[mjmalino]

from actual posts seen on this board...

 

 

- razor scooters for the kids, to keep them entertained

 

 

I razor scooter??!! I travel with 2 kids as well. I can't see me letting my 2 DS ride around the ship on their scooters! :eek:

 

Sorry.

Don't forget to pack your padded seat cushions for your lounge chairs since they have removed the flammable materials from the balconies. You might as well be comfortable when you're on the balcony.

 

Forget the case of beer - just pack a keg.

 

As for the Nintendo or Playstations - there were teenagers on a cruise a couple of years ago that did bring a suitcase packed with their game console, wireless controllers, and plenty of games. Just in case there weren't a lot of kids in the teen center to hang out with.

The shoe holder for the back of your cabin door

[cruzinchris]

Tucks. Don't leave home without them ;) .

[Tinwoman]

I always like to bring a goat with me when I travel :D His name is Hank.

 

:eek:

[sunhoney64]

You all are forgetting something........RESERVED signs for the lounge chairs!!!

[Georji]

I'm bringing my dog.

 

Don't forget the pooper scooper!

[Georji]

Ooooh, also bringing IV bag so that I dont have to get up from the lounge chair to get a drink. :p

 

If you're going to do this then don't forget bring your cathedar (sp?) so you don't have to get up to pee!

[deppong]

dont forget shoes!!

[Clutterlady]

Don't forget the blow-up doll to save a lounger by the pool, and I guess you can use it on those nights when your significant other had too many foo foo drinks:D

[cruzzers]

Don't forget the suction cup soap holder for the shower. Have you ever tried to bend over and pick up the soap off the shower floor?!

[sea++]

Chocolate! Lot's of chocolate. :rolleyes:

[malden]

Scissors (for removing tags, opening shrink-wrapped packages, etc)

 

Power Strip (for recharging your cell phone, so you'll always know what time it is).

[cynt]

This is hilarious...I remember my first cruise and all the "must haves" that I packed. Boy was I mad when I didn't even use 25% of all that junk that I purchased and brought on board. Talk about wasted space.

 

Looking back I still can't believe I packed all that junk. ROTFLOL!!!

[mamatrouble]

DH says he can't go without his fishing pole and net so he can fish off of the balcony.....:p

[qiangf2]

 

6) Coffee pot and 2 lbs of coffee

 

Don't forget the bring the matching coffee mugs (his and hers)! This is very important.

Well, since we first started this thread, We have now cancelled our flight tickets....

 

I have rented a U-Haul Truck and I "Think" we should be able to get everything packed for this weekends cruise.

 

We will need to leave earlier since we will be driving from Va.

 

We have also had to up grade our standard balcony to the owners suite. The captain has told us that he has some extra room for overflow if needed. He said the goat and dog were

"iffy" as to getting on the ship, but if they have passports, they should be OK. They plan to meet us with a forklift for embarkation and work around loading the food and supplies.

 

We have also up graded to a standard size pool since we have room on the truck. The captain said it will take a while to fill, but, as long as he can take a dip, who cares.

 

We told him we would leave the recliner for him after the cruise. He was very appreciative......I think this made the goat and dog OK

 

It's been fun seeing some of the things people bring that may be funny to us, but, obviously important to others.

 

Happy sailing (and packing) to all.........

[texswamper]

Please don't let this thread die! I haven't laughed this hard in years!

 

Keep up the good work, some of you should go to Hollywood to fill in for all the writers on strike!

Gosh, I was double checking my list today in preparation for a Thursday departure, and a week long cruise to the Mex Riv.

We were going to fly to San Diego, but with the baggage restrictions, we are going to have to pay a fortune for excess baggage. Luckily, we have located an inflatable recliner, and the necessary inflatable persons to save our poolside loungers, but the balconies on the Dawn are too darn small for a pool, let alone loungers. :D

Now, we just have to pack carefully so none of the 25 pairs of shoes pierces the inflatables, and our ketchup, wine, Jack Daniels, and chocolate are not damaged in transit, causing irreparable harm to all our evening attire!:eek:

Have to run out and get some reserved signs made! And more tape to keep them in place......:o

Has anyone mentioned sticky notes so that you can leave instructions for your cabin steward? Also, you'll want a fistful of notecards so that you can say "thank you" to all the crew members who were at your beck and call. Then there's the $300 in dollar bills to tip everyone who smiles at you.

[sunhoney64]

Does anyone know if they make the masks you wear for allergies that are tan thru? You know, like the bathing suits you can tan thru. I think I am going to wear them during the cruise since the last cruise I was on was had the Norwalk on it. You all may want to pack some too. I am hoping I will still tan thru them while at the pool. Otherwise, I guess I will look like an Orangutan when the week is up. OOOOH, and if anyone knows where I can find some colored ones to match my formal wear.

 

[annmarz]

1. Portable ashtray so I can smoke wherever I want.

 

2. Plywood boards to place under mattress. Allergy mattress and pillow covers.

 

3. Decorations for my cabin door.

 

4. Scuba tanks.

 

5. Brita water filter pitcher.

Don't forget the special flag or decoration to hang from your balcony, so you can spot your room from the port.

And a plastic back scratcher.:cool:
