mongo59r Posted April 24, 2011 #27 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I always take a deck of playing cards and a plastic bag containing a small set of jeweler's screwdrivers, lens cloth, clothes pins, a few zip ties, and a never used mini roll of duct tape.

mavis2222 Posted April 24, 2011 #29 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Dog Bisquits to feed fish while snorkling. They dont disolve in water and you can hold peices of one in your fingers and watch all the fish eat off it right in front of your face.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlendaleCruiser Posted April 24, 2011 #30 Share Posted April 24, 2011 These all seem like normal packing items to me.:D My suitcase is usually half full before I put in any clothes. Phase 10 is my card game of choice now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MszKitty Posted April 24, 2011 #35 Share Posted April 24, 2011 i have been known too throw in my wooden back scratcher. that nasty itch in the middle of my back that i cant reach isnt going too get the best of me :D I used to take that too, but I recently purchased this: http://www.usefulthings.com/shop/home/telescopic-back-scratcher.php?gclid=CJjl87PLtagCFQkMbAod5SDQAA It works quite well.

chive Posted April 25, 2011 #36 Share Posted April 25, 2011 IMHO, everything listed on the post is totally useless and is silly to bring. Postits - use the free pads. Highlighters - they supply ball point pens. A hamper - just bring a plastic bag. Etc., etc., etc. The only useful thing on any of these posts is lots of $1 bills. DON Small tabletop fan post-it notes to leave notes for cabin steward can of spray air freshener Highlighter - to mark things I don't want to miss in the Cruise Compass Scentsy travel tin - fragrance for the room Lysol wipes for cabin king sized pillow cases A dry erase marker to write messages to my DH on the mirror 4 inch magnifying mirror WIPES a must to wipe down the cabin, body soap and DEFNITELY Bath & body works little room spray! FASHION TAPE, inflatable rafts or tubes for the beach, TOWELS Powdered Gatorade. Add it to water after being in the sun all day to replenish the electrolytes. We always take at least one pop up hamper a very handy luggage scale that we can't do with out a battery operated spray fan to use in between dips in the pool. duct tape My Pillows, small fan, small cooler I'm with Don. You're on a cruise ship, not stranded on an island. There are dozens of threads on items to pack, most of them are ridiculous, in my opinion. You'd think that peoiple won't see civilization again. Wipe down the cabin? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzy77 Posted April 25, 2011 #37 Share Posted April 25, 2011 http://www.amazon.com/Mary-Kay-Roll-up-Travel-Cosmetic-Bag/dp/B003BUSRUQ ok I LOVE this thing because it folds up flat and there is like 6 velcro on bags that i can scatter through my luggage packed with medication in one, makeup in one, toothbrushes/razors ect ect ect and when i get to the ship i attach it to the back of the door(it hangs) then stick all the bags on it...and because we usually have a small room if im doing my hair or makeup at the vanity i just yank it down from the door(so its much better than a over the door shoe rack).....as far as how they have it rolled up in the picture i think that would be stupid because its big then but as i said you take the bags off....ok im babbling HAHA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griffy116 Posted April 27, 2011 #44 Share Posted April 27, 2011 My SIL.He is seriously the most useless thing we have ever had to carry on a cruise. We've cruised 7 times with him because my daughter keeps bringing him along (LOL). He sucks the happiness out of you if you stay around him too long. We've taken 2 cruises with my daugher, without him and trust me when I say, he's the strangest, most useless thing we've ever had to carry on a cruise.

Langley Cruisers Posted April 27, 2011 #46 Share Posted April 27, 2011 ...but wow, that is pretty harsh.... this is definately a family problem that was not neccessary too share here. Absolutely agree on all points. Wow. Sad indeed. :( OP, I take a small pen-sized flashlight and keep it by the bed. Ever since the Carnival Splendour engine room fire incident last year where they lost power, it freaks me out a little to think of a darkened cruise ship/airplane/hotel room, you name it.
