Ok, so we're all being horrid with our fun-loving treatment of death on a cruise ship. But I would prefer a quickie death while having fun on a cruise, rather than the alternative involving a hospital and doctors and surgeries. Even better with a Jack Daniels in my hand! :cool:

Cheers to you my like minded friend! May we pass swift and quickly (at our proper/designated times) with a drink in our hand. Is that an Irish blessing? If not, as a designated Irish I now pronounce it an Irish blessing..... :D

I want to be locked in the beer cooler. They say you can't take it with you, but I would try :D!

This literally made me laugh out loud. Thanks - I needed that! :D

Just as a note of caution - if you use anything that dangles (ribbon, shower poufs, etc), it can get caught in a luggage conveyor belt. It could just rip of the dangle, or if fastened really well, it will tear off what ever it's attached to or rip open your luggage. I've seen all of the above happen, including the luggage ripped open.

 

I've seen people hot-glue unique ribbon as an accent or actually in their initials. We use a brightly colored duct tape on the handles along with a certain color of zip ties. Just be careful in how you choose to mark your luggage so that it's not damaged.

My friends luggage was completely DESTROYED along with EVERYTHING inside of it on a business trip to Chicago after a bandana she tied on it got the whole mess caught in some sort of belt on a conveyor. The airline she used was very generous as nothing was slavageable. However, she had to take time out of a business trip to Shop for a whole new wardrobe. I'm sure that does not happen very often. But, if I'm on vacation - I would rather be safe than sorry... I don't imagine the cruise ship has a lot to offer to replace a wardrobe for 7 days.

I second the electrical tape. You can't miss the hot pink on my black luggage. I also have hot pink luggage tags that I found a target one year. I'm always afraid of tying ribbon or scarves on my luggage. I don't want it to get hung in machinery. I'm sure the ribbon would break before my luggage got sucked into something, but you never know....:o
