These are sooo needed! I use these on every single cruise I go on.
Cruise On: Cruise Luggage Tags
Need this for when you’re out and about OR if your room doesn’t have many accessible outlets.

These are absolutely necessary to bring, especially if you don’t know if you will get sea sick or not!

You’ll see people all over the ship with lanyards so they don’t lose their ship card. (I personally keep my ship card in my phone case, but that’s just me.)
