5 things you couldnt cruise without

[Nightengale31]

My 5 essentials:

 

1. Tempur-Pedic travel mattress topper and pilow - expensive but

for me worth it's weight in gold as I have a bad back.

2. Kindle with charger cord - another great invention for those who

can read a number of books while cruising but hate to lug them

all.

3. Small tube of Fixadent in case I pop a veneer or crown which I

have done while traveling.

4. Scissors

5. A written list of all my credit card numbers and their customer

service phone numbers which comes in handy if you have to

cancel immediately if they get lost. Also passport, driver's

license, and health and dental insurance numbers go on this list.

I see alot of posts said they bring sodas, wine and spirits. I thought you weren't allowed to bring these items on board?

[mrskhodak]

1. Powerstrip
   
2. Air freshener
   
3. battery chargers / power cords
   
4. antacids / 'special' green tea bags ;) / Tylenol
   
5. laptop
   

[LaWeezy]

You are allowed non alcohol bev on most cruise lines and pay a $15 corking fee for wine - or more depending on the size of the bottles.

 

What I can't figure out are these people who bring their own sheets, beds, toppers for the beds - I mean I have 3 bags going now for DH and I, with none of these things. Although I do have a quite a few of the small things mentioned - I am going to use them - even if I don't need to - just to justify bringing them to my DH :rolleyes:

Yes, the spray launderers use to aid in the disruption of wrinkles. Also can be used to increase the crease.
