Travelling2Some Posted October 10, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I'll start: (1) my own coffee and Keurig - don't like Starbucks. (2) my electric toothbrush. (3) my fuzzy slippers that are too bulky to pack. (4) real books - preferably hard cover. (5) potato chips! P.S. This is meant to be a non-serious FUN thread. If you don't "see the point", think it is "unnecessary", or want to start a dopey argument over nothing, please just keep scrolling and move along. 14 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alwaysplanningatrip Posted October 10, 2022 #3 Share Posted October 10, 2022 As a first time solo cruiser I am interested at what may be listed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JamieLogical Posted October 10, 2022 #4 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Potato chips for sure. My husband always ends up wasting OBC in the shop onboard to buy Pringles. I sometimes miss my streaming channels if I am having a "down day" and just want to veg out in my stateroom. But most of the time I don't even bother turning the TV to anything other than the Navigation channel on a cruise. Buffalo Chicken. I know they have wings at O'Sheehan's/The Local on NCL, but I don't eat meat on a bone. So I miss things like boneless wings, wing dip, and Buffalo chicken pizza while cruising. I live in Rochester, NY so we have everything from Buffalo chicken omelets to Bufalo chicken quesadillas everywhere you go. The BIGGEST thing I miss though is good beer! I am a total craft beer snob and stick mostly to porters and stouts with the occasional Scotch Ale. Even the NCL ships with District Brew House don't have any decent (by my standards) beers. At home, I literally drink beer every day. On a cruise, I try to get the most out of my drink package with cocktails. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dislike the coffee maker in the room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually travel carry-on only, mostly because there is a land trip (trains, multiple hotels, etc.) attached to our cruises at one or both ends.

billslowsky Posted October 10, 2022 #14 Share Posted October 10, 2022 TV channels. Non-cable news. And along with the weather channel mention, how about adding weather radar to the ship locator maps? I don't need to see how far away from Africa or Chicago we are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philips One by Sonicare I recently switched to this as my travel toothbrush - takes up the same space as a regular toothbrush (actually, a little less) and one charge would easily last a two-week cruise. But beware, it has less power than a regular electric toothbrush (I use an Oral-B at home). For temporary use however, it is so convenient and still better than a regular toothbrush. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weltek Posted October 10, 2022 #17 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I second "my own space" and my regular tv shows, and will add a bigger closet full of clothes. I like choices. Of things already mentioned, I still bring "real" books and a small hot water kettle and french press (plus my favorite coffees). I like to stay in my pjs for a long time in the morning and good coffee is important to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the first thing I say hi to when I get home 😁 OMG! How did I forget decent toilet paper?!?!? I am pretty picky about my toilet paper at home (Charmin Ultra Strong). I even bring some with me whenever I take road trips/land-based driving vacations. Fun Fact: On our first cruise together, some guy coming out of one of the men's public restrooms said to my husband, "They got that John Wayne toilet paper. It don't take sh** from no one."
