By CruiseDirector | November 8, 2009
Looking for some nifty things on what to bring on a cruise? Going on a cruise trip is something that a lot of people are really looking forward to. You should be ready and prepare some of the vital things you need to take but in this post we will take a look at a different list of what to bring on a cruise.
Clear Plastic Door Bag – You can leave it hanging over the outside of your bathroom door. You can find one of this at Walmart. The key is to get the transparent plastic ones so you can see through them and can quickly find your small stuff. You can also bring a variety of quart and gallon sized ziploc bags.
Duct Tape – Duct tapes aren’t only used to stick things. You can also use them to mark your luggage, for patching up your stuff and more cleverly for using it as a lint remover.
Air Freshener – When you go in your bathroom after the ship just disembarked, you won’t have any idea what kind of unsanitary events happened inside. Also bring lysol and some wipes for the knobs. Remember that people were staying in your cabin just hours before you got on board.
Small Lines and Clothespins – Suites can be messy whenever you have wet clothes all over the tub and shower. You can just hang them low so you can still get a good view. You can buy them at the fishing section at Walmart.
Ionic Breeze – If you’re going on a cruise with someone who is sensitive to recycled air, then an ionic breeze will be good for them. This will give them with instant fresh air and relieve some of their sinus problems.
Portable Flashlight – If you’re going to get a small cabin then having a handy flashlight will help you get more around easily and will help you avoid falling over someone.
Phone Cards – These are wonderful gifts to cruise staff. Most of the cruise employees are from other countries and sometimes it is very hard for them to spend their hard-earned money just to call home. It’s a perfect idea as a little tip for a special service.
Candy Bars – When you give your gratuities, try wrapping your dollars around candy bars when giving gratuity to your stewards, waiters, assistants, and other crew employees. It’s really wonderful to see their smiles when they receive this extraordinary gift.
There are a lot of things that you can pack like a bungee cord for the balcony door, notepads, a power strip, an extension cord, a first aid kit, etc. These are some of the nifty stuff on what to bring on a cruise ship and I hope that this post will spark some more ideas from you.
