What about the extension cord and duct tape? Anything else?

 

Yes, the Duct tape to fix your broken luggage after you get it back from the porters and the extension cord with a power strip so you can plug more things to it.

 

Bring a Black Sharpie pen also.

 

Imodium AD and Travel size Tide and Downy softener to wash.

 

Travel size Solarcaine spray.

Air Freshner for the Bathroom!

 

I enjoyed the bungee strap on my balcony door!

 

Small ice chest to keep a couple of waters, sodas, or etc. cold!

Whatever you do don't forget the cloths pins. This was one of the best tips we got. Go to walmart and buy a bag of cloths pins ($.97) for your shower curtain. Attach the clothes pins on the bottom of the shower curtain to keep from flooding the bathroom floor. The lip is not high enough in the shower to keep the water from getting on the floor when the shower curtain blows out. Unless you want a flooded floor everytime you take a shower, take the cloths pins.

 

Also buy a cheap plastic shoe rack that you can hang on the back of the bathroom door to store alot of things that normally clutter up the desktop and also the countertop in the bathroom.

Aloe vera "just in case" you burn a bit and a night light for those middle of the night treks to the "loo".

[caribbean dreams]

How about something for seasickness, I'm not prone to it but i take it just incase, ya never know when the seas will act up and you don't know how your stomach will react.

A mini first aid kit for little mishaps. You can get one at Walmart.

I've never needed them on the sensation, the liberty, or the miracle. Apparently I'm not doing the things in the shower some of you must be doing ;) lol lol lol lol !

These work well for a lot of people, but personally, I prefer medium or large-size black binder clips -- they work for the shower curtain, and are also big and strong enough to secure your towel to your lounge chair so it doesn't blow away -- a particular concern if you have a balcony.

 

:D

We ALWAYS bring our binoculars. It's so fun to watch from the ship. Also, the GPS, if you have one, is fun, too.

 

Clothes steamer.

How about that highlighter for marking off things that you want to do from the capers.

[nowornever]

wouldn't leave home without scissors - lots of uses, even if it's a "kiddie" one.

[sjohnson529]

My must haves are zip lock bags (you'd be surprised how much you use them), the over the door shoe thingy for the bathroom, money, and DH.

[Lwilliams]

This is a great idea! I'm packing 4 right now!

[Lwilliams]

Large binder clips that is!

[Lwilliams]

Decorations for the outside of your stateroom door!

A seldom used credit card or a library card to operate safe.

Koozies (foam beer can holders). They're not just for beer cans, they also hold soda cans and certain glassware. Great way to keep your drinks cold while on deck, wouldn't cruise w/o them.

[Leo Jay]

Hangers -- I find those built-in modular hangers inconvenient. :)

 

Antibacterial Wipes -- good for general cleanup.

 

Ziplock bags/Tinfoil (folded pre-cut sheets) -- good for storing room service food or specialty bar food you can't finish right away. Ziplocks also good to store your wet bathing suit in your bag if you change after the beach.

 

'Charmin To Go' -- some of the more rustic beaches and port locations are inadequately supplied.
