Creator's Key Takeaways
When we went on our first cruise, we saw these everywhere on top of people's towels on the sun lounges.
We hadn't got any, and we realized how windy it can get on the upper decks of a cruise ship, particularly around the pool deck or the top sun deck.
Now, these will hold your towels in place and that towel will not go anywhere. You will not lose your towel.
I'm not a massive fan of wearing a lanyard. Uh my partner Dave and also our friends that go love these and really raved about them.

This short video highlights 5 (plus a bonus item) that we think you should not go on a cruise without, or you should at least consider. They include giant pegs, microfibre towel, lanyard, phone strap and case and an extention lead (non surge protected). If you have any item that no cruiser should be without then please place them in the comments below and we may just feature them in future releases. Many thanks for watching and hope you found these useful. Unfortunately i'm struggling to put links up to these items but you will find them very easily just by searching. Any problems give me a shout. I am going to add but you will have to copy and paste.

We are now in our 21st year together, we both have a passion for travelling and love both land based holidays and city breaks around the world as well as travelling around the UK. We have stayed in many hotels and like also to do hotel reviews wherever we go In 2022 we developed our love for cruising and have now sailed with Marella, P&O and MSC. Hopefully we will have many more cruises in the future but do feel that we have an extremely good knowledge of Marella. We love to pass on our hints and tips and give any help where we can.
