Don't take on a cruise....

[Canuker]

With tongue in cheek, what are some of the things that should not be taken on a cruise?

Here's one or two to get the list started:

1. Bathroom weigh scales

2. Food!

3. Your GP.

Your camouflage wardrobe.

If cruising with your wife do not take your girlfriend.

There was a service Shih Tzu on Carnival last week.

Pasted, with editing, from another post: 

 

Old books for reserving lounge chairs.  

Bags of candy in case I get hungry during the four hours food isn't available.  

Home made doilies with pictures of my pets for gifts to crew.  

Little Fluffy's support dog vest that I bought on eBay.  

And of course, old T-shirts that I've retrieved after Mrs Ldubs mistakenly put them in the rag bin.

Bluetooth speaker to play your music on the balcony.  No one else want to hear your music.

Pictures of your family to give to staff in lieu of tips.

Both your spouse and the person you are cheating on them with. It’s one or the other.

Why people pack food to take on a cruise is beyond my comprehension.  Wine?  Yes.  But, be prepared to pay a corkage charge.

Those infernal walkie talkies that don't work unless in line of sight.

We bring protein bars (or similar) to carry during island stops.  In the heat and after walking distances, we occasionally have blood sugar drops that need to be treated immediately, and we don't always know where to find food on islands. 

 

As for what not to bring: 

- Excessive luggage 

- Tight clothes 

- Cigarettes for the balcony 

- Children whom they don't intend to supervise

The clothes weren't tight when I boarded!  😄

🙄My eye roll needs to be more dramatic than this. Did the Shih Tzu also come with his stroller?

[sanger727]

I disagree about the food suggestion. We also take pre-packaged snacks on the cruise for evening snacking after the buffet is closed and taking off in ports. Virtually nothing on the ship is pre-packaged in a way that they can be taken as a snack into port. I'm happy to each lunch in port, but when on a shore excursion you are on their timeline and that doesn't always match up with your appetite.

At least 50 percent of what you were planning to bring.
