We are officially jealous if you're lucky enough to be cruising away from colder temperatures this winter! Our crew loves a good cruise and the amazing sites you can see while sailing in the sunshine. To ensure smooth sailing, we have put together a warm-weather cruise packing list to help you avoid common pitfalls and fully prepare for life at sea. Bon voyage!
1.Tiny Twinkle Wet Bags
After a day of touring and swimming, you need to keep messes contained and your belongings dry! Made from premium, waterproof fabric, these bags are perfect for storing wet swimsuits or small essentials like snacks or toiletries. The bags have a secure zippered closure to lock in moisture and odors, while the lightweight yet durable material makes them easy to carry anywhere. The bags also include a convenient snap handle, allowing you to attach them to a backpack for hands-free convenience easily. There are many colors/designs to choose from!
2. Bagsmart Hanging Water Resistant Toiletry Bag
This bag is a game-changer for keeping your toiletries neat and accessible in small cabin bathrooms. With multiple compartments, it provides lots of storage space and protects the water-resistant material against spills. The built-in hook allows you to hang it on a towel rack or door, saving precious counter space and keeping everything within reach. Compact, durable, and stylish, this toiletry bag helps streamline your packing and ensures you’re always cruise-ready, even in the tiniest of cabins.
3. AiRunTech Waterproof Fanny Pack
It's essential to keep your valuables safe and dry during any cruise adventure. This bag has a triple seal to protect against water, dust, and sand. The bag is lightweight, comfortable, and has an adjustable strap that fits securely around your waist or across your chest. It's the perfect functional accessory to hold phones, passports, room keys, and more.
4. EmeTerm Motion Sickness Rechargeable Wrist Band
As moms of kids with sensitive "sea tummies," this is an amazing solution. It uses gentle electrical pulses on your wrist to reduce nausea and dizziness. The size is adjustable, and it's rechargeable and waterproof. Plus, it's drug-free, so the kiddos are good to go! Multiple color options too!
5. Supergoop Translucent Powder Sunscreen SPF 35
Being out in the sunshine requires great sunscreen. This is an absolute must in our bag. It's a light, soft, matte powder perfect for all skin types. It makes reapplying sunscreen easy and even helps with shine. No more messy cream that gets sticky to apply on damp skin.
6.Simplicity Sunhat With Strap
It is inevitable to have some breezy moments on a cruise. Whether watching the sea from the deck, sunning at the pool, or taking the shuttle to shore, you want to keep your face protected without your hat blowing away! This adorable hat is packable/foldable and very comfortable. The PU leather chin strap is adjustable and has a wide brim (but not so wide that you can't wear it anywhere). Multiple colors to choose from!
7.Pelican Marine Waterproof Floating Phone Pouch
This is essential for any cruise traveler who loves capturing memories without risking their device. This durable case is waterproof to protect your phone from splashes, rain, or accidental drops into the ocean or pool. Its floating design ensures your phone stays visible and retrievable, while the transparent, touch-sensitive material lets you use your device for photos, videos, and text without removing it. Perfect for worry-free water adventures on your cruise.
8. Retractable Travel Clothesline
A retractable clothesline is one of those small, clever items that makes a big difference on a cruise. With limited cabin space and expensive onboard laundry services, having a portable clothesline lets you quickly dry swimsuits, towels, or hand-washed clothes. It’s lightweight, compact, and easy to attach to your cabin’s bathroom or balcony without damaging surfaces. We love how we can pack lighter while having fresh clothes ready for every adventure. It’s the perfect way to organize your cabin and your wardrobe cruise-ready!
9. Cruise Luggage Tag Holders
Cruise luggage tag holders are a simple yet invaluable tool for ensuring your bags arrive safely at your cabin - you don't want to learn this the hard way! These durable, waterproof holders protect your tags from tears, smudges, and moisture during boarding. With sturdy loops to securely attach them to your bags, they eliminate the hassle of taping or stapling paper tags. They’re a must-have for hassle-free embarkation and a stress-free start to your cruise adventure.
10. Towel Bands
Bye bye, towel clips! For years, beach-goers, cruise passengers, and back-yard loungers have used clips to prevent wind from blowing away their towels. These towel bands are EVEN BETTER. These convenient bands are a great travel hack to keep your beach towel secure and sand-free. The stretchy bands wrap around chairs of all sizes to keep your towel in place. They pack flat (less bulky than clips) and the variety of colors helps you see your chair in a "sea" of loungers. Lightweight and easy to use, they prevent bunching and slipping, so you can relax in comfort. Perfect for the beach, pool, or outdoor lounging!
11. Reuseable Shopping Tote Bags
Be prepared to shop during those on-shore excursions. These small, packable bags are perfect to take with you, are washable, and are even waterproof. The bag holds up to 22lbs - that's many souvenirs. There are lots of colors and patterns to pick from.
12. Diymag Magnetic Hooks for Cruise Cabins
These magnetic hooks are a must-have for cruise travelers looking to maximize cabin space. These easily attach to most cruise cabins' metal walls and ceilings, creating instant hanging solutions for jackets, hats, bags, and even lightweight decorations. They have a sleek design and help keep your space organized and clutter-free so you can focus on enjoying your vacation.
Enjoy the recos. Cruise well friends!
