Twocoasts Posted September 18, 2013 #76 Share Posted September 18, 2013 And TOILET PAPER too.:eek: Travel Charmin is for excursions--not on the ship. It definitely comes in handy. I've used it in Alaska (as a women leaving a rest stop said, "don't bother--no toilet paper," I was able to whip out my travel Charmin with a smile), Italy, and South America. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almagetty Posted September 18, 2013 #78 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Small bottles - Bulgari Thanks for the answer! And the bottles are replenished as they are used up?

JPR Posted September 19, 2013 #80 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Not sure if someone else mentioned this, but photocopies of your passports, including one in each suitcase for identification if luggage is lost and one in your carry on in case your passport is lost or stolen.

I'm just curious - has anyone here had any issues with a stolen passport? It would seem to me quite futile and pointless, but just wondering... We also print out a full contact list of how to get in touch with us with a schedule (skype/email/phone/ship/hotel/etc.) and leave that on our kitchen counter, in our bags, and also send it to my mom and DH's son. Between all of that, we should be covered sans apocalypse. :cool: Agree - passports don't need to be shared anymore than need be. I just saw a friend heading to China snap a pic of his boarding pass, passport and beer and post it to facebook!!! I let him know he was itching for trouble and he pulled it down. Call me crazy but I treat my passport ID like my SSN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda93 Posted September 30, 2013 #86 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Lots of great packing suggestions in this topic. Even if the light packers disregard them, the ideas are helpful for those newish to cruising or the folks who do check bags. I haven't seen a mention of cable ties yet - we've used these to replace damaged/lost suitcase zipper pulls, hold together a battery charger with a broken cover and to make a temporary loop handle for a camera. You can buy them at Home Depot or WalMart in various sizes. Duct tape can sometimes work but we find we've used cable ties more frequently. I usually toss some cable ties and smaller Ziploc bags inside a gallon bag. We also bring a few binder clips and manila envelopes to help wrangle all the ship paperwork we want to organize or bring home. Lastly - a wine stopper that is 'universal' - Metrokane brand makes one that screws on and can stopper Champagne as well as regular wine/port. We never need it for long :rolleyes: , but the stopper will keep the bubbles intact from one glass to the next.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always use them instead of locks in and out of North America. They don't protect your bags from theft, but they prevent them from opening accidentally and will at least alert you if the bag has been opened. Just remember to carry a nail clipper in an outside pocket so you can cut the ties off when needed. (Once my outside zipper pocket was opened and I lost my clippers--luckily my butler was able to find scissors to cut the darned things.) And binder clips and envelopes is a great idea!

ChatKat in Ca. Posted October 1, 2013 #91 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Some nail clippers have a metal file. I broke it off one since they also are useful for cuticle hang nails, loose threads, and knitting accessories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendy The Wanderer Posted October 1, 2013 #93 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Yeah, they allow clippers now. After 9/11 I went out and bought a pair with no file attached, but I still stowed in the zipper of my checked bag. Now I guess I don't have to do that.

Last time DH lost his article clipper as well. It's hard to imagine it could be used as a weapon, but if does have a sharp point so that you can cut out an article from the paper. And we have always been able to take bottled water bought once past security ... we lose the water we already have, of course. Correction: at the Istanbul airport last year we had to go through security a second time when going to the gate. And there they confiscated our water that had been bought in the airport. Howard gave them the almost exhausted bottle ... they didn't know about the fuller one. And we didn't tell. Mura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a shifty attitude like that, Madame, should you REALLY be trusted with nail-clippers ? I see this as a slippery slope, cigarettes taped to your thighs, opiates stashed under your face cream, scotch in your perfume bottles..... The one blessing is that Eydie Gorme didn't have to witness your downfall. Oh, and by the way, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mura Posted October 1, 2013 #100 Share Posted October 1, 2013 See, Jim, I claim innocence. I didn't know anything about it until Howard told me that he'd done. But I have to say that I did agree ... I WAS THIRSTY! These NSA guys (domestic and foreign) have stolen to many of my treasured treats ... jam, honey, hot sauce ... What they don't know won't hurt them. Snert.
