banderboo Posted July 2, 2006 #31 Share Posted July 2, 2006 It's hard to narrow it down to just 5 sunscreen, sunscreen and more sunscreen (I'm a red head and get burned thinking about going out in the sun) Post-it notes - to leave messages for cabin steward and DH Highlighters (several colors) - to mark activities in the Compass Several bottles of water First-Aid kit DH is a gadget junkie so his list would be PSP (complete with games, movies and music) Inno XM radio Digital Camera Laptop Leatherman (I have to admit this one has come in handy just make sure it's in the packed luggage) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cayman1 Posted July 2, 2006 #32 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Maybe I am missing the obvious here, but can someone explain what is up with the duct tape and power strips? Why would you need either one of those? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maineac Posted July 2, 2006 #37 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Maybe I am missing the obvious here, but can someone explain what is up with the duct tape and power strips? Why would you need either one of those? :confused: The power strip is because their are a limited number of outlets in the cabins....We use them to charge all of DH & DS toys. The duct tape I have not used but have read it's to wrap around your suitcase if it gets damaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cacky Posted July 2, 2006 #38 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I thought of a few others: Downey wrinkle release (can take the place of a travel iron) brightly colored duct tape to put on luggage as an easy identification at airports, etc. We used Neon green and it was better than the ribbon we used to use on the handles. different sized zip lock bags. chap stick money clip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy cruzer Posted July 2, 2006 #39 Share Posted July 2, 2006 we should have done out list in order of importance?? Adds a little humor. 1. Money, meds, and docs 2. Bras and underwear, (really hard to replace with the kind you like, and yes I forgot to pack these ONCE- my honeymoon. OOOOps) 2. Seabands for motion sickness (they work for me and I get sick on buses, cars, airplanes, ships, probably anything that has motion...) 3. Walking shoes 4. Printouts from CC and travel notes and books 5. Sense of humor Happy Cruzin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erniesband Posted July 2, 2006 #41 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Why earplugs? Don't live with someone who snores, do you? They work beautifully! Why duct tape? The airline tore a new seam in my suitcase on the way down several cruises ago, and I didn't discover it until we were packing to go home. I had to borrow duct tape from maintenance - after trying to explain to our very helpful cabin steward exactly what it was - to get our stuff home. Since then we've always brought a small role of our own. Jodi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suze, I used the plier part of the leatherman to fix the buckle on my sandles and we've used the knife part numerous times to cut the twist ties off the luggage.

wolfcathorse Posted July 2, 2006 #43 Share Posted July 2, 2006 5. Captain to "drive" the ship I thought I would add something besides the obvious necessities. :D Don't even need him...or the quartermaster... an officer just sets the computer and they can stand on the dock (well, actually leave with the harbor pilot) waving bye-bye, hop on a plane, and meet us at the next port. But my 5 are: 1. %#&* Platinum shopping guide...to try and get my money's worth out of it by getting to most of the ports included in it within a year (I know, it'll never happen) 2. Jack 3. Jim 4. Johnny 5. caffeine free diet coke (for the above 3 friends) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

la_croisiere_s'amuse Posted July 3, 2006 #46 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I have to say I'm very surprised to only see ONE response of Downy Wrinkle release! Maybe I just have an unhealthy obsession with wrinkles . . . or maybe y'all spring for onboard pressing service . . . At any rate, just to even out the odds a bit: 1) Downy Wrinkle Release 2) Downy Wrinkle Release 3) Downy Wrinkle Release 4) Downy Wrinkle Release 5) Downy Wrinkle Release :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
