An interesting tool that may or may not include everything you need. Since I tend to overpack, I'd need to add a few things from the list.

Is "crockpot" an option?

I was wondering about my Hibachi grill for those romantic dinners on the balcony...

I have a shoebox that I keep packed with all our cruising gadgets. When it comes time to pack all I have to do is throw the box in the suitcase.
The box contains stuff like quarters for laundry soap, a multi-plug adapter (instead of the oft-recommended power strip -- it takes up less space in the suitcase), a deck of cards, a couple of sample packets of laundry soap, a travel-size umbrella, spare tags to put on bags and other valuables (e.g., cameras), a highlighter for the cruise daily, my camera's instruction manual  , a rain poncho, Post-Its, rubber bands, a travel clock, my Diamonds International card , a throw-away wallet for taking ashore, sewing kit, ear buds for use in the gym, envelopes for final night thank-you notes to staff, cruise card lanyard, lanyard for carrying a water bottle, magnets for posting signs and notes on our cabin door, and my evening bag.
Sorry, no duct tape -- never had a use for it. I took one of those over-the-door organizers on our second cruise since it was so highly recommended on the DS and never took it out of the package. I've not found a use for it subsequently, either. I might have to throw in a bungy cord this time, though. Definitely could have used it on the last cruise when our balcony door wouldn't stay open or closed, even when locked.
