF Posted February 24, 2018 #204 Share Posted February 24, 2018 (edited) I always bring a soft cooler like this one. It collapses flat in luggage, but I use it like a packing cube. On the ship, I use it as a refrigerator. In a Studio cabin on NCL, there is no fridge so I have used my ziploc bags filled with ice and put the cooler on the shower floor filled with with the ice bags and anything I wanted to keep cold. Last cruise, I was sent gifts of chocolate covered strawberries and a cheese plate and I kept it all cold/refrigerated this way. On port days, I bring a water bottle, snacks, juice, etc. Edited February 24, 2018 by JulieAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit classier than walking around with an actual beer bucket. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willowtak Posted February 24, 2018 #209 Share Posted February 24, 2018 vinyl clings are just for decoration, usually do a seasonal thing. Next cruise will do for ST Patrick's day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare firstcruise91 Posted February 24, 2018 #210 Share Posted February 24, 2018 COLOR copies of your passport and drivers license! Carry them with you when you depart the ship and keep a spare set in your on-board travel bags. They can be life savers and don't take up any room! Great idea boze9999. We learned a vital lesson from an article in International Travel News of the troubles a lady had proving to the French authorities that she was indeed the wife of her husband who had just died while they were on vacation. It is so easy to get an official certified copy of your marriage license (not a copy of it), it has no expiration date and weighs a fraction of an ounce. We keep ours in a red paper folder with color copies of our passports and our driver's license. The folder just stays in our luggage ready for our next adventure.

gigianne Posted February 25, 2018 #213 Share Posted February 25, 2018 A small plastic spray bottle - fill it with warm water - spritz your wrinkled clothes - give them a good shake and hang them up - no ironing necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We keep ours in a red paper folder with color copies of our passports and our driver's license. The folder just stays in our luggage ready for our next adventure. Another option (and what we do) for these documents, is to simply create digital images of them on our phone. That way, they're available immediately whenever asked for, and this eliminates the need to carry hard-copy copies of everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlohaJoy Posted February 27, 2018 #220 Share Posted February 27, 2018 For a few pennies more, folks who feel a need to bring duct tape can purchase "gaffer" tape (at most hardware stores) instead (actually, if you need the tape, you can "borrow" it from the entertainment personnel on the ship). Gaffer tape holds as well as duct tape for most applications but leaves zero residue when removed.Also, any contemporary smart phone has a flashlight, nightlight, alarm clock, camera (pix quality on iPhone 7+ and later models is excellent), and capability for TV remote app, off line maps, all essential travel docs, et al. IMO, if you need OTD shoe hangers, extension cords (ship will provide for CPAP), etc., you're bringing way too much stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Forums After reading this thread I was about to respond as well concerning the cellphone being a source for many of these items. People forget there is a flashlight app for their phone. I use it ALL the time. Also, alarm clock. If you turn your phone "ON" while in port it will update to the right time. Take pictures of important documents with your phone...you can even email/ text the photo to yourself or to family members if you feel you will lose your phone!

Take pictures of important documents with your phone...you can even email/ text the photo to yourself or to family members if you feel you will lose your phone! Be careful with updating your phone to the time on the islands. Often times it is different than ship time, and we all know ship time takes priority. I do agree however that the cellphone has a multitude of the gadgets mentioned all in one package. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare kazu Posted February 27, 2018 #223 Share Posted February 27, 2018 My Ipad. It lets me keep in touch, do live threads. Set alarms, know the time, etc. And with it, the converter for my camera memory card so I can upload pics to the Ipad. After a losing a camera once, never again. And lastly my charger for my bluetooth keyboard. I am NOT a one finger typist. It died one cruise and fortunately a roll call memeber was able to bail me out. I know those are technically 3 things but they all go with the Ipad. So, I guess it's really 2 things for us - the corkscrew and the Ipad and all of it's necessities. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
