[balcony bound]

25' extension cord (for the many times mentioned DH's CPAP since many rooms don't have an outlet by the bed) Although the purser's desk will give you one for a $25 deposit, it is a pain to return

 

OTC for every imaginable ailment

walkie talkies

Red Bull

empty collapsable carry-on sized bag

 

I saw someone mention their favorite fragrance -- that is what keeps me out of the elevators and from attending formal nights -- immediate 12-hour headache from the purfume... sigh

[aussie down under]

Medications/first aid kit

Sunglasses

Bathers

Camera

Toiletries

 

Michele

If you are taking binoculars, please watch for the lady who says she always has her husband take a photo with her sitting on the railing of their balcony.

[GatorV]

i SHALL LOOK FOR HIM....I HAVE YET TO HAVE A FIND THOUGH I KEEP LOOKING....ITS GREAT TO WATCH PEOPLES FACES WHEN THEY ASK WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT:p

[CLAUDIA&JAY]

Cash/Credit Card

Power Strip

Laptop

Liquor

SEX :)

 

But not exactly in that order...lol

[miki2008]

I have yet to go on my first cruise and reading the things that everyone has put on their own top 5 list has been nice to read and start to put together my own list.

[CRUIZIN SUZAN]

1. cell phone charger (we use phone as alarm clock even if no signal!)

 

2. photcopies of all important docs in my checked luggage (in case of theft/loss from carryon-much easier to have replaced)-also leave a set home{including copies of your credit cards!!}

 

3. a REAL hair dryer (you know the ones onboard are wimpy!)

 

4. duct tape (STILL not reimbursed for damaged/ruined luggage on RCI 11/07)

 

5. booze (wrapped with bubble wrap inside a large zip loc bag inside a bigger zip loc bag and then a thin beach towel;towel great for balcony lounges)

 

BONUS- extra batteries for camera/walkie talkies/Ipod/gameboy/etc. Shipboard and resort port prices for batteries will make your hair fall out- hmmm- come to think of it- if my hair fell out-that would eliminate the need to pack a hairdryer, hence leaving more room for booze. Maybe I should leave the batteries at home!

[PersistenzaretiniKa]

1: high heel luxury shoes ( at least 6-8 pairs for a 10days cruise)

2: make up and fake lashes

3: parfumes

4: tailored evening dresses

5: jewels and costume jewelry

[dulcimergirl]

Don't leave home without 'em

1. My nicest manners

2. My best posture

3. Senses of adventure, humor, and gratitude

4. Extra smiles for people who have misplaced theirs

5. Wads of cash for everything else

Love the Worldwide phone card as gift idea. I'll have to get a few.

[Lawrence22]

1 big boat and 4 other things.

[burm]

Definitely I would take clothespins if cruising with Celebrity, which does not have laundromats. They do provide a clothesline across the shower stall, which was handy. I am sure that our room stewart got tired of seeing my underwear hanging to dry :)

[Guest Daimen]

I'm going to say .....

 

1. Camera

2. Batteries for Camera (Trust me, I ALWAYS forget!)

3. Hair Stuff (I have a preferred brand, and some how have to resort to some foreign malarky).

4. Mobile Phone

5. Handheld Game Console of some sort.
