I also took clothespins and used them for wet bathing suits on the verandah chairs and it worked wonderfully! The popup hamper was handy as well for the dirty clothes to hang out in. I also got a night light from the $ store and plugged it in by the TV and it worked.

Downey Wrinkle Releaser!

I recently took a travel size tube of this to London, I didn't have to iron once. Love it!

Damn! That's a good one. I got tired of having to run down to the laundrette every night before dinner.

I've found a regular spray bottle filled with water tends to release wrinkles. I just hang up the garment, then go in the bathroom and spray the clothes down, smooth them out and hang in the closet. I usually do a day or 2 at a time and they dry in a few hours. No ironing and no need for anything but a spray bottle and some water. It just requires a little planning ahead.

I do this at home often too...spray and hang up in the bathroom and clothes is ready for work the next day!

Sweet!

These are great! I've made some notes for some things to add to our luggage! I appreciate you all sharing!

Peanut butter, for dd's oral desensitization maintenance for her peanut allergy. And a plastic spoon to eat it off of. Security doesn't like that either. It requires a doctor's note.

My personal scale to weigh myself in the privacy of my stateroom.

Ha! If my clothes are too tight, I eat less and dance more. If they are too loose, I eat more ....lol

 

[GreyStr0ke]

Our stateroom on the Dream had a scale in it. Do they all not have that?

I have not had one in any of my cruise staterooms. I am in the process of losing weight which is why I am packing it. If I had been closer to goal, then I would have left it at home and followed 3fish's line of weight management.

Hi,

I suggest packing a package of straws for the soda, coffee, tea and hot chocolate you may be drinking from the 24 hour drink station. (Yay, I love the thought of the 24 hour drink station). The reason I suggest bring straws is the straws the cruise line supplies are made from recycled material. The recycled material straws change the taste of the soda I want to enjoy. On our next cruise we are going to bring our own straws!

Even better... Just hang the rumpled item in the bathroom while you're taking a steamy shower. Bingo!

Another strange thing I HAVE to pack is a Christmas tree! Our last cruise was over Christmas. My DS was worried that Santa would forget about him and that our cabin would lack any Christmas spirit. It was a tiny tree, with tiny lights (battery operated) and tiny ornaments. We all loved it. Our next cruise is Christmas 2015 and our tiny tree will be in the suit case!

I bring one of those NASA pens which works even if you write upside down or in the rain just in case I need to write in awkward situations.

I also bring Lysol wipes to wipe down my stateroom when I first get in.

 

[bringmethathorizon]

our pillows.and now that it is finished her blanket ( the one in the picture ).we drive so no luggage weight problems.

 

[Michellynn]

Air freshener. 4 people and one bathroom, sometimes the room needs some help.

Yep...another great one. I pack something called Poo-pourri.....I HIGHLY recommend.

Regular Band-Aids and Blister Band-Aids. You never know when they'll be needed. Baseball hat (don't normally wear one, but need to protect my face from the Caribbean sun), extra batteries for the cameras, and extra memory cards for said cameras... (I bring a point and shoot and my "big" DSLR).
