Cruise Cabin Essentials - Light Packer Edition

Jul 8

After being a never cruiser for 20+ years, I have recently found that I love Cruising. Last year, I booked 8 cruises, and I have 9 booked for 2025. I love traveling and plan elaborate trips for my family. However, sometimes it is nice to relax and have someone plan everything for you.

Here are my Cruise Cabin Essentials:

My Cruise Fan

I carry this on all my cruises. It is small and fits in my hand. I usually travel with a travel backpack, so everything I carry has to fit in my backpack and not take up a lot of space. This fan is great for white noise. It also provides some cool air, which is perfect for this middle-aged woman.

2. Cruise Approved Power Strip (non-surge)

I usually have more devices than outlets in my cruise cabin. You have to make sure you choose a power strip that is cruise compliant, like the one below. When I travel on Princess Cruises, sometimes they only have two outlets. This small power strip goes on all my cruises. It comes in handy when traveling with someone with a CPAP, phones, kindles etc.

3. Magnetic Hooks

These are great to have the room. I hang my lanyard on them. I use them to dry bathing suits. I can also hang my fan above on them. They are very versatile and love finding uses for them to keep things off our limited cabinet space in our room.
