Essentials for a cruise For the toiletries, you can bring the essentials you always pack for a trip abroad such as toothbrush, toothpaste, sunscreens, moisturizers, contact lenses, deodorant, shampoo, first-aid kit, insect repellent, etc. Also, don’t forget to pack seasickness remedy. As for clothing and accessory, focus on something comfortable to wear such as skirts, sweatshirts, coats, dress shirts, etc. If you plan to attend formal event, pack a formal wear. Also, bring your swimsuits just in case you want to soak in. Miscellaneous items for a cruise To make your cruise experience more smooth and memorable, you need to pack something appropriate for the occasion. For example, pack your own plug adapter just in case you need it. Also, bring a waterproof phone case, snorkel gear, binocular, flashlight, medications, microfiber towel, and copies of documents required for a cruise. Items that should be in your carry-on When you have a cruise, you put all your essential for the trip in your carry-on bag. Make sure to put the right things inside. The items you will most likely need include change of clothes, chargers, snacks, wallets with all your valuable documents and money, headphones, water bottle, camera, eye mask, lip balm, moisturizer, sunscreen, house keys, glasses, travel blanket, itinerary, and other things you are going to essentially need. Keep in mind that what you have in your carry bag should be enough to last you on your first day on board. It is because you may have not access to your cabin for a few hours after boarding. So your luggage may show up anytime throughout the afternoon and evening. What you need to pack for a cruise at sea Most today’s cruise doesn’t always require you to dress in formal wear.
