  1. Are all the cabin doors on Rhapsody (RCCL) metal? I was just going to use some tape for easy removal but if it's magnetic, it is much easier. Anyone know if all cabin doors are metal?

     

    Oh here is a pic of a door that I found to be funny! I just googled funny door decorations and this picture came up of a harry door.

    Thanks,

  2. If I brought all of that I would not have room for clothes!! lol

     

     

    That's totally what I told my sister who is going as well. She was like...I think that is a little over accessive. However, some of the list is sensible because I think a lot of vacationers think "oh, if I forgot it I can just go buy it or ask the concierge for it" What if they don't have that because we are cruising, you know? LOL. So some of it makes sense, not all of it. LOL. Especially a shoe rack...that would be large to carry, no?

  3. Someone had posted a full list of this in another chat, maybe it will help everyone? I'll repost it here:

  4. Wow! I stumbled across this post by accident and am so happy I did! I didn't realize how much you don't get on a cruise becuase of the all in one pricing. You forget it's not like a resort where they will wait on you hand and foot with luxury.

     

    My first ever cruise is coming up in a few weeks and all your ideas and tip are very useful. I think I have to rethink this "fitting everything" in one bag idea. I thought I could, almost, but not I definitely need one more little one!

     

    Thanks for all your tips everyone! Does anyone know if RCCL has DVD players in their TV's?

     

    There are plugs on the ships, right? We'll need to charge up the camera and phones and all. Thx
