kaseyoz Posted February 26, 2006 #26 Share Posted February 26, 2006 yes the ship did provide clean cold water at the pier on the island stops. Plus drink were sold via cruisecard. They are not too expensive and they serve you. karen instaed of taking a pop up hamper take one of those blue/red striped bags from the $2 shop. hang it near the front door (there are hooks) or in the bathroom. put all your dirty washing in it and then just zip it up and take it home like that straight to the laundry. Not so good if you are flying though You can also use them for beach bags as we seemed to take a lot with us to the beach, snorkels, towels, camera video etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lias Posted February 27, 2006 #27 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Sorry Have no idea why but my reply came up in the wrong thread - So I removed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmac Posted February 27, 2006 #28 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Karon, yes I probably will take 1 or 2 of those bags as well but I thought the hamper might be good to chuck all our shoes in rather than have them spread around the cabin. When I get back I'll use at home as there are always shoes sread all over the place:) Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davoni Posted February 28, 2006 #30 Share Posted February 28, 2006 We take Aqua-ear drops for after swimming... Read on another packing tips thread that some people take one of those plastic slide under the door stoppers for privacy during the day in case the cabin steward pops in:confused: I guess they use this when taking a nap!:p :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiselover96 Posted March 7, 2006 #32 Share Posted March 7, 2006 For those going on the Asia cruise, Sarah suggested toilet paper (or toilet wipes) as some places have "rustic" toilets. Nothing worse than being caught off guard. Kerri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
