What 1 unique item do you pack for you 're cruise ?

 

What is the one "little" thing that you cant live without and makes you're cruise that much better??

 

Thanks travelscrapper!

 

 

ziplock baggies and plastic bags to take wet & dirty clothes home in :)

[QuitMyDayJob]

A pair of water sox/shoes things for rocky beaches.

 

Insect repellent wipes (rather than lotion)--less spills and much more travel friendly!

[WindyCity]

Air Freshener for the washroom.:)

[QuitMyDayJob]

Ok, two more:

 

Little spray bottle of Febreze.

 

Little spray bottle of wrinkle releaser.

We bought an an inexpensive sattalite travel clock. It sets itself unless you change time zones and then you adjust that yourself. I also take a travel steamer.

[Kathy & George]

A Misting Lavender Spray Bottle. It cools and relaxes you at the same time and what a refresher in hot weather, on a bus, at the beach, or shopping around town. Found it in Key West port. You could make it up with lavender oil and water though.;)

Several books, I normally read a lot and do so even more at sea. On the balcony, on the promenade deck, by the pool, on the beach. So relaxing.

[jbhcw]

Special books I've been meaning to read and haven't had time, also low-sodium V8, just so I can make m own low sodium Bloddy Mary!

[Golfgrl1911]

Several books & my blow up Goodyear Blimp that I hang from the balcony so I can see where our cabin is from port.:D Nancy

We take along a shoe bag that we place on the inside of the bathroom door for all of our toiletries, especially if you are not in a suite!

[MizzCard]

Most definitely a 3 socket adaptor. This allows me to run my hairdryer while my curling iron is warming up.

[Ziggy7]

We also bring an extenison cord and power bar :) We travel with our laptop, and cameras :)

Post-it notes, velcro and a pen

 

- makes it easy for folks to leave notes on the door.

[saltydog28]

Two- different colored- hi-lighter pens. One for me -one for my husband. To hi-light the daily paper.

Two lengths of speaker wire so we can move the stereo speakers out on to the verandah. We spend a LOT of time on out verandah and with the speakers inside, you have to turn the volume up way to loud to even hear it outside. We love to listen to music out on our verandah.

What is unique is what we don't take -- NOTHING RELATED TO OUR JOBS OR REGULAR DAY TO DAY LIVES -- just books for fun, music, and each other!

[rickcohen2]

We never leave home (especially if that entails an airplane flight) without lots of music and TWO sets of headphones.

 

It used to be a small cassette player.

Then we went to a CD player.

We now use a filled 40-Gb iPod.

[caxxandra]

Swimsuit

 

The rest I can live without, but not the swimsuit.

[blackbird71]

iPod with audiobooks and a JBL on-tour speakers to listen to on my balcony...:cool:

Not really that "unusual," but my bible, along with my CD player and a case filled with CD's containing "teachings" from some of the national radio ministries. I buy these CD's periodically throughout the year, but sometimes don't get the time to listen to all of them while at home. So, I always bring along my backlog for listening to before retiring for the night.

 

No better way to start and end the day, in my opinion, than in the Word.

 

Blue skies ...

I'll second the vote for the over-the-door shoe organizer!!!! It holds so much within easy reach - hairspray, toothbrush, paste, glasses, suntan lotion, bug spray, makeup mirror, prescriptions, etc., etc, etc. This great idea came from a fellow CC poster!!

we pack:

 

- lense wipes

- hand wipes

- travel alarm clock with a themometer

- duffle bag (draw string type)

 

The prewettened lense wipes are very useful for cleaning sunglasses, binoculars, and camera lenses whenever and wherever.

 

The prewettened hand wipes are very useful for when you eat on shore. No need to catch un-wanted "bugs" ashore.

 

The themometer is very useful to gauge and set the stateroom themostat. I started packing it when I did a lot of business travel and stayed a lot of hotel rooms. This way I knew how much to move the thermostat to get to the temp I wanted.

 

Finally, the duffle bag is VERY useful when either walking around the ship or on excursions. We keep always keep the sunglasses, wipes, and camera in the bag, but will add towels, water bottles, etc. depending on where we are going.

 

On our last cruise (Costa), we won two new duffle bags (waterproof!!!) by coming first in the master series trivia game. These bags aren't for sale by Costa, but can only be won. The bags are about 18 inches tall and about 10 inches around at the base.

A travel sewing kit. The kit includes pins, needles, scissors, tape measure, thread, buttons and a few other accessories.

[trubey]

My most important item is one I learned about from a cc post: A clothes pin to keep the curtains together. susan.

Tim,

 

What stero speakers are you talking about. I would love to take a few CDs if there is a stero in the SR.
