It is lightweight, and is a good place to put your shoes to get them off the floor of the closet. I also store my evening bags, bathing suits and scarves in it. I also bring a Brita travel cup. With bottled water costing up to $3 a bottle, it saves a lot. Janice Scarano ID2120 - We love to travel with Holland America. The bar and wait staff are from the Philippines and the hotel staff are from Indonesia. I learned how to say 'thank you', 'good morning', and 'good evening' in both languages. The staff reaction was priceless, and the grins couldn't have been larger. Best yet, I got the most overfilled bar drinks, the freshest servings from the grill, and the most individual attention, to the amazement of many other passengers. It pays to be polite. Linda Seher ID341 - When packing for a cruise add extra metal coat hangers to your suitcase so that you will be able to hang much of your clothes. Also, purchase a child-size shoe hanger. I found one at the dollar store. You can hang this in the bathroom and put lots of little things in it such as toothpaste, hair brushes, mouthwash, etc. This will give you extra space in the bathroom as well as keeping things covered from the excess water which might come from the shower. Happy cruising. Pam T. ID329 - In addition to taking a bunch of wire hangers, I take 2 of the 3M removeable plastic hooks. They are useful in the bathroom and come off without leaving a mark. Linda ID1717 - I'm a travel consultant, and have been for 10 years. Over the years people have asked me, 'I get seasick; what is the best category for me?' Most people think the higher up you go the better, and I always had a hard time explaining it to them; but one day I was watching a storm come in and was looking at the trees - and that is how I got this idea. I now tell people a ship is like a tree. When the wind blows and the tree is moving, where is the most motion? - at the top of the tree. The lower part of the tree is hardly moving at all. This has worked very well for me, and I have never received a complaint yet!
