I certainly took home stationery, daily planners (and back in the day, menus signed by our waiter, maitre d’ and busboy - they were dated, so wouldn’t be used again), the do not disturb sign, an ashtray (yes, I have been cruising that long! And I have never smoked! My Dad loved it though). I bought my tote bag (years ago) on Princess Cruises and it’s still going strong, though it only comes out for special occasions these days! And my best ‘take away’ was the officer who later became my husband - and after 37 years, we’re still going strong! And I’m sure the cruise line wouldn’t mind you taking the umbrella! Happy cruising!❤️🛳️⚓️❤️

That’s a good idea! I’m going on my first Holland America cruise in December. Maybe I can bring a couple of towels to see if my dad’s and my room attendants can make a towel animal for me. I’m obsessed with towel animals!

I'm 6'2" with size 12 feet. I have been on cruises that had slippers and robes in the closet, but have never even tried them on. I am also diabetic, so when I'm solo and chocolates are left for me by the steward, I bag them and bring them home for the missus. I do collect pens and have a Holland America tote. I was raised to try to reduce vendor costs and waste. Meaning I may be entitled to something, but if I don't really need it, I don't want it.

@@HariSeldon913 Yes it is difficult. Carbohydrates are cheaper than protein so there are carbs everywhere. In restaurants I tell the server I'm diabetic, and ask to replace the potato or rice with extra vegetables, and there are usually plenty of protein and veg choices available at the buffet so I never go hungry. It's not perfect. Not all vegetables are ok for diabetics and can be hard to avoid. I find it extremely difficult to not eat whatever's in front of me.

My grandparents used to cruise sometimes twice per year since the 60s. My grandmother would collect the bar soaps back when they were on every ship… she had so many old brands like Premier, Sitmar, Dolphin…. It was so nostalgic. When they passed, I ended up keeping them! 😊

I love my cruise daily planners! I like to look over them and remember the fun vacation.

Omg... laughed! I did a cruise about 7 years ago NCL with about 10 couples. I travel solo but do have friends. Two couples in adjoining rooms came up the grand plan of taking the Robes. We arent talking the thin ones, NO Haven Suite thick comfy you love them robes. They were more than upset at me for organizing the trip, the travel agent for not explaining possible additional charges and NCL. Blame everyone except your thieving selves. Why not take the big screen TV as well. NCL hit them for $400 PER robe initially but dropped it $300 for both. Sad part, they are lifetime banned now and the robes are about $70 at Nordstrom and other retailers

Hi Ilana….great video….. I was so glad I kept all the memorabilia such as daily planners to help me organize my pictures initially when I got home from a cruise. My first cruise was on Princess in 1979 and of course I organized everything in a nice big photo album. Having moved many times since then, my cruise albums were boxed up and awkward to pull out when I wanted to reminisce. So……lately…..big challenge…..I have been pulling each album out of boxes and just take a photo of each page for my photo app on my iPad. Thank goodness I was very detailed by putting the daily planners in front of each days photos of ports of calls, dinners, people I cruised with, etc., so there was no more organizing except to open a new shared album and add photos to it so all my cruises are there for me to view whenever I want. I’ve been doing that with all my old photo albums. I still kept the hard copy phot albums boxed up, but seriously who wants them? My kids have their own memories so they really don’t want my “stuff”. I still have a Princess shoe shiner and ashtray from that old cruise that I took from cabin…..😮

I always bring home the daily planners for my scrapbook!

I like the tote bags because they make it easier to take things home.

Love your videos!! Turn down service and chocolates on your pillow at night are the benefits I truly miss from cruising back in the 90s. We just don't get that service anymore on RCCL or CCL. Confession: I have mistakenly taken home a washcloth and even a towel once. Thing was, I did not feel bad about it given its condition of frayed edges and an ugly stain. I do take the tissue boxes because I am a teacher, and any teacher will understand this. I love the compact boxes. My husband accidentally took home wooden hangers, but we did just return them the next cruise. And I took home a book from the ship library that I was enjoying but had not finished. My family still has not let me live that down, but I knew I was cruising again soon and did return it along with 6 more book donations on my next cruise. We always carry home the bottles of wine we are given because we aren't big drinkers. Every now and then we will leave a bottle of wine for the cabin steward. We just returned from a cruise and discovered that someone decided to take home one of our magnet cruise door signs on the last day. Sheesh! But, if you order room decor to celebrate a special occasion, you are allowed to take that with you. The magnet decor is pretty cool and can easily be used on a future cruise if you remember to take it. Dollar Tree Tip: They often sell birthday magnet sets that are a great addition to a birthday cruise door (or wall if it's CCL). 🚢🎉 🛳

A great way to remember what you did on the cruise, especially as I journal after I return from the cruise. Great to hear someone else does the same things I do. Kindred Spirits!

Great info!! I will be a 1st time cruiser in April

Just got back from Celebrity Reflection in Concierge class. No tote bag in the room and was told my multiple sources that now you have to ask for them! When we called Concierge twice no one answered or returned our recorded message. No one would want to take their towels and robes home because they were awful….very thin and the robes were sized for giants! Their web site said the ship was refurbished in 2023 but all we saw was new carpet in the dining room. Room had old decor and worn furniture with stains!

Great information.

I understand why you cover all of the big ships. But I would much prefer a much smaller ship. Can you give me and others like some info on smaller ships? Or do you know another blogger who covers smaller ships? Thanks!

We collect pillow chocolates from HA and leave them on pillows in guest rooms. Guests really love them and the novelty of getting them.

Thank you, Ilana!

I have zero desire to go on a cruise, but I subscribed b/c you do a great job!

The chocolate that we got on the Canadian Empress didn't make it home, but the daily planner, the "Em Press", did. It was a nice reminder of the cruise down the Ottawa River and up the St. Lawrence River. I can definitely see hubby keeping our Holland America planners this summer. And I'm sure we'll come home with mugs, etc. from the gift shop for us, our sons and their families.

Never been on a cruise. It's a great list!

I once brought a hanger from a cruise that, upon unpacking at home, I suspected wasn't one of ours - it was a "regular" hanger (not one of those with the small hooks at the top that won't fit a regular rod) but it just didn't look familiar. So I did exactly what you mentioned - on our next cruise (which was only a few weeks later) I returned that hanger. So maybe now it's on a different ship, but at least the cruise line isn't short 1 hanger in their inventory... but if it actually was ours I suppose they now have 1 extra! As for rain gear, we always pack 1 travel umbrella per guest when we cruise. Thus far we haven't had to use them (in nearly 50 cruises) but we have access to them if ever the need arises. But then again, I am probably the model overpacker!

It's still very nice & I love brining it on all my cruises.

Laundry bag from Disney cruise line - asked our host first about how much I would be charged - best $10 ever!

Agreed with your list of the “Can’s” I even asked the steward if I could have an extra little hand lotion from Princess. But on my last cruise in October 2023 I didn’t see the small ones. Thanks for your awesome videos 🛳️🛳️🛳️⚓️❤️😊

I take home the daily schedule and use them in a scrapbook along with photos and my journal entries.

I've always brought home the day planners from our cruises with the activities that we enjoyed, I marked with a highlighter. Then they are put into a binder and have enjoyed reliving the experiences while reading though them.

I always bring home my planners. Helps me when I do my scrapbooking later to chronically post. Always took chocolates honestly for my husband who does not cruise. I did take a towel home but asked the crew member if I could and I was willing to pay the charge. It was the last sailing of that particular ship before being g sold and the ship name was on it. I was never charged.

The red blanket from the Virgin cruise......I took it home to wash it. =)

Waiter on Princess made an adorable duck with a cloth napkin. I brought it home and enjoying looking at it but intend to bring it back next month.

Like you, I collect the chocolates then take them home. I collected the charms for the jewel holder (necklace) from Celebrity, a nice souvenir, also very pretty to wear..

I used to save the daily planners but I never looked at them so I got rid of them all. I DO save all the pillow chocolates (my husband’s also) and I eat one every day after I get home. I never take the slippers. They are WAY too big! I will leave magazines in the library that I have brought onboard.

The Effy necklace on Celebrity was awesome! Each day I went to the Effy store and was able to add a charm to go inside ... all free! On Holland America, I received a charm bracelet with one free charm to add the next day. All other charms were $5. However, I love my bracelet with the sailing charms dangling on my wrist. So fun!

Chocolate disappears in DH happy mouth each evening! Having been a full time business traveler I learned to travel with my own shampoo/conditioner and bar soap - no surprises with ship products.

My hubby isn't able to travel anymore, so I do collect our room chocolates to bring back for him! 😉

Well we always sail on Royal Caribbean and we stay in a jr. Suite all the time. The only time we had slippers in our suite is when we bought them. I've never had any type of alcohol either unless I bought it prior to the sailing. Just once there was wine I the stateroom that belonged to someone else. So apparently we were not lucky. But video was very informative

I think I did bring home the mini toiletries from a cruise, & plastic glasses from The Drink Of the Day which was probably part of the cost of the drink. I don't think I ever took anything else from a cruise. I treated things in the room like you do at a hotel & you don't take just anything you want home with you. I would assume that anything you wore like the slippers that maybe could not be washed they wanted you to take. It would be nice to have a cabin steward who would make your bed or have the turn down service. That always makes me feel so specal to return to your cabin & your bed is turned down, there is an animal & chocolates. I haven't cruised since the gratuities could be paid upfront, so maybe back then the steward knew good service provided them good tips. My late hubby & I always took plenty of cash to pay gratuities & paid well for good service which we always received. Those people work hard & I appreciated having a maid, a cook, a waiter & personal attention while on the cruise. We traveled in a group with family & several friends once & we were supposed to have a large table for meals, but it was not available, so they set up a table just for us sort of on the side & we had our own waiter. We found out about him & his family & he was gracious & gave us extra good service. We all gave him an extra $50 for the week on top of the normal suggested tip.

As for the nice warm cozy outdoor blanket. It followed me off a transatlantic sailing last year. I started using it early in the voyage and it became a second blanket in my stateroom that I used any time I was cold for the two week trip. By the end of our journey, I knew it needed to be a permanent staple at my home. Most cruisers pick up a blanket, use it for a few hours, and drop it in the bin for cleaning or allow the staff to remove it from the outside furniture. I decided to make it my full itinerary blanket.
