I am leaving for my 15 day Hawaiian cruise in a short 5 days and have already been thinking about the best way to set up my stateroom. I already have a pop up hamper, magnets and electric tea lights for my bathroom to help with room organization and to optimize the space in there. I am curious what you all do to help keep the room clean, organized and functional. Lets hear those tips! Thanks! I have magnet clips that I use on the wall to hang up the various documents that I have...Meet & Greet Flyer, Slot Pull Flyer, I’m the organizer of both, a table that I made that shows my cruise schedule day by day which shows if I’m doing anything that day. If I have a balcony stateroom I have a thermometer with a section cup that goes on the sliding door so that I can always see the temperature outside. Of of course I bring my charging cables so that I can charge my devices. I keep them in a drawer when I’m not using them. I always have a couple extra cables jus in case I need them. I recently bought some magnet hooks so that I can hang some items on them like a ball cap 🧢, Fanny Pack etc. i put my suitcase under the bed. I always have some extra zipper plastic bags some of the large size. Tom😎 Edited October 10, 2019 by trbarton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They come in different sizes. I posted what I've used. 3 different sizes. Tom😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prices are exorbitant. Retirees on fixed incomes sometimes have to stretch the budget just to cruise. Spending time in port trying to find something we could have brought with us is even worse. I also do not like bumping into things in the night as I get up a "couple" of times in the dark......😮....so my checklist includes a night light. I applaud those who can travel super light, but we ain't that couple! 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lido deck main Posted October 10, 2019 #83 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Hi, thanks for posting that document. I have always just packed things as I thought of things, but this is just more organized, as we are getting older we are forgetting more things, 😮 I am going to save and modify the document for us.

We were on a 33 day cruise and a lady forgot to pack her underwear she had packed her husbands and our first port stop wasn't for five days, so she wore her husbands for those first five days. Now my husband and I always ask did you pack your underwear. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare roxievegas Posted October 10, 2019 #87 Share Posted October 10, 2019 i buy from the dollar store the small plastic trays - you get 3 in a pack size is 5 x 5 inches - I put my makeup in one, toothpaste and brushes in the other and hubby uses one for his pill bottles and trays are put on shelf - easy to pull in and out if in one container magnets are great for hanging the notes for what we are doing for the day I bring one trash bag and all dirty clothes are put in trash bag and then stuffed in the suitcase when cruise is done I find that there is plenty of shelves, drawers and hanging for everything.

The previous sets I purchases at Winners. They're great, like having a set of drawers in your suitcase and really handy for pre- and post-hotels too.
