As stated...an insulated cup with a lid. The insulation is self explanatory. The lid is to keep the jacuzzi water out of your drink
That will make a TON more sense once you get there. Assuming the jacuzzi jets are working, it can bubble up pretty high. That is NOT water you want to drink!
I always bring a couple of plug strips...you know, the kind you can't bring on a cruise. We've been twice, and the first room plug layout was terrible. The second was better, but we still used both strips...one by the dressing/desk area where my wife did her makeup. The other buy the bed for phones, toy recharging, portable speaker recharging, etc.
Condoms, sunscreen, toiletries, etc. You do NOT want to have to buy those there ($$$$)!
You don't need a fan...the room has one. We hate a dead-quiet room, so we travel with a fan for ambient noise...not needed.
Last trip I kept all my wifes clothes on those shitty dry-cleaner wire hangers. Turned out to be a baller move as we absolutely needed them. I'm sure this means she just packed too much crap...but you'd need to be certifiable to make that criticism
It didn't add too much weight to luggage, and we just left them when we left. Probably could've asked our butler for more...this worked out for us.
My general clothing observation...women need less clothes, men need more. It's an oxymoron I know. My wife packed theme night outfits for each night and something slightly less sexy (but still sexy AF) for dinner. She brought bathing suit bottoms only, a couple of pool/beach wraps for moving around the resort during the day, and workout clothes (yes we are THOSE people
). Most of her clothes were quite skimpy, so didn't really take up much room. The men on the other hand are sort of expected to be a bit more dressy. I live in the northeast and will wear shorts in a snowstorm. At Pearl, I wore pants every night for dinner. I actually enjoyed it, as it sorta framed the days insanity (read: nudity) against getting dressed up a bit for dinner. It's not formal by any stretch, just pants and button down/nicer shirts. Then, there were all the theme night outfits. Yes I dressed up...and I think every guy that goes should too. First off, where else do you get to make a fool of yourself and NO ONE cares!! Second, it puts you in a good frame of mind...as if you couldn't be in one already. Third, I find it makes you more attractive...or maybe better stated more open/approachable...to other people. I think it makes you seem for fun and open.
The great equalizer to women need less and men need more is shoes. We basically bring a 3rd bag just for her shoes. Again, it's a non-negotiable subject for us (happy wife...)
Hope this helps!
