@lauraws, good for you to be going on a cruise! I hope you have tons of fun. When we cruise, I nebulize with the Pari Trek S and use my Aerobika twice a day and wash and air dry my equipment after each use; once a week, I sterilize using a 5-minute alcohol soak. For a two to three week trip, I bring a 2-3 ounce bottle of Dawn dishwashing detergent and two 16-ounce bottles of 70% isopropyl alcohol. You can use the ice bucket for a washbowl or even borrow a bowl from the kitchen (I tried a collapsible bowl but it was too shallow). I also bring my plastic LifeStraw 7-cup pitcher for clean water.

When you first meet your cabin steward, let him know you will have nebulizer parts laying on a desk or whatever and that they should not be disturbed. Also, most cruise ships do not allow you to boil water in your room - please respect this rule as it is for everyone's safety! While it would theoretically be easier to buy Dawn or isopropyl alcohol in port, they are not always available. We discovered (after many visits to many Boots) that isopropyl alcohol is simply not sold in Great Britain 🙂 Bon voyage!

Thanks, Toni! Appreciate all the great tips and information.

Hi Toni, I’m also curious about the Aerobika vs the acapella device. My doctor recommended the acapella. I’m seeing many people commenting about using the Aerobika and I’m wondering if I need that instead? Thanks for any information you can provide.
