polarized sunglasses

Polarized UV Sunglasses are essential for a cruise because they protect your eyes from harmful UV rays and reduce glare from the water and other reflective surfaces. The bright sun and reflective surfaces on a cruise can be harsh on your eyes, and without proper protection, it can lead to eye strain, headaches, and even long-term damage. 

Polarized sunglasses are designed to filter out glare, making it easier to see objects on the water and reducing the strain on your eyes. We love these Polarized UV400 Sunglasses because they are stylish and come in a wide range of colors. They are lightweight and comfortable to wear, making them perfect for long days outdoors on a cruise. They are also versatile and can be worn while engaging in a variety of activities such as swimming, boating, or lounging on the beach.

Being inexpensive, we feel comfortable taking these in the pool or ocean without worrying about destroying our expensive pairs! They not only protect your eyes but also add a touch of style to your vacation wardrobe.

Having these Men's Swim Trunks With A Compression Liner Zip Pocket are my go to on the cruise and at the beach. Quick drying is essential for a cruise where we spent a lot of time in and out of the water. 

These swim trunks have a compression liner that provides extra support and comfort. The compression liner keeps everything in place, which is especially useful during physical activities like swimming or playing beach volleyball.

The zipper pocket is perfect for storing small items like your cruise card. It's secure and I never worried about losing it while enjoying the water activities. These swim trunks are stylish and comfortable (they come in a ton of different colors and sizes). They have a modern and sleek design that looks great, and the stretchy material allowed me to move freely and comfortably throughout the day.

On a cruise, comfortable and breathable clothing is essential. This is where our favorite Summer Sleeveless Tank made of 95% rayon and 5% spandex comes in handy.

Don't make the mistake I did, of wearing a tank top made of cotton, and I was sweating so much that I had to change into a different outfit. Since then, I've discovered that tank tops made of rayon and spandex are much more comfortable and breathable in hot weather.

This summer sleeveless tank is soft and lightweight. Rayon is a natural fiber that is breathable and comfortable to wear, while spandex provides a stretchy and comfortable fit. Together, they create a fabric that is perfect for hot weather.

For a cruise, a sleeveless tank top is versatile and easy to wear. You can pair it with shorts, skirts, or pants, and dress it up or down depending on the occasion. This makes it an ideal clothing item for a cruise, where you may want to switch up your outfit for different activities throughout the day.

A versatile Summer Sun Dress is a must-have item for any cruise. I always pack several sun dresses that are comfortable, stylish, and easy to dress up or down depending on the occasion. They are very versatile...I've worn them to the beach, to dinner and even on excursions.

This sun dress is made from lightweight, soft, stretchy breathable fabric that keeps me cool in the hot weather. They are also easy to pack and don't take up much space in my luggage. I mix and match the dresses with different accessories to create different looks throughout the trip.

On our last cruise, my friend and her husband joined us for formal dinner on the ship, and she paired one of these sun dresses with a pair of dressy sandals and some statement jewelry, and it looked stunning. The same dress also worked perfectly as a cover-up for the beach during the day!  So many uses, I love these!

When it comes to feeling confident and comfortable during a cruise vacation, having the right undergarments can make all the difference. That's why I always bring along a pair of SPANX Shapewear for Women Everyday Shaping Tummy Control Panties Thong when I cruise. These panties offer a perfect balance of shaping, ease of wear, and comfort, allowing me to enjoy my vacation with confidence and control. 

One of the standout features of these panties is their ability to provide comfortable shaping for both the tummy and behind. The soft, stretchy fabric gently smooths and shapes without feeling restrictive. It gave me a confidence boost, knowing that I had a little extra support in those areas and a more streamlined silhouette in my cruise outfits. The shaping effect was subtle yet effective, allowing me to feel confident and in control all day long.

The ease of wear is another reason why SPANX Shapewear for Women became a cruise wardrobe essential for me. They slipped on effortlessly, and the thong design eliminated visible panty lines (VPL), ensuring a seamless look under any outfit. Whether I was wearing a form-fitting dress for an elegant evening or comfortable shorts for a casual day by the pool, these panties provided the perfect foundation, giving me the freedom to wear any style with confidence.

Comfortable and Secure Fit: Comfort is paramount when spending long hours exploring the ship, lounging on deck, or participating in onboard activities. SPANX Shapewear for Women offers a comfortable fit with their hidden shaping waistband. The waistband provided just enough control to keep everything in place without digging into my skin or causing discomfort. It felt like a gentle hug, ensuring that the panties stayed in position throughout the day without any adjustments needed.

The Kids Sun Hat provided excellent sun protection for my children's faces, necks, and ears. The wide brim provided ample shade and coverage, while the UPF-rated fabric protected their delicate skin from harmful UV rays. This was especially important while on the deck, where the sun can be intense and unforgiving.

The kids sun hat was also great for keeping my children cool and comfortable in the sun. It's made from lightweight and breathable materials that allowed air to circulate and prevent overheating. This was especially helpful when my children were playing in the sun or participating in outdoor activities.

Another benefit of the kids sun hat was that it was adjustable and versatile. They come in a variety of sizes and styles that fit the kids heads comfortably and securely. The chin strap ensured that the hat stayed in place, even on windy days or during active play.

We found this also to be a great accessory for making our children look stylish and cute! We love this hat and it was a great investment for future outdoor adventures and activities. We will definitely be using it for future beach trips, outdoor sports or backyard play.

Waterproof, retractable and detachable These Cruise Card Lanyards are a great way to make sure you never lose your cruise card, and look stylish while doing so.

We really like this brand because of the different cruising styles they offer - if you're going on a cruise you my as well look good while doing it!  They have a retractable cord, the clear plastic pouch seals to be waterproof and you can detach the neck strap from the card piece in case you need to hand your card to a server to buy drinks.

Stylish, crossbody daypack is big enough to take your essentials onto the island, but small enough to be comfortable.  Fitting an iPad or Kindle, This Crossbody Daypack Bag is well made and perfect for a cruise!

One reason why this stands out...you can switch the strap and wear it over your left or right shoulder to relieve you other shoulder.  We don't use the earphone hole from the front pocket personally, but for those who do they will love that added feature.  

This is a fantastic cruise item, but also great for a day at the beach, going to work or a day out on the town! 

When going on a cruise, you will definitely have the opportunity to enjoy various water activities such as snorkeling, kayaking, or simply walking on the beach. These Water Shoes For Adults & Kids can be a great solution for these activities, as they offer protection and comfort in wet environments.

When I went snorkeling on our last cruise, I didn't have to worry about stepping on sharp rocks or slippery surfaces, as the shoes provided traction and protection for my feet. They also kept my feet from getting cut or scraped on the coral reefs.

Another benefit of using water shoes on a cruise is that they can be worn both in and out of the water. You can wear them to the beach or pool and then keep them on when walking around the ship or exploring the port, without having to change shoes or worry about wet feet. Using water shoes can also help you avoid foot injuries or infections in wet environments. 

Lastly, using water shoes can be a practical and convenient way to pack for your cruise. Rather than bringing separate shoes for water activities and regular activities, you can bring one pair of water shoes that can be worn for various activities, saving space in your luggage.

Packing for a cruise can be a daunting task, especially if you're trying to fit everything you need into a limited amount of luggage space. This great Set of 8 Packing Cubes can help simplify the packing process and make it easier to stay organized throughout your trip.

I love using packing cubes as they are extremely helpful. I use them to separate my clothing and other items into different cubes, making it easy to find what I needed without having to dig through my entire suitcase. As soon as I get my luggage in my stateroom, I can quickly unpack into the drawers since everything was pre-organized at home. This saves valuable time on embarkation day so you can spend more time checking out the ship and enjoying the day!  Don't miss that sail away party!

Additionally, packing cubes can help maximize the use of space in your luggage. By compressing your clothing and other items into smaller cubes, you can fit more into your suitcase and avoid overpacking or bringing too many items that you don't actually need. Another benefit of using packing cubes is that they can help keep your items clean and organized. If you're traveling to a destination with sandy beaches, having separate cubes for your clean and dirty clothing can help keep everything organized and prevent your clean clothes from getting dirty.

When packing for a cruise, it's important to have a luggage option that is both convenient and practical. This Weekender Bag is a great choice, as it is compact and easy to carry, while still providing enough space for your essentials. We find it helpful to keep essentials with us when boarding the cruise (since they take your luggage and bring it to your stateroom later in the day).

On my last cruise, I found that using this Weekender Bag was extremely helpful. It allowed me to pack everything I needed for the pool and shore excursions, while being stylish and versatile at the same time. It comes in a lot of different styles and colors! 

This bag is very well made, stylish and the perfect size to carry around with our bathing suits, sunscreen, hats and GoPro when we get on board.  A bonus beyond cruising, you can use this as a weekender bag (hence the name) or as bag on the fly for kids items, sports gear or the gym!

When going on a cruise, it's important to have a convenient and practical backpack that you can take with you on your shore excursions and day trips. This Travel, Ultra Light Water Resistant Foldable Backpack is our go-to when we cruise. It is lightweight, easy to pack (folds down into a small pouch!) and can be quickly unfolded when you need it.

It allows us to pack everything we need for a day trip or shore excursion, without having to bring a bulky backpack that takes up space in our luggage. It's comfortable even when wearing for long periods of time and it looks great also!

It can be used for a variety of activities, from hiking to shopping, and can be easily carried around while you explore your destination. One of our favorite bonus use for this, is using it to carry any souvenirs or gifts we buy on the islands. With limited space on a cruise ship, it's important to pack efficiently and avoid bringing too many items that you won't actually use.
