Rare fletch1027 Posted February 24, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 24, 2019 We're cruising on the Allure in 4 weeks with friends of ours and I'm looking for ideas for a small "cruise gift" to get them that will be of use on the cruise. For example, they already got us lanyards and last time we cruised with them, we got them boca towel clips. Let me know what kind of clever ideas y'all can think of! 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MandyMooToo Posted February 24, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 24, 2019 We did group cruise shirts this last cruise and wore them the first day. They were so fun and we can wear them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a blue anchor symbol and will remind you of the crown and anchor! $1 each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KelJ Posted February 24, 2019 #10 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Christmas of 2017 we took our family on the Anthem, and I gave everyone a nautical gift bag containing chapstick, germ gel, Boca clips, lanyards, luggage tags, little fans that connect to a cell phone, foil packets of sun screen, candy, battery-operated tea lights (nice as a nightlight or for use on the balcony table), plus a note telling them they each had OBC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare vacationlover_mn Posted February 24, 2019 #12 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Cute magnetic small whiteboard for their door, and a couple of those awesome magnetic hooks and clips from amazon. The hooks are strong enough to hold a hoody or many other light clothes (I put my empty beach bag on one, a hoody on another, and DH uses his for his hat). I use the clips to hold our tickets, the daily planners, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKSMIKE5 Posted February 26, 2019 #18 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I ordered cruise luggage tags on Amazon for our family and friends. They're plastic and reusable and very inexpensive. I added those to towel clips and magnetic hooks. Found them all on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Cruise-Luggage-Holder-Seal-Steel/dp/B01E4SQNLS/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=1TYZFMR1K2UGF&keywords=cruise+luggage+tags+royal+caribbean&qid=1551146051&s=gateway&sprefix=cruise+lu%2Caps%2C155&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOSKI Posted February 26, 2019 #19 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Not for use on ship but I bought the ship ornaments for daughters and their friend on our last cruise. The plastic cruise tag holders from Amazon are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love this! Just used this to round out a fun beach bag for my son and his GF - it's her first cruise so I know she'll have fun with it and those boca clips were too adorable to resist!

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I’m a crafty person so I make mine. Buy some cruising related stickers (look in the scrapbooking section of your craft store for really nice ones) and add their first names and city, state. Sadly, I’ve had generic ones (like magnets) stolen, so always put names and city/state on them somewhere. I’ve also found some cute items on Amazon like this porthole sticker! I just used permanent marker and write our names in the “water”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamcruzin Posted March 3, 2019 #23 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I have been following this thread to get ideas for a swag bag for DW’s 50th BD celebration. Some really good ideas here. Can anyone recommend a water proof pouch or container to place cellphones, ID and Money in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare vacationlover_mn Posted March 3, 2019 #24 Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) We got this before our last trip and loved it. Could fit 2 phones, my kindle (with the case off), money, ID. Different colors are different prices. We have a blue one that it appears they aren’t currently offering. not waterproof, but will lock to your chair 🙂 Edited March 3, 2019 by vacationlover_mn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare brillohead Posted March 3, 2019 #25 Share Posted March 3, 2019 These are the magnetic hooks I use. A damp swimsuit on a hanger hung from the ceiling with one of the these hooks by the air vent will actually dry completely overnight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
