Items to leave?

[hawkeyetlse]

It's actually the homeless people roaming the ship who pick up the used cups that are left out.

The ship is full of homeless people on disembarkation day ;)

We do have plenty of insulated glasses, however they are Tervis. What I'm bringing on the cruise aren't, bought the new ones on a closeout they appear to be of good quality, simply figure need to leave some stuff behind because of packing space. And we plan on using them up to the final morning for coffee.

 

Thanks for everyone's response,

Then I would just leave them on a table in your disembarkation lounge when they call your color. Maybe they will find a new home, maybe they will end up in a trash vortex in the middle of the ocean. Everything ends up there sooner or later anyway.

 

If you buy any small fragile trinkets it might be useful to hang on to one of the cups to transport them safely home.

I've got an old bed that I'm replacing. Seems a shame to throw it away. Do you think it would be ok to bring it with me and leave it for the cabin steward?

Why not donate them to HAL? They could use them as ashtrays on their balconies.

 

Posted in poor taste, senseless, childish and certainly uncalled for. OP was looking for constructive answers.

Donating to children at last port would be a great idea. Wish I had thought of that on our last cruise.

Donate them to you local homeless shelter or shelter for a bused and battered women.

 

This is the best idea, yet.

Oh, for crying out loud. Throw the used two dollar cups in the trash. The steward won't need therapy because of this. Everyone will be just fine.

 

LMAO.

 

Thank you!:)

I just love the way that people think that the room stewards do anything with the stuff that is left behind other than throw it away.

 

People it all goes in the trash.

When I leave the ship, I use the camper's motto of leaving everything as I found it. I don't leave hangers, shampoo, tumblers, etc. for the ship's crew to dispose of; just bring it back home. And I especially like the thought of donating to a battered woman's shelter.

up until now I thought everyone on CC was so nice. I guess I was wrong.

This person was just trying to be kind and all they got was nasty comments.

WRONG !! Really wrong !!!!

While not necessarily helpful, some of the responses were pretty funny.

 

I would just leave them.....and let the universe decide what happens to them.

[swedish weave]

If you have ever taken the "Behind the scenes tour" you would know how they handle the items that are no longer usable. They are either crushed, ground up and recycled, or burned.

 

Having said that, many items some of you consider trash can be a blessing for others who don't have the means to have everything new.

 

On my fishing trips to Mexico, I have left many items including used clothing, fishing gear, thermos bottles etc. These items were accepted graciously and put to good use. No embarassment or guilt.

 

Leave what you don't want to take home and it will be handled.

I would leave them... at home.

 

Drink coffee out of the same cups thousands of passengers drink out of each day.

 

I am always amazed at the things people say they pack.

 

For th first time, DW and I will attempt to do 2 days on a ship, plus 2 days land with one backpack each -- carry on only.

 

No tumblers required...

You can easily fit a weeks kit in a backpack unless it is a kiddies lunch box one.
