Cruise Life Hacks!
20
items I LOVE to Cruise! I just got back from my 8th cruise- my second this year alone! So I've figured out some great hacks for Cruise Ship Living! Here's what I recommend to make life a little easier!
I love affordable organization- and I used this exact set on my most recent cruise. There's a hanging bar in the closet that fit my nice dinner clothes plus this organizer so I was able to keep things neat and find them quickly. I then put the shoe o...
Mainstays 5pcs Closet Set Organizer, Soft Silver
Cruise cabins have metal walls. So I always bring magnetic hooks to hang my hats and bags, as well as baskets of jewelry or sunglasses! Such a great use of empty wall space- and it adds some fun character to your room! Also- save yourself from that n...
Magnetic Hooks
I always missed out on snorkeling because I hated to have something in my mouth. This made all the difference in the world for me. It allowed me to enjoy seeing the fish and coral and all without having anything in my mouth! It has a floating stopper...
Full Face Snorkel Mask
My face used to sting and my eyes burn all day when I wore sunscreen - but my skin is melanin challenged and I fry so fast in the sun! Blue Lizzard has been a lifesaver! No more stinging eyes or skin- and the protection is impressive! Also approved b...
Blue Lizard Sunscreen
It gets windy on the deck- and you never want to fight a fly away towel or sit on a chair without one 😳. So wether you choose clips, stretchy bands or straps with buckles- be sure you get some help anchoring those towels. There's nothing like enjoyi...
Beach Chair Towel Clips
These collapsible cubes come in all shapes and sizes- and don't take up room in your suitcase or weigh much at all! They are great for organizing your clothing or accessories and sliding on and off shelving in the provided wardrobe spaces! Short ones...

I'm always stressed that the paper luggage tags on my bags will tear and be lost and I'll never get my bags. These were a game-changer! We used them and loved the protection and reassurance they brought. 10/10
Cruise Luggage Tag Holders for All Cruise Lines
If you get the magnetic hooks - these baskets will slip over the hooks and hold smaller items in an orderly manner. I put makeup in one, hair ties and pins in another, etc. and then hang them in a row vertically. It was wonderfully helpful- but doesn...
Mainstays Set of 3 Drawer Storage Narrow Utility Baskets, 10.3" x 3.1" x 2.4"
Who doesn't love a big floppy beach hat! I always take 3-5 on the trip and I love having variety at hand- which is why I buy them inexpensively! It may not last multiple trips- but for me- thats just fine! 8/10
Floppy Hat
Many people use a lanyard to keep their ship card- which is also your room key and purchasing power- around your neck at all times. This keeps you from losing it- especially for young ones. However- I encourage you to use this as a way to share your ...
Lanyards for your Ship Card
Cruise ships have limited available electrical outlets, and they are picky about what kind of a plug strip they'll allow. So I count these a MUST HAVE!
Power Strip- Cruise Approved!
These are hands down my favorite earbuds. Quality sound. Noise blocking available. Charge lasts FOREVER! Or at least it feels that way. 10/10
Soundcore - Life Dot 3i Earbuds
If you're like me- you hate getting sand in all your luggage and bags. The best solve I've found is a dry bag. You can seal it up and avoid filling your room with sand! It also keeps things dry if you get caught in the rain- or drop it on a boat ride...
MATEPROX Waterproof Dry Bag
The last thing you want is sand jammed in your cell phone's charging port. But you need it on you to get epic vacay photos- so these clear floating phone cases are the best solve! You can use your phone fully without ever pulling it out of its protec...
Waterproof Phone Pouch
This fan is the BEST way to stay cool. It rests comfortably around your neck and blows air in 3 different speeds onto your face. Note- if your hair is long enough to touch the fan wear it up.
Neck Fan
I used these bands recently and LOVED them! So wonderful keeping the towels on the chairs. It stayed in place so much better than the clips and was more comfortable to the touch. 10/10
Towel Bands
Cruise Excursions are expensive- worth it if you need the guarantee the boat won't leave you. But- If you are up to the task of watching the clock- you can save some money and have a better experience. You can book your ticket directly through this s...

Hands down the fastest sunburn relief out there! Be sure to get the RED cap not the blue one. Spray on and feel the numb!
Dermoplast First Aid Spray, Antiseptic & Analgesic Spray for Minor Cuts, Scrapes and Burns, 2.75 oz
So I bought this right before my cruise and didn't pay attention to the fact that it was a front and back situation- NOT two pieces. So I improvised and hung the parts up with my magnets! It was fun- but since then I've used it as it was intended and...
