REALgetaway Posted October 8, 2010 #1 Share Posted October 8, 2010 ok.. we all know how to pack and what to bring and what not to bring.. but is there one or two FUN items you bring with you on every cruise regardless? I am looking for suggestions on some thing small that will make the trip a little more special. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bplazo Posted October 8, 2010 #2 Share Posted October 8, 2010 What kind of "fun" things are you referring too? Just remember that they x-ray the luggage :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w8ing2cruz Posted October 8, 2010 #3 Share Posted October 8, 2010 On the first cruise that we took the kids we brought those bottles of bubbles. At sailaway the kids all blew their bubbles all over the place - it was pretty neat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyjr88 Posted October 8, 2010 #4 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I brought my red, white and blue stuffed elephant and he went just about everywhere with us on the ship and was leader of the towel 'zoo' that our steward left us. We also put white boards on our doors so random ppl can leave messages (which they did!) Is that the kind of fun things you're thinking of?

Ehpride Posted October 8, 2010 #12 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Yes thanks.. and the poster who's kids brought bubbles.. great idea.. although at 47 yrs old.. i might be a bit over age for bubbles. lol You're only as young as you feel. Go for it! Personally, the two things that we always bring is mardi gras beads/glow necklaces for the deck party and an inflatable palm tree for our cabin. We also bring room/door decorations. We're all about fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2gals1cruise4fun Posted October 8, 2010 #19 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I took two beautiful plastic margarita glasses and little umbrellas for our in-room drinks and some flameless flicker candles for the balcony. Just sort of set a nice mood. Oh, and I decorated the door with a sign that said, "What happens on the Pride, stays on the Pride" and framed it with a purple feather boa! Enjoy!

REALgetaway Posted October 9, 2010 Author #24 Share Posted October 9, 2010 ok.. i need to put more thought into this then... it didn't even cross my mind that we might need some travel games while laying on the deck sunning ourselves.. and music in the cabin too. Sheesh, i might need two more suitcases just to carry everything now. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantocruisemore Posted October 9, 2010 #25 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Binoculars... :rolleyes: Thanks for the reminder. I remember that was one thing my husband said he wished he had taken before. I'm making a list of things to take and adding as I think of them. I will be sure to add binoculars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
