DoreenD Posted September 15, 2004 #26 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Just bought mine for 5.99 at Target. We have three in an inside room so we can use all of the "organizational tools" that we can get! Our last cruise was last Christmas on the Grandeur and our room was a disaster area. Looking forward to this Christmas on the Golden. . .and not "losing" all of our stuff in our room. Less than 3 months left to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanool Posted September 15, 2004 #27 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Exactly how many pairs of shoes are you taking on the cruise? I find that flip-flops store well on the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eboon Posted September 15, 2004 Author #28 Share Posted September 15, 2004 bryanool, because the ship's cabins are so small, people take these shoe organizers with them to use for holding misc. items. not just for shoes cuz that would be a ton!! (maybe someone with a shoe fetish!). -erica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoreenD Posted September 17, 2004 #30 Share Posted September 17, 2004 bryanool, I have a 17 year old daughter that HAS to have shoes for every outfit. She is a master at packing, but they can pile up in the room!:D We DO, plan to use it to keep stuff organized like cameras, jewelry, cruise cards, sunscreen, etc. All those things that you were SURE that you put on the counter, but can't seem to find!

Luckyroot Posted September 17, 2004 #31 Share Posted September 17, 2004 We brought an over the door shoe organizer with us on our first cruise.......never took it out of the bag. As we were packing to leave I said to myself, Okay, thats something that won't go with us on our next cruise. But then as I continued packing, I realized......"Oh, here's that camera. My Mascara, wondered where that had gotten to!" You get the picture. Our desk was always a mess........if I'd taken the shoe organizer out and put it to use, our cabin would have been MUCH less cluttered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotheyes Posted September 22, 2004 #32 Share Posted September 22, 2004 We had trouble finding a shoe bag. Only thing our dollar store had was a childrens size and everything falls out because the pockets are so shallow. We were parking the car one evening and I spotted my husbands tool apron (which he does not use) and it is perfect has 4 big pockets 3 medium and 1 large pocket. It is not see thru but I made notes and stuck them on so we know whats in the pockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mconthehighseas Posted September 22, 2004 #33 Share Posted September 22, 2004 I haven't found one at a dollar store either, so I have bought the $6 one at WalMart. Not a bad price - but yours is much better! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judyellen Posted October 19, 2004 #34 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Pam, I was looking for a shoe organizer today and just saw your message and ordered one; thanks a million! Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyn2005 Posted October 19, 2004 #35 Share Posted October 19, 2004 I got a wonderful gift a few years ago. I guess it is actually a makeup bag but has 3 sections which fold over top of each other then is tied with matching fabric ties. It has clear plastic sections of different sizes with zippers so you can put in makeup etc. I use it for medications, safety pins, hairspray, toothpaste, first aid items etc. It has a a hanger at one end so that you can open it up and hang it in a closet or on the back of a door so I think I'll use that if I can't find a shoe organizer.

Lyn2005 Posted October 20, 2004 #36 Share Posted October 20, 2004 I found the over the door organizer at the dollar store! Actually I think I'll take it instead of my other bag, it takes up less room. The pockets on it are really neat! Hard to believe what you find for only $1.00!

Snieman5 Posted October 22, 2004 #37 Share Posted October 22, 2004 I Like The Kids Size Because You Can Use It For Cameras, Change, Medicine,sun Screen,all The Little Items That You Want To Grab And Go With Either On A Shore Trip Or Just Hanging Out On Deck. The Dollar Store Is The Place To Go. I Have Used Mine On The Last 3 Cruises And It Is Still Good. The Kids Size Are Heavier Plastic Than The Adult Ones.

Lyn2005 Posted October 23, 2004 #38 Share Posted October 23, 2004 I got the best stainless steel insultated mugs with nice heavy rounded handles on them for $1.00. With lids too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzisme Posted November 28, 2004 #39 Share Posted November 28, 2004 I have looked all over and never been able to locate a shoe organizer at any dollar type store. Yes, I know they are at Walmart, Target, etc. anyways, 6 cruises later, personally I do not feel that I need an organizer as it appears we have been lucky with our cabins and there appears to be lots of storage space etc. DH and I both have toiletry type bags for our personal stuff--his has a hook so he can hang his from a towel bar etc. Mine fits the medicine cabinet. On the other hand, taking one with you and hanging it in the closet for your camera, purse, etc.--yes, it does help with neatness. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWA4Ever Posted November 29, 2004 #40 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Over the door shoe bags - one of the great boons to mankind (ranks right up there with fire and the wheel!)! Found out about this tip before our last cruise and it was really a terrific spacesaver - would not cruise again without one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mconthehighseas Posted December 3, 2004 #41 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Dollar General Stores have a bag for $2 to organize toiletries. It can be hung inside your shower curtain, using the same hooks as the curtain, or can hang from the pipe to the shower head. We are taking one of those along with the "shoe" organizer. There will be NO excuse to lose anything. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
