Cruise Ship Essentials

An absolute game changer on cruises—these little lifesavers stick to the metal walls and give you extra space to hang hats, bags, swimsuits, or tomorrow’s outfit. Trust me, everything sticks... and you'll wonder how you ever cruised without them. 

 Skip the stapler and the stress—plastic luggage tag holders are a must for cruise travel. Just slide in your printed tag, zip it shut, and you’re good to go. No rips, no tears, and no chasing your luggage info down the pier. 

 No more fighting over outlets or juggling a mess of cords—an approved charging block lets you power up multiple devices at once, all from one spot. This one cruise-compliant -no surge protectors and no attached cord. 

A must-have for anyone that sleeps hot. I need to have airflow in our room at night. This keeps us cool, sticks to the walls and keeps going all night. Just recharge it during the day while out.

We loves to use these magnetic, rechargeable night lights in the bathroom on our cruse. The cabins get DARK at night, but the bathroom lights are BRIGHT. Save your eyes, and everyone else sleeping in your cabin, with these. 

Whether your bring your own water bottle, or have a refillable cup from the cruise line, this bag makes it easy to carry around your bottle, phone, and sea pass/room key card all in one place. 

There is nothing worse than trying to keep your towel in place on the wide open cruise ship deck or watching it fly away while you go get a beverage. These bands keep them attached to the chair. 

 Call me crazy, but I love decorating our cruise cabin door! Not only is it fun and festive, but it also makes it so much easier to find your room after wandering those identical, endless hallways. Bonus: other travelers have thanked me because our door became their “home base”—they knew exactly how many doors they were from ours! 

This mug is a must-pack! Slim, easy to carry, and perfect for those early mornings exploring the ship. Trust me, the tiny buffet cups won’t last you more than a few steps on the deck—but this one keeps your coffee hot and allows you to explore more.

A must-have for most Caribbean destinations, reef-safe sunscreen protects your skin and the ocean. Many popular spots require it to help preserve marine life and coral reefs—so you can enjoy paradise responsibly (and avoid getting turned away at the beach!).  This one is lightweight, dries quickly - it does smell like coconut (which I love, but not everyone does). 

We've only had one day cursing where the seas were rough. This worked quickly for and made me less drowsy than Dramamine.

Always double check for any other drug interactions before using.

 I love this refillable first aid kit because it’s easy to restock and travel-friendly. Bandaids and Neosporin are our most-used essentials—whether for minor scrapes or unexpected mishaps. I’ve shared it more times than I can count with fellow cruisers, and everyone’s always grateful to have one on hand.
