I was attemtping to post pics from flikr... is there a trick to it?

We just got off the Star Princess this morning and one of the things I know we could have used ws a bottle opener. You can buy a bucket with five beers in it but we didnt have an opener.

Im in the process of writing some notes down to post later on the first time cruiser threads. This was our first cruise and I learned alot!

We didnt use the shoe holder, we didnt bring one and there was tons of storage in the room to store stuff. but everyone is different.

im not so worried about bug repellant.... im bringing some of those hand warmers for my warm weather relatives coming along to Alaska.They are around $1 a pair... and last 8 hours or so. I use them at work.

I am a newbie here but have read a few threads that state ideas for staff gifts. It has been mentioned that the crew has no room for things/gifts. Cash is what they can all use. A nice note with a tip seems to be the going gift. some people give them a candy bar wrapped in $, or a post card with a nice note. Its debatable about the idea of phone cards.
