poffles Posted March 8, 2011 #302 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Small travel-size steam iron. I didn't think to bring one on my first cruise. I thought there would be one in the cabin (like a hotel room). No iron, had to send things to be pressed, very pricey. Now, I always pack it. Our friends went with us after Thanksgiving and borrowed it. They didn't think to pack one either. Have fun! I've read you can request one sent to your room for short time use, hope this is true cause I won't pay to have them do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphelila Posted April 7, 2011 #303 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I just bought two "vapor bottles" for our cruise. They fold up for easy storage and you can fill them up at the buffet and clip them onto your backpack or purse for your excursions. Super neat! I got mine on Ebay for cheap, but here is their website: http://vapur.us/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schubean Posted April 7, 2011 #305 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Mosquito spray for land excursions in Alaska. Who would believe we'd be eaten alive in Fairbanks? Also, take half the clothes you think you'll need. Good advice - The Mosquito is Alaska's "STATE BIRD". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadKitteh Posted April 8, 2011 #306 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Something I learned on these boards is to pack your bag. After you finish, remove half the clothes and repack. Repeat a couple times. I did a week long cruise with just a carry on and backpack. Bring 2 bathing suits. You will always have at least one wet at any given time!

Ms belp Posted April 8, 2011 #307 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Bring layers, layers, and more layers. We also brought a blanket that we could plug in, sit out on our balcony, and enjoy the scenery. Especially when we cruised Glacier Bay. Best cruise I've ever taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncyankee Posted April 8, 2011 #309 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Leaving on the 16th - great lists. Remember -- most of our cell phones now have alarm clocks built right in. Don't need to bring the alarm clocks anymore. To me the # 1 item to bring -- a power strip. Couldn't cruise without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vowsatsea Posted April 8, 2011 #311 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Packing List I found on line You wouldn't need half the stuff on that list. It's a little too thorough for me. Why does someone need a Magic Bullet on a cruise? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayenu Posted April 8, 2011 #315 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I am only on page 2 of reading this thread, and apologies if this was posted already, somebody said not much room in the bathroom - make sure you check if the mirror can be opened as there may be shelves behind it, worked for us on some ships.

cjsebastian Posted April 21, 2011 #317 Share Posted April 21, 2011 playing cards if you use them - sometimes they are scarce on the ship and don't seem to be free much anymore! Small flashlight and a color copy (preferably laminated)of your passport(s) packed separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gail and Ken Posted April 22, 2011 #319 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Don't forget a cheap poncho.. If it heaven forbid rains. Much better than an umbrella. Leaves 2 hands free to carry all those shopping bags and you can keep your money and camera dry under it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cshgrand Posted April 22, 2011 #320 Share Posted April 22, 2011 If, like us, you are from the uk but like to travel on US based ships don't forget voltage adaptors. Last cruise on rccl Enchantement I forgot mine and no uk three pin adaptors on sale which resulted in a HUGE salon bill getting my hair straightened every other day.

umpy10 Posted April 22, 2011 #322 Share Posted April 22, 2011 A power strip is basically an extention cord that on one end has the ability recieve multiple electrical appliances , any where from 3 to 8 outlets. Great for plugging in chargers for camera , cell phones , mp3 players , laptops etc. Also if you just need an extra outlet to use for a CPAP machine ( for Sleep Apnia ) as the commercial says "don't leave home without it " I always bring one with me no matter where I travel.

susieh57 Posted April 22, 2011 #323 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Water Bottles that you can refill... It gets very hot walking around the island and also VERY EXPENSIVE to purchase bottled water for everyone! Also I bring reading materials for down time for either when you are sitting at the pool, waiting for shows to start or even traveling... ALSO PLENTY OF SUN SCREEN with HIGH SPF!! Especially if you burn easy.... Hope you have a great time... we are going on our 8th cruise in September... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallFellow Posted April 25, 2011 #324 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Echo - bug spray and Aloe for sun exposure Add - Woolite pouches for that mid-cruise freshen up of your clothes. Add for techies -- a small portable USB drive with all your favorite TV shows in mp4 or avi format. Most of the ships TVs today accept USB drives and will play saved videos. (for those late evening sloth nights or for those kids who must have Dora on... etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its about the size of a ping pong ball and takes up lots less space then a power strip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
