tarheelmjfan Posted February 26, 2005 #1 Share Posted February 26, 2005 What type of air freshner do you use in your cabin? I always burn candles in my home, which I know isn't allowed in the cabins. We are flying, which I'm assuming may be a problem with an aerosol. (If they limit the amount of aerosol you can take, I'm going with hairspray. :p ) I know there's plug-ins, but I don't know if the ship considers these a fire hazard or not. What's left? :confused: TIA :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMelody Posted February 26, 2005 #2 Share Posted February 26, 2005 We used on of the Glade plugs ins, and it worked great. Left it plugged in all the time, and the cabin steward never said a thing, so I assume it was ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vijoge Posted February 26, 2005 #3 Share Posted February 26, 2005 We've never used anything. I never even considered taking air freshener. Never noticed any type of odor in the cabin, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrlaurie Posted February 27, 2005 #4 Share Posted February 27, 2005 They have those new air freshners that are small like plug ins, but are battery operated(and comes with the batterys). Glade make one, and so does Oust. I bought the Glade Fan for our upcoming cruise. Never would have thought of this until CC. Great idea, since I love them at home.

tarheelmjfan Posted February 27, 2005 Author #5 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Thanks all! :) I'll look for the battery operated kind, just in case Celebrity has a problem with the plug-in. I always take a candle when we go anywhere. I'm so used to them in my home, that it doesn't seem right to walk into a room & not be met with the nice fragrance. :p Thanks for the alternative suggestions. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaParrotHead Posted February 27, 2005 #6 Share Posted February 27, 2005 I have it and love it at home, the Citrus and Herb is my favorite, and will be taking one along on my cruise as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathyoo Posted February 27, 2005 #7 Share Posted February 27, 2005 The little battery operated air freshner worked very well on my recent cruise. Although there were plenty of outlets in my cabin I would definitely recommend the battery operated version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowshh Posted February 27, 2005 #8 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Just returned last week from cruise. I took the battery operated one also. It's nice that you can put it anywhere you like in the cabin - unlike ones that must be plugged in. REMEMBER to save the top to the fragrance bottle so you can replace it and bring freshner back home. I'd put it in a freezer ziplock bag too.

tmp1127 Posted February 27, 2005 #9 Share Posted February 27, 2005 At home we use Yankee Candles ... but no candles on the ship. Sooo we use the Yankee Candle car jars :) works great .. cabin smells like clean cotton all week :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkubi7 Posted March 1, 2005 #10 Share Posted March 1, 2005 If you really enjoy your candles and want to drag them along on your cruise, craft stores now sell an inexpensive electric warmer for candles. It looks like a small hot plate for a coffee pot. You plug it in, set the candle on top and as the candle warms and melts, it gives off the fragrance. The wick is never lit. I found them in the candle section of our local craft store but I have never used one. I believe they were $8.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted March 1, 2005 #11 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I carry a small bottle of lavender essential oil. A couple of drops on a tissue is enough to freshen the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gammasip Posted March 1, 2005 #12 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Yankee candle air freshners that hang in your car. They come in many scents and are flat as a piece of cardboard so they pack anywhere and take up no space. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckrobyn Posted March 1, 2005 #13 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Just off the Radiance....we took a small bottle of air freshener, it is made by GLADE and is the Pot Pourri fragrance of Country Berries. What is really neat about this product is the size....it's TINY! It's a concentrate so one spray will do. I found this in Canada at Shoppers Drug Mart, but I am quite sure Walmart or Walgreens in the U.S must also carry it. I would consider this product purse size...that's how small it is! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no reason to ever take a candle on a cruise.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J & H love2cruise Posted March 1, 2005 #15 Share Posted March 1, 2005 We're taking the Glade Plug-In with night light. We usually just leave the bathroom light on with the door just slightly open. We thought we would try this. Thanks CC board for the good ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarheelmjfan Posted March 1, 2005 Author #16 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I never realized that there were so many options. I never look past the candles. I'll definitely check out all the suggestions & see which works best for us. Thanks again :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
