emam Posted February 3, 2020 #2 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Books, I pass them onto the crew when I have read them. Pen, notebook, puzzlebook. Folding washbag, detergent tablets/pods, drier sheets. Though I am thinking of sending washing to laundry on next cruise. Kindle fire. Chocolate. Scissors, safety pins etc. Hubby. Blister plasters. Sea sickness tablets.

Sea sickness tablets. ooo you’ve just given me a good idea. Little sewing kits with the safety pins in. Good thinking. I wouldn’t have thought of that. Or the plasters. Maybe I should also take calpol for kids just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The zip got stuck on my formal dress on our last cruise, hence scissors etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get digestives in the buffet with the cheese biscuits, if I haven't already been there filling my pockets and taking them back to the cabin with my late night hot chocolate... Washing sheets are the way to go, no risk of mess. Night light. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie11 Posted February 4, 2020 #9 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Magnetic hooks and clips which fix to the cabin wall to hold hats etc and assorted pieces of info like Horizon. There is very little “put down space” in cabins & it’s good to have easy access to some things Clock with a very luminous face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clodia Posted February 4, 2020 #10 Share Posted February 4, 2020 A couple of those little LED candles. One for the bathroom at night so you don't have to turn on the light for bathroom visits and wake yourself up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie11 Posted February 4, 2020 #11 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Concentrated odour neutraliser, eg Fresh Drop, for the bathroom - essential when many people are using such a small space. Motion sensitive yellow light nightlight, as above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrierjohn Posted February 4, 2020 #17 Share Posted February 4, 2020 One thing not mentioned so far is the hot brush my wife takes, even with only one good arm she does a creditable job of styling her hair, and is happy with the on board hair dryer. Not sure if adaptors have been discussed but we take a couple of small multi purpose adaptors, mainly for US or European sockets where they exist, plus a 3 pin plug with a 2 pin shaver socket so I can charge my shaver, I have never yet found a ship or hotel bathroom 2 pin socket that my shaver plug will fit.

Adawn47 Posted February 4, 2020 #18 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I always pack a small first aid kit containg headache tablets, antiseptic cream, plasters, antihistamine cream in case of bites or stings, diocalm and dulcolax (because you never know ) I also make sure never to forget the shoe horn and clothes brush and sewing kit with scissors.

Rare Vampiress88 Posted February 4, 2020 Author #22 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Just now, eddie11 said: An umbrella - hopefully never used i had this conversation with my hubby about ponchos. Since we are going to Florida after the cruise I have to make two lists but I’m hoping that they will be similar so I don’t have as much work. he just said we’ll just get wet. Takes up too much space. He’s not even the one carrying anything! Do you think we would need a brolly in canaries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
