Random items to take cruising @julescruisecompanion

1. Reusable Straws Why: Many cruise lines have moved away from plastic straws, and paper straws can get soggy. Reusable straws (silicone or metal) are eco-friendly and practical for drinks by the pool or at bars. Pro Tip: Pack a cleaning brush for your reusable straws. 2. Towel Clips Why: These are great for securing your towel to your lounge chair, especially on windy pool decks. They also help mark your spot. Pro Tip: Look for fun, colorful clips to add a personal touch. 3. Suction Hooks or S-Hooks Why: Cruise cabin walls are often metal or have smooth surfaces, making suction hooks or S-hooks perfect for hanging hats, bags, lanyards, or wet swimsuits. Pro Tip: Bring a variety of sizes for different uses. 4. Magnets Why: Magnetic hooks or strips can be used to hang items on metal cabin walls, freeing up space and keeping your room organized. Pro Tip: Use magnets to display the daily cruise planner or important reminders. 5. Carabiners Why: These versatile clips can be used to attach items to your bag, hang wet clothes on your balcony, or secure water bottles to your backpack during excursions. Pro Tip: Bring a few in different sizes for various needs. 6. Charging Cables Why: With limited outlets in cruise cabins, having extra-long charging cables can help you reach outlets in awkward locations. Pro Tip: Pack a multi-port USB charger to maximize outlet usage. 7. Decant Liquids into Small Containers Why: Save space by transferring shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, and other liquids into travel-sized containers. Pro Tip: Use leak-proof silicone bottles to avoid spills in your luggage. 8. Sunscreen Why: Sunscreen is a must-have for any cruise, especially for pool days and shore excursions. It’s often expensive to buy on board. Pro Tip: Pack reef-safe sunscreen if you’re snorkeling or swimming in eco-sensitive areas. 9. Laundry Essentials Why: Pack a small amount of laundry detergent or soap for hand-washing clothes in your cabin sink. Some cruisers also bring a portable clothesline. Pro Tip: Use a dry bag for washing clothes—it doubles as a storage bag. 10. Miscellaneous Must-Haves Reusable Water Bottle: Stay hydrated without relying on single-use plastic bottles. First Aid Kit: Include band-aids, pain relievers, and motion sickness remedies. Lanyard for Cruise Card: Keep your cruise card handy for easy access.
