    I take a cloth fold-up shoe organizer that hangs in the closet. I use it for day clothes organizer. I put my shorts, tops, undies in the cubbies. There's still space for hanging up long evening clothes.

    Great suggestions. Few of my own. Id suggest a motion sensor magnetic light. Used it on our Disney Cruise and it was awesome! Also, Magnetic dry erase board vs the sticky notes. Its fun putting it on your door and receiving little notes throughout the day. Saves you all the paper too!

    Two things I wish I would have brought with me. If you have not had that time of the month before your cruise or maybe even if you have had it, just to be safe, please please bring enough pads, tampons with you to cover your whole entire period. It is to stressful, expensive, and humiliating to have your period come on early and you worried about finding something to cover you. Making posts on fb groups, getting little bitty pads from guest services, and paying an arm and a leg from the highway robbery shop for little pads that you have to double or triple up on due to having a heavy flow. So once again please make room in your luggage for a whole period worth of pads, tampons, etc
    Also if you are someone that runs hot and you sweat. Especially if you sweat from the top of your head and it just flow down making you look crazy. Please bring papertowels or maybe even a towel to carry with you while out. The ship especially in the elevators with groups of people and the main floors are hot. Maybe my ship was just old but it felt there was no AC in those areas. I know I seen youtubers talk about how cold it is and bring a jacket. It was the opposite for me and it seem like papertowels were not easy to find. I looked crazy for the first two days on top of being embarrassed. Also bring a portal fan, USB powered for the side of your bed.
