I just got back from an Alaskan cruise in early September 2026. Here are the things I actually used & wore! Fun fact: You probably don't need to go buy a lot of stuff for your cruise. Use the pieces you have, only buy what you need!

Clothes
I loved the color & thickness. Not too heavy or thin. It layered well over my fleece jacket.
Avoogue Women's Waterproof Rain Jacket with Hood
I like these for flights better than the full compression sock. Comes in different sizes too, great option for wide calves.
Calf Compression Sleeves, Footless Socks
Great item to keep shoes clean and water resistant. I don’t believe it kept them fully waterproof, but for light rain it worked well.
Crep Protect Shoe Protector Spray - Waterproof
$10 soft layering piece! Wore it more than once.
Scenario Women's and Women's Plus Rib Tee with Long Sleeves, Sizes XS-4X
These were great alone but also could layer under jeans or other pants. Great price as well.
Free Country Women's 2-Pack Faux Fur Lined Legging
This vest layered well with all my tops. I really like it with a hoodie.
Columbia Women's Benton Springs Vest
Cruising Specifics
These magnets held my jackets, purse, damp and suit from the pool. I also use these to help with cable/cord management!
Magnetic Hooks
Light, and packs down. This fits what you need for shore excursions!
G4Free 20L Lightweight Packable Backpack
These hold your medallion & slide on to your Apple Watch bands. These removed the need to a lanyard.
4 Pack Princess Ocean Watch Adapters Holder
These were a great option I purchased for my parents to use on the cruise.
2 Packs Princess Cruise Medallion Nylon Sport Band
