sherry7 Posted September 19, 2007 #51 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Don't forget the birth control people!!! Very, very important!!! Lol, that reminds me of a Disney Cruise Line commercial from a couple of years ago. A woman, her young daughter, and baby are on an elevator. The little girl is telling someone all about their vacation last year on a Disney cruise ship, saying about all the fun she had. Then she points at the baby and says, "And this is my little brother. Mommy calls him our little souvinier." :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasha999 Posted September 19, 2007 #52 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Duct Tape :rolleyes: Absolutely! On our August 11, 2007 LOS cruise, the airline ripped one of our suitecases from Newark to Miami, and we bought duct tape as soon as we arrived! I always bring a large tote that folds flat in the suitcase, as I have more items comming home than going. Tasha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avidcruiser Posted September 19, 2007 #53 Share Posted September 19, 2007 The best thing I brought on our last cruise that I had never brought before was disposable bathroom cups for brushing teeth. Now I know I always have a clean cup! Also for the person who asked about a fan - we always bring a small fan that I bought at Walmart - I think it's O2 brand or something like that. It either plugs in or uses batteries. Love it! Also brought a power strip this time and I don't know how I lived without it before! Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzwed Posted September 27, 2007 #56 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Thanks for the great packing tips! There will be four of us in our cabin..DH and two teenage girls. I am looking for any tips that will help us stay organized/make more room in the cabin! I like the over the door shoe holder for toiletries, etc in the bathroom, but do I also need one in the closet for shoes? Also, someone mentioned bungee cords to keep balcony door open....does it not stay open, or this is just in case of a malfunction? I'd welcome any other room saving tips for three women and a man in one cabin! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugar*Magnolia Posted October 22, 2007 #59 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Just think of an alligators jaws or if you are a child of the 60's a roach clip. Im just seeing this post...LMAO!! *smiles* Great description..I think i got it now even tho I was first born in the 60s! Thanks a Bunch! Scrolling down I just reread about bungee cords to hold balcony door opened. DH and I have sailed numerous times (all sails actually) in balcony rooms..if you leave the door opened (RCCL ships anyway)- your air conditioning will stop, your ceiling will be dripping con densation into your room and onto your things.......NOT a good idea....
