Creator's Key Takeaways

I was also thrilled to find many popular crew staples here as well, including wrinkle release spray, tie to go stain remover pens, small first aid kits, and travel size disinfectant wipes.

These are definitely a mustave for any cruise, especially when you're planning to spend long days ashore.

Five Below also had a huge selection of lanyards available, which is absolutely a cruise staple.

If you need some over-the-counter medication during your sailing, purchasing it on board can be significantly more expensive than just bringing it on board with you.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Stock up on travel-sized essentials to save space in your suitcase and cruise cabin.
Bring magnetic and portable chargers for additional charging options, especially on older ships with limited outlets.
Use lanyards to carry your cruise card everywhere.
Purchase over-the-counter medication before your cruise to avoid higher prices on board.
Decorate your stateroom door with cheap decorations that you can leave behind after the cruise.
