What unusual things do you take on a ship?

Chudley mentioned a crockpot and an iron. (I think she was kidding about the iron). I found a place to get a grill you can put on your balcony

Any other "suggestions"? No matter how far out you think it is, someone may "need" it! And if you think it should exist, and can't find it, I try to dig one up on the net.

You know MC I'm not sure we have ever taken anything unusual on a cruise..........but I do take enough medicines, over the counter stuff and everything that I could probably open my own pharmacy on the ship! LOL! Try and avoid the ships doctor and those costs at all cost.

Flannel jammie bottoms and a long sleeve top!! I'm cold at night!!

Last cruise, I took all sorts of extra stuff since we were not flying. I brought a rack that goes across a bath tub (for books, bubble bath, etc.) and a shower rack to hold extra toiletries. People in line thought I was weird (couldn't fit all that stuff in the luggage, so it was carry-on), but it all came in handy!

We stopped at Wal-Mart for all the things we forgot at home, and I saw the shower rack for 97 cents. Who says a dollar doesn't go far these days? We still use it!!!

My wife always takes something rather unusual with her on every cruise.


ME!!!

Here's a biggie......a HIGHLIGHTER!!! It comes in so handy when you are reading over the dailies and trying to decide what you want to do for the day. It really helps to highlight those itty-bitty lines so you can look at it quickly and not miss out on anything.

Also post it notes or tape and note pad to leave messages for family members.

And finally, decorations for a holiday/birthday cruise!

She must have her reasons.

Suitcases full of disposable diapers, spiral notebooks, hundreds of black ball point pens, early readers, wet wipes, emergency candles, pvc shelving, dawn dish soap, children's socks and underwear, toy model kits, children's cold medicines, chewable vitamin C, adult multi vitamins, raisins, rulers, and spanish/english dictionaries.


Best stuff I ever took!!!

CM! Did you forget anti-fungal creme!!??
