Rare Eddie99 Posted May 8, 2021 #1 Share Posted May 8, 2021 There must be lots of duplication. I like to take my hair dryer because it’s so much more powerful & therefore more efficient and quicker. Also an Aeropress coffee maker for the cabin, and tea bags. Sometimes Ginger Nuts What do you take? Biscuits? Slippers? Soap? Pillow? Hangers? Marmalade? Surprise me!

We took sweets and snacks for the kids and all our clothes were already packed on the hangers. Made unpacking easy. I also took slippers. I don’t get the in the pleb cabin obviously 🙄 will be taking ginger biscuits for sea sickness and also my pillow. I slept on my hoody for two night last time as I have really thin pillows. Theirs were too thick for me. Will also take our own coffee this time for drinks on the balcony now that I am willing to drink coffee at a ripe old age of 32. Used to have areopress but found cafe direct coffee I like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Eddie99 Posted May 8, 2021 Author #13 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Interesting but nothing extraordinary yet. I’ll wait for the angle grinder .. oh, no P&O don’t provide them do they? Just Saga 🤣 Pillows are a bit of an encumbrance. Hooray for no luggage limits on ex Southampton cruises. There must be an opening for a technological solution to pillow preference - new lightweight materials, inflation, maybe? Go ahead & design it - I don’t have IP on this idea - but seriously, imagine how much simpler life would be for hotel chains etc if they only needed one adjustable pillow model. Me, I sleep on a Tempur. Hard as a rock and nearly as heavy. I don’t lug it on cruises though, as the motion of the ocean keeps me sleeping like a baby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An oxo drink or soup whilst nibbling a cracker is great if you are feeling queasy in bad seas. Like that table cloth Graham, will have to remember that ourselves - may have to go and buy one though..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdey16 Posted May 8, 2021 #18 Share Posted May 8, 2021 The worst thing I ever took or waste of money was toilet liners to put on toilets seats when out on tours but we don’t normally need the toilet when out , but if we did I always forget them 😂😂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Anarchy Posted May 8, 2021 #19 Share Posted May 8, 2021 I take my own shampoo, but that's because it's prescription stuff. Next year we've got 2 cruises which are both 30+ nights. Seriously considering taking our little Krups coffee machine now. I take my own hair clippers. Haven't paid for a haircut for over 20 years, certainly not going to pay onboard prices! Graham's table cloth sounds a great idea as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplesea Posted May 8, 2021 #24 Share Posted May 8, 2021 I always have some sort of biscuits/cereal bars. Normally need them on the journey home as catering on the trains leaves a lot to be desired!

The magnets are great for putting paperwork under, plus coats etc, we generally take four. love the idea of the table cloth this will be added to our list. All have a good weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
