Comforts of home

[desiree741]

Does anyone bring anything on their cruise from home that’s not a traditional travel item? I know Some brings fans but I am really going back and forth about my pillow.  My pillow is a very squishy foam type pillow that I I’m afraid I won’t sleep well without. I’m  not flying, and I have room in my suit case but figure it’s kind of weird... 🤷🏻‍♀️🤔

I bring my stuffed elephant that I always sleep with.

I have seen plenty of people carrying pillows when they check-in, so you won’t be the only one.  Besides, there’s little more that’s as important as a good night’s sleep.  I say, “Take your pillow.” 

[Essiesmom]

I have a travel size My Pillow that I travel with.  I use it to prop myself on but if I can't get hypoallergenic pillows, I will use it.  EM

Since our next cruise is leaving from a nearby port I'm bringing my cozy nap time blanket, so I understand the pillow!

[E@syPe@zy]

I always bring my sleep number pillow.  So if it's weird....then I'll be weird...but comfortable!

I'm 62 and started traveling by planes when I was 14. Yep ... a long ass time !  😁  I always bring my pillow (THE pillow I sleep with at home every night ---always been a flat feather type). Since hitting my late 40's I added a fan and soft eye blinders.

We always travel with our "My Pillow" brand pillows with their travel compact bags.   I always bring my red pillow cases so the hotel/cabin staff can see they are NOT their pillows.

Yes, take the thing.

It'll be more comfy than a stuffed elephant 

 

Bear in mind Bob's comment - make sure your cabin steward is aware that it's yours so that the cover doesn't go in the general wash & end up in someone else's cabin.

If you aren't flying I don't see any reason not to. A pillow can make a huge difference. My last long trip was to Japan and they must simply have a different pillow preference than in America; but at every hotel the pillows were horrible. It really did make it hard to sleep. They were so hard and had weird lumps in them.

Plenty of people fly with their pillow.  I see it all the time.

 

I have a My Pillow at home that I love.  But, personally, I would not, and do not, carry my pillow with me when traveling.  I can't think of but one or two times that the pillow caused issues.

My wife brings me.

I have a buckwheat husk neck pillow that has changed my life. It seems really decadent with my usual militant packing light self, but between holiday gifts and snorkel gear we're pretty far from that anyway...

I set mine on ocean and with the gentle roll of the ship I sleep like a baby.

Doesn't look very comfortable

I'd prefer to rest my head on a pillow.

Or even a stuffed elephant

My sister sleeps with a peanut shaped pillow (Tempur pedic) and takes it everywhere.  She once left it in a hotel on a trip and had to get another one.  So a couple Christmases ago I ordered a second one, and made about 8 brightly printed pillow cases for it.  Now, when she isn't traveling, the second pillow stays in her backpack, ready for the next trip.

I often bring my pillow, just to hotels though. I haven't brought it on a cruise though because I am afraid I will loose it.

[GUT2407]

When I had a pillow I loved took it everywhere, once left it in the hotel so did a 600km each way trip to recover it.

lol  😄 this and a couple of martini's and I can sleep upright.

[Bookish Angel]

I take my 100% cotton blanket, my pillow in a old Garfield pillow case, Peguine, my small pink bear and my total blackout eye shade. 

[Aplmac]

More people travel with a personal pillow than you know about!
You are NOT alone in this! Take the danged thing.

[desiree741]

I am so excited to see so you “weird” people! Hallelujah! Lol
