prncsscruiser Posted October 20, 2011 #1 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Hello, My boss is going on her first cruise on DCL next July to Alaska, for her birthday I want to make a little basket of things, like a "cruise kit"...I have been on many cruises but can't think of a lot of things and knew that this was the first place to go to for help! So far I have: The book "What Time is the Midnight Buffet" a Highlighter (for the daily news) travel size clorox wipes hand sanitizer I would love some more ideas...looking to spend around 50.00. It can be cruise, Disney, or Alaska related....or a mix of all 3. Thank you so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nectarologist Posted October 20, 2011 #2 Share Posted October 20, 2011 How about a coffee travel mug? Assuming she drinks coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Host Mick Posted October 20, 2011 #4 Share Posted October 20, 2011 A couple of bottles of wine since you can bring your own on board. A tube of Meclizine. (I never leave without it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJG Posted October 20, 2011 #5 Share Posted October 20, 2011 The hangin shoe bag (great for the wifes makeup and hair stuff) and the folding laundry basket are the 2 most useful pices of "room gear" we took to alaska Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TifffanyD Posted October 21, 2011 #8 Share Posted October 21, 2011 How about some ginger pills or other motion sickness meds? Maybe some binoculars if you can find them cheapish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hexdragon Posted October 21, 2011 #9 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Well she really won't need the wipes since every time you turn around the staff is handing you one... :p How about some Mickey earmuffs or a good rain poncho? She is going to Alaska.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prncsscruiser Posted October 22, 2011 Author #12 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Thanks for all the ideas... I'm still trying to figure it out... More ideas would be great. I think earmuffs are good and maybe a scarf!! Bug repellant is good I remember packing that on my Alaska cruises... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mufasa0505 Posted October 23, 2011 #13 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I'm doing something similar for my parents, going on their first DCL Caribbean cruise next July. I'm having a seller on etsy make a zippered tote bag. Birnbaum's DCL book or Passporter, biodegradable sunscreen, ginger or Bonine, small hanging closet organizer, Disney gift card, power strip... Lots of great ideas on this thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is going to Alaska.... Actually the wipes are very convenient to take on shore excursions. Wiping hands before eating or after using a bathroom that is less than sanitary. I don't go anywhere without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas321 Posted October 25, 2011 #15 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I live in Canada and cannot stress the importance of bug spray enough. Carry around a bottle of 'Off' and everyone will be her friend! Also a pair of lightweight gloves...one never knows what kind of weather you can get. It can snow at any time...July included!
