lborne Posted September 18, 2006 #1 Share Posted September 18, 2006 We are trying to pack as light and as little as possible, and I've read various threads, but no where could I find a list of everything that is included in your cabin. When we were on the PG in 2003, there was shampoo, conditioner, lotion, bubble bath, bath soap, face glycerin soap, oatmeal soap, cotton balls and q-tips. Will we find all this on the Navigator? What about sewing kits, shoe polish, umbrella? Anything else I'm forgetting? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traveller333 Posted September 18, 2006 #2 Share Posted September 18, 2006 No reason for shoe polish as you can set your shoes out at night and they're waiting by your door the next morning all polished. Umbrellas are also supplied. Have never needed sewing kit but I don't remember seeing them. The only extra things I normally bring is some CD's if I want to listen to music (CD in cabin) and a travel size clock for our nightstand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserPK Posted September 18, 2006 #3 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I am fairly certain you could get sewing stuff at the reception desk. On our Voyager cruise in June we had a birthday celebration/cocktail hour in our cabin. They provided balloons and ribbon to make the room festive. Enjoy your cruise.

Jim B Posted September 18, 2006 #4 Share Posted September 18, 2006 We like to bring a night light and plug it in the bathroom so you don't have to turn the bright lights on when you have to get up during the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lborne Posted September 18, 2006 Author #5 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I never heard of the CD player and never saw it on any cabin photos. I thought we only had a VCR. I know this is asking much, but is the CD player part of a whole system? Can I bring my very small MP3 palyer and hook it into the system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainSailors Posted September 18, 2006 #6 Share Posted September 18, 2006 On our last Seven Seas Mariner cruise, Tahiti, April 18 - May 8, our category H cabin had a DVD player which plays through the single speaker of the television. On our South American cruise in January-February I am bringing an inexpensive battery-powered CD player with headphones along with many opera CDs that I don't ordinarily have the time to listen to. The upper category suites may have component stereos with CD players and external inputs. Call Regent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoAnne B Posted September 19, 2006 #7 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Personally, I don't like the heavily scented toilettries. I know it's a nice brand, but if you are sensitive to perfumed products, you may want to bring your own. I recall one time I popped a button and had to buy a sewing kit in the gift shop. Now I tuck a needle and thread in the cosmetic case. On the other hand I sent a new recently purchased top to have the sleeves shortened and was surprised that it cost less than my tailor at home. I also bring an immersion heater and coffee press. Life is too short to start the day with bitter coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrpingtonT Posted September 19, 2006 #8 Share Posted September 19, 2006 There was a small sewing kit in our suite on Mariner on our recent alaskan cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought to have clothes altered on a ship..never really needed to....infact I didn't even know they did that... oh the info we get:D at CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChatKat in Ca. Posted September 19, 2006 #10 Share Posted September 19, 2006 The prices for the tailor are on the Laundry slip and are quite reasonable. How is the quality of the work? Everytime I shop before I travel and then I have my seamstress rush to shorten things I think that I should just send them out onboard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrvlcruiser Posted September 19, 2006 #11 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Fil - the tailor who is on the Voyager and was on RVL before that - is terrific. he's been doing this for 25 years. I can't speak for anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhp Posted September 19, 2006 #12 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I've used the ship's tailor several times, and have always been pleased with both the work and the pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy The Wanderer Posted September 20, 2006 #13 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Wow, that means that if I ever was lucky enough to go on a long cruise, I could have my clothes let out half way through the trip! rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoAnne B Posted September 21, 2006 #15 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Very good!!!! It never would have occurred to me to rely on the ship's tailor, but I grabbed a new dressy top out of the closet and forgot that the sleeves were waaaaay too long. It took two days, but the quality was excellent. I always forget something in the rush of packing. Usually no big deal. But the time I headed for Madeira and left behind the mobile phone bag containing not only the phone but the Madeira house keys as well....now that was a challenge. I admire people who pack a week ahead. I'm a hopelessly last minute (and I do mean last minute) packer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhp Posted September 21, 2006 #16 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Joanne, first time I used them we had lost luggage and had to buy some clothes. Now, if I come one with new ones that need altering for a night later in the cruise, it is easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
