IBookHePays Posted December 14, 2008 #26 Share Posted December 14, 2008 There are only two things you need to fix anything / everything! Duct Tape - if it's ripped or moves - and it shouldn't! WD-40 - if it's stuck or should move - and it doesn't!! This is the best "fix-it" advice I've ever heard! Love it!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scayuga Posted December 14, 2008 #27 Share Posted December 14, 2008 1. To place signs indescriminantly on the backs of people who use it to save deck chairs while they go back to sleep in their cabin. :) 2. To strap bottles of liquor to your legs while you check in to board the ship. ;) 3. To cut three strips in case you forget your swim suit :confused: 4. To place Out Of Order signs on a slot machine you're playing until you can come back with more money :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayaguru Posted December 14, 2008 #28 Share Posted December 14, 2008 To cut three strips in case you forget your swim suit :p THREE!!! You obviously haven't met me then. :cool: I've never taken duct tape (or pegs for the shower curtain). I'm sure there will be a cruise critic fan onboard who could lend me some.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rancher Dave Posted December 14, 2008 #29 Share Posted December 14, 2008 To tape shut the mouth of anyone complaining around me. - Oh, wait, that's what I WISH I could use it for! *LOL* very good. Guess it could be used to tape naughty kids to their parents who were letting them run around acting badly...:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J & G Posted December 14, 2008 #31 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Guess it could be used to tape naughty kids to their parents who were letting them run around acting badly...:D Great idea! And then can we gently tape their mouths so we don't have to listen to the screaming and yelling.....both kids and parents? :D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolfandude Posted December 14, 2008 #32 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I get up at 6am, go to the pool, find the best chair, then put a big X of duct tape on it. Add a sign "out of order", then go back to bed and come back at noon, remove the tape and order a drink.;) You probably were kidding but what a good idea! And I WILL try this! I'll let you know what happens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvkst Posted December 14, 2008 #33 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Yes, but you used Duck Tape that for fixing wings, broken bills and repairing feathers. She asked about duct tape.........:D Ha ha ha!! You got me!!:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCruisers Posted December 15, 2008 #35 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Actually, there is a brand of duct tape called Duck Tape!! Heehee REALLY. :eek: Yes ... It's made by Manco and sold it Lowe's and Home Depot as well as other major outlets! Duck Tape! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted December 15, 2008 #36 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I use it to take up valuable space in my luggage. It allows me to pack and pay for an extra bag. In some cases the roll of tape weighs enough that I can pay a fee for have an overweight bag. NEVER PACKED IT, NEVER NEEDED IT! :cool: You really don't have to carry a big roll. Duct Tape/Duck Tape comes in small blister packs ... check Lowe's, Home Depot, Ace, or other home centers. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Teen Posted December 15, 2008 #37 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Who knew duct tape (or duck tape) would become so Popular here on Cruise Critic!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveScotland Posted December 15, 2008 #38 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Repair broken handle on luggage - airline did the breaking the day of my flight to the port so was glad to have the duct tape. Repairing a hem - have done that, too. Hadn't thought about wrapping around the middle. Hmmm. Plastic wrap first (so tape doesn't stick to tummy) and then duct tape around and around real tight. Cheaper than Spanx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coralc Posted December 15, 2008 #39 Share Posted December 15, 2008 We had to go to Walgreens and buy some in San Juan. The airline handlers split the side open on on of our suitcases. It was an older, black roller bag that used to be a carry-on, before we had to check our toiletries. Anyway, duct tape solved the problem. And it was a Panama Canal repo to the West Coast, so we didn't have to fly at the end. I think the roll of tape has now been transferred to the other black roller bag....so it might be there if we ever need it in the future. :D If not, we'll buy more. :):D:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donna1127 Posted January 27, 2009 #43 Share Posted January 27, 2009 To tape together the flimsy cardboard box they give you to carry your duty free booze on the plane. That was a lifesaver! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gullivertx Posted January 27, 2009 #44 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I get up at 6am, go to the pool, find the best chair, then put a big X of duct tape on it. Add a sign "out of order", then go back to bed and come back at noon, remove the tape and order a drink.;) This probably is most effective against the blondes around the pool.

golfer1966 Posted January 27, 2009 #45 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Can also be used in place of hand cuffs. ;) Poor man's ****** - two Popsicle sticks and duct tape I want to party with you texascruzer...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgkdk Posted January 27, 2009 #46 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Shhhhhh....don't tell...but I used my duct tape to bring home my "towel elephant". I just taped it up carefully so it wouldn't fall apart on the trip home and it worked. And yes...he lived happily on my bathroom counter for almost 2 years when I couldn't take dusting it anymore. And yes...the towels were returned on our last trip....clean too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skellis2 Posted January 27, 2009 #47 Share Posted January 27, 2009 The four people who were arrested coming off the cruise ship with over a million dollars in cocaine used it to tape the cocaine to their bodies like a body suit. :eek::eek: Didn't help them however.
