Stateroom Must Haves
What to wear for your Alaskan Cruise
Stateroom Must Haves
We asked our stateroom attendant for a kettle as soon as we boarded the cruise, so we were able to make our coffee first thing without waiting on someone to bring us coffee/ having to leave our room to find some. There are many brands of drip coffees...
Copper Cow Coffee Premium Pour Over Vietnamese Coffee Pouches (25 pack)
I love this travel mug. It does great for hot or cold drinks and it is truly spill proof! Great addition to your stateroom for your morning coffee out on the balcony.
SmoothSip Slider
These came in super handy in our room. I know they are mentioned in a lot of different lists, but I would definitely bring them with you!
Neosmuk 80lb+ Heavy Duty Magnetic Hooks
Your room might come with binoculars but it was wonderful to have our own! Invest in a good pair if you don't have one already. I love my nikon.
Nikon PROSTAFF P3 10x42 Waterproof Binocular
I really enjoyed having my slippers to wear out on the balcony! Kept my feet warm.
RockDove Women's Teddy Fleece Closed Back Slipper
Bring your own tea from home and request a kettle as soon as you board the boat. I enjoyed having this tea at night as we watched the sunset from the balcony!
Rishi Tea Valerian Dream Organic Tea Bags
Always great to have!
SinkSuds Travel Size Laundry Detergent 8 Pack
Great if you plan on washing anything in your stateroom! Easy to pop up on your balcony.
Retractable Portable Travel Clothesline Camping
It was great to have two of these. We didn't have a working plug near the bed, so we would use this at night and charge it during the day. We would take another one on the excursions with us.
Portable Charger Power Bank w/ Cables & AC Plug
What to wear for your Alaskan Cruise
A cute shoe that is comfortable is a must when on an alaskan cruise. You might be walking around the ship or out in the town while at a port. Highly recommend these shoes.
City Walk Sneaker
Favorite travel purse. It fits so much inside of it plus packs up small.
BAGGU Medium Nylon Crescent Bag
A lot of fun colors and always great to put in your purse just in case you buy anything in town!
BAGGU Patterned Standard Reusable Tote Bag
A daypack was great to have for excursions or just walking around town!
Osprey Daylite 13L Backpack
Never hurt to have a poncho! Packs light and was great to have for the chance of rain.
Hitituto Extra Long Rain Ponchos with Hood
I really used these a lot. For excursions are for going to view the glacier from the top deck of the boat!
Rechargeable Hand Warmers 2 Pack, 20Hrs
For any excursions or if its just a cold day! I love my danners.
