Good small games for a cruise?

Title pretty much says it all- going on a cruise, would like some small game ideas for 2-4 people. Tiny board games, card games, etc.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Uh, Battleship is pretty fun and relatively compact. 2 people only, though.
Ticket to Ride and Carcasonne would be good for 2-4.
Kill Dr. Lucky is brilliant, but aperantly difficult to find.

Quiddler
Citadels
Munchkin

You turn over a card with five dice represented on it. For instance, one of the "harder" cards we saw was five 5's. Everyone has money chips, and you bid on the right to try for the card. For our example, you may have three rolls to get all 5's, and if you do you get $1200 (every card has a different roll limit and payout). So your first roll, you roll 2 5's and other numbers. You put the 2 5's on the card, and try again with the three dice. If you end up winning, you take the reward. If you don't, you lose the money you bet, and players start bidding again to play the half completed card.
Theres a little more betting involved, but I figured that was confusing enough to get started.
Uno
Guillotine
Euchre
Hearts
Golf
Rummy

I don't believe it - I'm on my THIRD PS3, and my FIRST XBOX360. What the heck?
I'd kill to play a good round of Settlers in the middle of the ocean with the sun poring down. But that's just me.
I'd suggest Citadels (which you're already bringing,) Settlers Dice/Settlers Travel, Pandemic (best game of 2008 IMHO,) and maybe Scattegories (if you're into language.)
Euchre. Play it. It's a very fun game.
Yep, that's why I listed it first. I've had some of the most enjoyable times playing Euchre with friends.

Coincidentally, the Bang! cards have all the suites and values to make a full deck of cards, so if you bring Bang! then you won't need an additional deck. One of the best parts about Bang is that it's one of the few games that gets better when you add more people. I wouldn't play it with less than 4 people, though.
It's a quick game, generally too.
Unfortunately, most of the games I think of that come in smaller boxes are card games.
Race for the Galaxy is a good small boxed card game.
I also remember the box for Puerto Rico being small in terms of board game boxes and is a fun game as well. It's a economic/victory point/grow game.
The idea isn't to sit in our cabin, the idea is to sit in public areas with the other cuople going and have something we can invite people to play. Plus it's an 11 day cruise in Alaska. I'm sure there will be some down time.
Thanks for all the ideas
