Rare LHT28 Posted November 18, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Not sure where to post this Has anyone taken one of those small travel humidifiers? Did you have any issues with the cruise line or problems in the cabin?? I find the cabins so dry I was thinking of taking one with me it can run on batteries/USB/110V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare martincath Posted November 18, 2019 #2 Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) Can't say as I have - but as someone who struggles with the dryness of AC environments I've tried a bunch of different styles of humidifiers over the years and found that in a small room the entirely-passive stoneware ones are plenty good enough to take the edge off without any of the hassles of power/batteries, or heating elements that have problems with limescale buildup in hard water (I used to have to take a chisel to the hotplate of my humidifier every year when we lived in Markham!) Something like these guys: amazon link (although we bought in one of the 'kitchen gadget' stores you find in every mall and only paid about $10 a pop). Just pour in some water and check to see when it needs topped-up, and soak in a bleach solution every now & again to kill any bacteria that like the moist environment. Just one 4" model is enough to make me comfortable in our entire Portland 'cottage' which has AC running all day throughout summer, so even if you're cruising in a suite the smallest size you can find should be good enough. If it's too much hassle to pack a ~4"x4"x4" box, you can use the same principle with flat pieces of terracotta stoneware, e.g. the little discs you get for keeping your sugar bowl from clumping? Sit them on a saucer or in a glass next to the bed and pour a little water over them (but don't cover completely, they need the top to be dry for the process to work) just before you go to sleep.

Rare LHT28 Posted November 18, 2019 Author #3 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I usually just use the ice bucket & leave it on the table in the cabin sometimes it works better than other time Interesting room humidifier The one I have you screw a water bottle on it & it sprays a cool mist it is very small works for my bedroom at night Was just curious if anyone had any issues with the ship in taking one onboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Land&Sea_Cruiser Posted November 20, 2019 #4 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I suspect you will be just fighting the A/C unit. Drink lots of water, use a mist unit or a cool hand towel and leave your A/C unit at a higher (warmer) setting. Find the balance that works for you. If that humidifier has a heater in it, they may have an issue with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I have sprays a small cool mist of water into the air doubt it would affect the AC it uses less than 500ml of water for 8 hrs in the night here at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted December 25, 2019 Author #6 Share Posted December 25, 2019 UPDATE I used my travel humidifier for our 2 wk cruise worked perfectly The last night I had packed it & DH commented how dry the room was that night So overall it did make a difference in the room at night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
