OTHER ITEMS
Towel Clips
These towel clips are not only useful for keeping your pool towels from flying away or flapping in the ocean breeze, but also for closing the gap on blackout drapes.
Towel Bands
Towel bands are another option for wrangling flyaway pool towels. The towel clips seem to be more popular, though.
Insulated Wine Tumbler
Like to carry your wine around the ship? This insulated tumbler is perfect for wine or coffee. 😉
Stainless Steel Straws
Do you hate the new paper paper straws? These stainless steel straws are a good alternative, and this is a family pack of four in different colors.
Travel Corkscrew
You never know when you might receive a free bottle of wine on a cruise, so be prepared with a nifty travel corkscrew.
Insulated Water Bottle
I like to have an insulated water bottle next to my bed, and something like this is perfect. It’s lightweight and isn’t prone to leaking.
Seat Belt Extender
Are you a little curvy and embarrassed to ask for a seat belt extender on a plane? Why not take your own?
Snorkel Gear
Going snorkeling a lot on your trip and don’t like borrowing or renting gear? Consider taking your own snorkel gear next time.
Travel Packs of Detergent
On long cruises, these travel packs of detergent can save you from spending on sending out laundry. They’re perfect for washing out a few things in the sink in your stateroom.
Wrinkle Releaser
Since irons and steamers aren’t allowed on cruise ships, wrinkle releaser is the next best thing. Don’t leave home without it.
Magnet Hooks
We have these magnet hooks and use them every time we cruise. Cruise ship cabins have lots of metal surfaces (doors, walls, ceiling). These magnets are perfect for pinning notes to the back of your door, or hanging hats or small purses. We attach our weekly schedule to the back of the door with them. You can even use them to hang wet things to dry from the ceiling of your shower.
Cruise Duck Starter Kit
If you’d like to try hiding ducks on a cruise ship (yes, it’s a thing), a cruise duck kit like this can help you get started.
Sanitizing Wipes
Sanitizing wipes are a must, and these are packaged for travel. These are perfect for wiping down your stateroom when you arrive, just to be sure, and for sanitizing a table in the buffet before you sit down to eat.
Thank-You Notes
Thank-you notes for the crew are a nice touch, especially if you’re leaving an extra gratuity. These are simple, elegant, and bargain-priced. We take some like this every time we cruise.
Post-It Notes
Post-It notes are a great way to leave a message for your cabin mate or stateroom attendant.
Highlighters
Highlighters are perfect for marking activities you are interested in on your ship’s daily newsletter, using a different color for each family member.
