I am so totally new to this! A question - we've only ever sailed Royal Caribbean before, and, from what I understood, we couldn't bring on alcohol. Do I have to hide 25 bottles of booze in a tampon box?

there is another option to look into and that is boxing and mailing your gifts to the cruise line and the box can be waiting in your stateroom when you get there. just a thought that can be explored. I know people do it with pirate costumes and other large bulky items.

This is what we did...

We had 2 staterooms so we gave cups to everyone, buckets to the kids and an ornament to each family

so how did you get the wording on everything?

 

[aksearaven]

How do you propose to get a pop-up hamper into a FE pocket? and, since I don't do laundry on a cruise, I, personally, would have to throw out all the other stuff (except the clothes pins..... maybe. And would I want to pack the pop-up? doubtful.)
Great idea just curious...unless this is a different, much smaller, pop-up than I have ever seen.........

actually the one I took on our last 7 day cruise folded up small and flat and he a tie to keep it in place.. I think a laundry kit is a great gift!! Even if you don't use a pop up hamper a cheap nylon bag works great too.

I love laundry bag or pop up idea !!

I think we made some amazing FE gifts. We did one gift per cabin. View attachment 86070

We were lucky enough to receive one of these. Hands down our favorite gift. Sits on a table in our hall. We look at it and love it Every day.

One VERY nice idea to Share if you give tumblers, is "Make your Own Milkshakes". The DCL cups are too small, but now that the Dream class has added Sweet on You and Vanellope's, I'm terrified my DS will try to order many, Upcharged, milk shakes each day. He WILL be given a cup and told he can go get soft serve and milk and make his own. Also, for those worried about washing, I learned this tip and, if I give tumblers, will include. Before you travel, take a piece of paper towel. (The select-a-size ones work Great.) Place 1-2 drops of dish soap on the towel. Fold the paper towel over into a small square and place in a ziplock. Instant, pre-soaped, wash cloth. Very easy to use. SO wish I'd known this trick when we first sailed and my DS was 3 yo. You can leave the cups to air dry, and it just works so simply and easily!

Wait how are you making a milkshake without a blender

It's soft serve ice cream. If you have a cup with a lid you could just shake it.

Thanks for the dish soap idea. My cup from the drink of the day got so sticky I just stopped using it.

I made these for our last trip. Hand towel for each cabin and wash cloth for each person. I didn't receive any feedback. What do you guys think?

I did this with a sponge, cut it into 6 pieces, easy for daily cleaning.

Thank you. I really was so unsure. I had received a kitchen towel on our first cruise and every time I use it it makes me smile.

Something I would like, very nice!

Thank you. I will do something similar for the next cruise.
