Things I wish I packed for my cruise
28
items I was in the middle of moving; ALL of our clothes except for a weeks worth of clothes were at the new house. Then there was the flood that blocked us in together in a separate town from our main belongings, my boyfriend couldn't get home, my roommate... A mixture of window shopping and what I would buy if I went again

California
We stayed in Anaheim. We went to Disney, ate some food, did the TMZ tour, saw the red carpet for the ESPYs, went to the medieval torture museum. Here are some things that I wish that I had brought with me for this trip. California is hot as hell by t...
I wish I brought more biker shorts and shorts in general - I'll show you more soon!
Oasis PureLuxe High-Waisted 6'' Short
These. In various colors
The One Short 3" - Women's
Absolutely love skorts. I only brought one, and I wish so desperately I owned more and packed more.
Woven Pocket Skirt With Built-In Short
Take my money; I needed you out there, baby
DICK'S Sporting Goods - Official Site - Every Season Starts at DICK'S
Vacationing in CA is like camping' bringing athletic wear because it's almost impossible to dress cute .. if you're not from an area with similar weather anyways.
YCTMALL Collapsible Water Bottles 500ml
I learned the coolest hack with a luggage set; use your small or medium for shoes and random stuff, so you can use it for dirty or clean clothes on the way back! Ocean water leaves your suits, clothes, everything smelling BAD - It's nice if you have ...
Coolife 3 Piece Hardshell Luggage Set
This is strictly good for when you don't want white cast (white cast is common for anyone with any skin tone darker than sunscreen-not just black people). It's completely clear!
BLACK GIRL SUNSCREEN SPF 30 - 2 Fl. Oz.
I put this on my face everyday and it has SPF in it. Otherwise I use the same thing but no SPF at night
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Moisturizer
I had everyone's money and phones at Disney and more
Large Waterproof Crossbody Fanny Pack - Blue
Portable charges that promptly charge electronics fully, and small enough to store in your bag, fanny pack, purse, and even pocket.
33800mAh USB C Power Bank with Cables
Cruise : Excursions
I was supposed to get off of the ship for all three ports in Mexico. I had gotten so hot, sunburnt, irritated, and had a raging eczema flair up starting. I did zip lining, a tequila distillery tour and tequila tasting, snorkeling, waterfall hike, dra...
The color, design, style. Yes.
Ace ‘em Pleated Skort - Rustic Olive
I needed these bad
DICK'S Sporting Goods - Official Site - Every Season Starts at DICK'S
This is the backpack I brought. I would recommend backpacks for cruises if you plan on getting off on excursions or a large fanny pack.
The North Face Women's Jester Backpack
I found myself wishing for even a drop of water multiple times. Bring your own water on excursions because then you're actually ensured water.
YCTMALL Collapsible Water Bottles 500ml
You need sunscreen daily regardless, but especially in Mexico. The sun is different down there. California sun was different, too
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Moisturizer
I was like “yeah I'm not wasting my money on those.” They're not ugly when you weigh out the benefits. You really don't know what's out there for germs or simply things to step on.
DLGJPA Women's Quick Dry Aqua Water Shoes
A large crossbody bag/fanny pack to carry around the things you do need, may need, and don't need but you have room for it. I carried around so much crap, with ease.
Large Waterproof Crossbody Fanny Pack - Blue
I needed it again on the excursion days because you drain your phone taking photos off of the boat, and then you get back on and your phone is dead. This is very unfortunate since on Carnival all of the menus for every restaurant was a scannable barc...
33800mAh USB C Power Bank with Cables
Cruise : Ship Lyfe
Remember; a cruise ship is literally like a city on the ocean. There's a casino, waterpark, shopping center, many restaurants, various pop up buffets, cabin rooms for thousands and thousands of people, gym, basketball court, spa, etc. You have themed...
These skorts are beautiful and purposeful with the pockets. I got soo many compliments all day when I wore my lilac one.
Crisscross Hourglass® Twirl Skort - Ruby
A one piece exclusively for going down the slides at the waterpark, and doing the go cart scooter above the ship. Just a trusting swimsuit.
Ocean One Piece | Ocean Blue Floral
You still need sunscreen!
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Moisturizer
You're going to need sandals that you can wear for long periods of time; the ships are huge! There's lots of walking in between decks, looking for food, going to meals, etc. Plus these match just about everything
CUSHIONAIRE Women's Lane Cork Footbed Sandal
A swimsuit cover because you do a lot of running back and forth between the outside and AC with the bathroom, food, leaving and coming back, if you came with a bigger group, etc. Sometimes it's too cold to wear your swimsuit in line for ten minutes w...
Blooming Jelly Women's Polka Dot Summer Dress
I wish I would have brought more dresses for the elegant nights; the people who didn't dress up said they felt left out and wished they read ahead.
Plus Floral Burnout Ruched Detail Skater Dress
I luckily traveled with cruise professionals that were all gold+ members, but you're going to want to buy a pack of these for a sail and sign card.
Luggage Tags for Cruise Ship Essentials
Here's a set that includes lanyards with it because you're going to need one of those as well.
Cruise Lanyards with ID Badge Holders, 6 Sets
If you're going on a cruise, look at the planned ahead nights to tell you what the themes are. Sometimes you really stick out like a sore thumb. It can be just as easy as typing the theme into amazon
Vabean 19 Pcs 80s Costume Set for Women
This passport travel holder also has the option of inserting an air tag in it to track it from your apple products, which I would highly recommend. Don't get stranded in another country. Every room also has a safe that you can set your own password t...
Leather RFID Passport Holder Travel Wallet
