[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A pop-up hamper? Why can't you just ... shove your dirty clothes in a bag like you do on every other trip? [/quote]

I actually always bring a popup hamper on any trip that last more than a couple days - even if we're just taking carry-in.  It basically takes up no space and its to much bigger than the tiny plastic laundry bag you find in most hotels. I put it in the closet and every family member's dirty clothes gets thrown in.  It keeps the room more organized.  When we pack to go home we just dump it into a suitcase.  [/quote]

Same, but I bring a laundry bag.

Other random things that I bring that some might feel unnecessary are:

--Water bottles (like camelback, hydroflask type) to fill with soda or water so I don't have to use the small cups that DCL provides (it's all I've cruised lately)
--Metal straws b/c I hate the paper straws
--My favorite reusable iced coffee cup (could also just use a water bottle) b/c my absolute favorite part of my day is drinking an iced coffee, sitting on our verandah or on deck, while my kids are in the kids club. My cup keeps things cold longer and doesn't leak.
--Like others have mentioned: meds, especially some leftover zofran in case of stomach flu. 
--A mesh beach bag just for carrying stuff for kids and me down to pool deck (water bottle, sunscreen, room key, phone, etc.)
--my kids' swim goggles b/c inevitably they'll want goggles, and I'm not paying a million dollars on the ship or in port for a pair[/quote]
