Travel Essentials

1. Magnetic Hooks

DIYMAG Magnetic Hooks, 20-Pack

Most cabin walls are metal, so these give you instant spots for hats, lanyards, bags and damp cover-ups.

2. Non-Surge Power Strip

Cruise On Non-Surge Cruise Power Strip (2 USB, 3 AC)

Cabins usually have just one or two outlets. This compact strip has no surge protector or extension cord, which most lines require. Note: Royal Caribbean does not allow it.

3. Cruise Lanyard

Cruise On Retractable Cruise Lanyard, 2-Pack

Your ship card is your room key, ID and wallet onboard. A lanyard keeps it handy.

4. Luggage Tag Holders

Cruise luggage tag holders for your cruise line

Clear holders protect your printed tags so your bags reach your cabin. Holders are sized by cruise line, so pick the one made for yours.

5. Waterproof Phone Pouch

JOTO Universal Waterproof Phone Pouch

Keeps your phone dry at the pool, beach and on excursions, and you can still take photos through it.

6. Over-the-Door Organizer

Simple Houseware 24-Pocket Clear Over-the-Door Organizer

Hang it on the bathroom door for toiletries, sunscreen and chargers. It frees up a lot of counter space.

7. Motion Sickness Bands

8. Insulated Water Bottle
