Things I got for my 7 Day Cruise!🚢

Here are things I decided to purchase for my 7 day cruise. This was my first cruise and let me just say: I am ready to book my next😭

THE ESSENTIALS

luggage tags (Amazon) - I bought a pack of 6 and shared them with my friends. The alternative to these clear luggage tags is stapling / taping your tag to the handle of your suitcase. I would have been scared that it would have just ripped off, so I’m really glad I bought these!

Towel clips (Amazon) - it gets really windy so these really rocked. I used them to clip my towel & tote bag to my chair.

Mini portable fan (Amazon) - this thing is awesome and I honestly can’t believe I hadn’t already bought this with how much I travel! It’s so compact and works very well for its size. I use it mostly for noise but it’s a really good fan for how small it is!! (Seriously one of the best things I’ve ever purchased).

Magnetic hooks (Amazon) - loved these. The rooms on the boat are all magnetic, so I put these everywhere and hung things like my fan, tote bag, swim suits, hats…

Power strip (Amazon) - there are very limited outlets, so this was a definite must have!

Face wash (Sephora) - my fiancé broke the bottle of my old travel size so I had to get a new one, lol

THE WANTS

Sol de Janeiro travel kit (Sephora) - I’m a sucker for travel sized things.. so naturally I bought this. They also say to use the bag it comes with as a bag for your wet bikinis, which I absolutely love!

BEIS water bottle sling (BEIS online store) - this was not necessary for the cruise, but I’d been wanting it forever so I decided what better time to buy it than vacation time 🤩

Yellow dress (target) - just a cute lil dress for dinner. I loveee it!

White dress (Hollister) - another cute lil dress for dinner, and I loveee this one too!

Bikini (kulani kinis) - I am so obsessed with this bikini. I really want to buy some more styles but I just cannot afford that rn😂

I do not regret any of these purchases, everything was perfecttttt for this cruise!! I had so much fun and I’m already looking to book one for next year☀️

... Read morePlanning your first cruise can be exciting yet overwhelming. It's important to pack wisely to enjoy your journey to the fullest. Some essential items for any cruise include clear luggage tags to easily identify your bags, as well as towel clips to secure your belongings from the wind. You wouldn't want your towel flying away on deck! A mini portable fan can enhance your comfort, especially on warm days, proving especially useful for white noise and cooling down. Moreover, magnetic hooks can be a game-changer in cabin spaces, enabling you to maximize storage and keep your items organized. Don't forget a reliable power strip; with limited outlets, it's essential for charging all your devices. Facial care is crucial, too, so having travel-size essentials can help keep your skin refreshed. For a delightful touch, consider packing some travel-sized beauty products like the Sol de Janeiro travel kit for a tropical scent. Additionally, a stylish yellow or white dress can make perfect dinner attire, adding fun to your cruise nights. Lastly, choose swimwear that makes you feel fabulous, like a trendy bikini, ensuring you're ready for sunbathing or swimming during the day. With these items in tow, you'll be set for an unforgettable cruise experience!
