This swimsuit is so comfortable! It looks and feel expensive, but isn’t. It’s high waisted enough that it offers decent coverage, but has the convenience of a 2 piece. The gold insert adds a little something extra. I’m 5’4, size 8-10 and a medium fit...

This set is so comfortable and cute. It can be used as a day set, as separate pieces or as a swim cover up. It comes in so many different colors and is super flattering on many body types. I am 5' 4, 145 lbs and a medium fits me great.

These 2 piece sets are dressy enough for exploring a port and comfortable enough for a sea day. The crop is not too short and the pants are high-waisted, so it doesn't show too much skin, and the fabric is breathable and lightweight for hot weather.

The less drowsy formula does a great job of controlling motion sickness while still letting you go about your day. I always recommend bringing something onboard for seasickness and this is always in ny bag!

A multi-port charger is so helpful when you're on a cruise. There are not very many outlets in cruise staterooms, so having a multi-port charger will allow multipe devices to be charged at a time.

When you get on a cruise, you'll be given a key card for your room and for your onboard purchases. Having a lanyard is a great way to keep the card close by so you don't lose it and so it's always ready when you need it.

Many cruise ships have magnetic walls, so you can pack magnetic hooks and use them to hang things like hats, cover ups, jackets and more. Using magnetic hooks on your cruise can save you space in limited storage space you'll find in a cruise ship.

A reusable water bottle is essential for your cruise! Have it on hand to make sure you stay hydrated on your vacation. I love Owalla because it can easily fit into many bags and does a great job of not spilling.

Sunscreen is essential when you're cruising to the Caribbean! I love SunBum and it's been my favorite for years.

If you're bringing a water bottle on the ship, it can be hard to make sure it gets cleaned each night. These bottle bright tablets are a great way to refresh your water bottle after use each night from the comfort of your stateroom.

If you're anything like me, you're probably taking way too many pictures on your cruise. Skip the extra cords required for a standard portable charger and use a Magsafe magnetic power bank instead! These are super handy during your cruise when you ne...

When you're sailing on a cruise, you don't want to overpack. So if you love to read, a kindle can save a lot of space in your luggage. Just download your books before you set sail and enjoy reading at sea!

You should always decorate your cruise door when you can! This not only adds a little extra whimsy to your stateroom but it will also help you find your door in the ling line of stateroom doors in the hallways.
