Cruise Essentials
Do you have everything you need for your cruise? Maybe not!
On this page, you’ll find a large variety of essential items for your next cruise. You’ll wonder how you ever cruised without them!
“I will never cruise without my cruise gear… ever.”
— Brad (that’s me!)
Cruise Gear
These items can help make your cruise easier, but always double check the cruise line’s policies on what is allowed on board. For instance, power strips are not allowed on every cruise line.

Cruise Luggage Tags
I use these on every bag, and they protect my luggage tags. I can’t tell you how many times people lose their bags because their paper tags fall off.
Power Strips
On older ships, wall plugs are very limited. Sometimes, there’s only one 120V outlet in the entire room. This solves that problem and offers USB charging as well!
Strong Magnetic Hooks
Did you know that your cabin walls are magnetic? Your door is, too, but weak magnets don’t work there. Use these on your door, walls, and ceilings!
Fast Phone Chargers
Sure, you can use low-power USB ports if you want, but if you want to fast-charge your devices, you’ll want to bring some heavy-duty chargers with you on board.
Power Banks
You use your phones for booking reservations, looking up activities, and trying to find your kids. A power bank can keep you powered up all day!
Compression Bags
Want to maximize the space in your bags? Well, with compression bags, you can overpack like I do and still have plenty of space to bring home souvenirs.
