It seems there are a lot of posters on our forum who like to cruise, so I am going to post these tips by Victoria Holt, and the Internet article (posted last year) doesn’t say who she is with. However, she quotes her sources as cruisediva.com, cruisecritic.com, and budgettravel.com. Hope you find this helpful!
Make the most of your next cruise vacation with these cheap and easy tips:

Thanks, I love cruising, for ME it is the best bang for my limited funds.

Love cruising (it's so easy). One tip I'll add: DH and I have business cards made just for travelling. We include address, phone #s, email and use a background that viewers can associate with us (we love in the mountains, so our background picture reflects this). We use these as luggage tags, for exchanging info with passengers, vendors, people we meet when out and about, etc.

DH & I cruise fairly often and the best tips I ever got were to bring a highlighter, extension cord, and some clothespins.
The highlighter helps us to find the activities we want to attend each day after looking at the offerings in the daily newsletter.
Clothespins come in handy as most ships have a retractable line in the shower, but never any pins.

Cool tips. We are cruising in 12 days for our first cruise in 25 years. We need all the tips we can get! These are good ones!

@World Traveler
This is a great travel list! Thanks for posting!
DUCT Tape goes everywhere and should be considered a basic take along item. <G>
DH and his Mom really appreciated the white plastic hangers and clothespins I tossed into the suitcase during their 2week River Cruise last July.
I will add when you add these extra items to your room remember to pack them up when you leave! I put a small night light into an outlet in a hotel room bathroom and left it behind by mistake. easy to do but a relatively cheap oops.
I just bought a small black FAN by HoneyWell with multiple speeds to use in rooms when on a car trip or cruise. This fan is round, about 8inches across on an adjustable base. I like a fan for air movement and white noise. The last Westin we were at were all out when I requested one so it must be a popular option.?? This one is small but does the job.
Keep Calm and Travel On,
CAT
