For your Bag
Stateroom Helpers
Your cabin may be cozy, but with the right tools you can keep it organized and stress-free. These items help maximize space so you can focus on relaxing instead of digging through your luggage.
Great for hanging hats, lanyards, and towels (Most stateroom walls are magnetic)
DIYMAG Magnetic Hooks 30Lbs Heavy Duty 20 Pack
Since the walls in your stateroom are likely magnetic, this little hack keeps your toothbrushes up off the counter, organized, and out of the way—making the most of that small bathroom space.
Magnetic Toothbrush Holder for Cruise Ships
I always recommend packing a small nightlight! Cruise staterooms can get really dark, and a soft glow makes those middle-of-the-night bathroom trips (or checking on little ones) much easier without waking everyone up.
Artin-X 4 Pack Magnetic Motion Sensor Night Light
These hanging pocket organizers hook onto the fish-shaped nameplates outside your stateroom door, and families exchange small gifts throughout the sailing. It’s a fun way to meet other cruisers, spread a little pixie dust, and bring home sweet surpri...
2 Pack Fish Extender Hanger Cruise Organizer
These stretchy bands slip around your pool or beach chair to keep your towel from sliding down or blowing away in the ocean breeze—way easier (and cuter) than wrestling with clips all day.
Towel Bands 6-Pack, Durable, No Snap
hey fold up small, dry fast, and are perfect for port days at the beach or lounging by the pool—plus, they don’t stay soggy like regular towels.
Dock & Bay Quick Drying Towel - Set of 6, Large
For your Bag
Whether you’re exploring the ship or heading ashore for excursions, these little items make life on the go so much easier.
There’s a fun cruising tradition where guests hide decorated ducks around the ship for others to find. Kids (and adults!) love the little scavenger hunt, and it’s such a cute way to spread smiles and connect with fellow cruisers.
Assortment Rubber Duck Toy, 2", 25-Pack
I always recommend bringing a refillable water bottle! It’s a lifesaver for staying hydrated on deck or in port—and way easier (and cheaper) than constantly buying bottled water.
Stanley AeroLight 20oz Insulated Bottle
I always recommend packing reef safe sunscreen and aloe! Hours in the sun can sneak up on you, and aloe is the magic fix for when you forget that one extra reapply.
Sun Bum Original SPF 70 Body Spray Sunscreen
I always recommend a portable fan or cooling towel! Deck parties and hot port days feel so much better when you can cool down fast.
Aecooly Slim Portable Fan 2 Pack, USB Rechargeable
I always recommend keeping sanitizer and wipes handy! Between excursions, meals, and ship activities, you’ll want a quick clean-up option for sticky little hands (and grown-up ones too).
Touchland Power Mist Hand Sanitizer 5 Set
I always recommend bringing a wet bag! These reusable, waterproof bags are perfect for tossing in wet swimsuits or sandy clothes after a beach day—and they keep the rest of your bag dry and clean.
