2. Small Sewing Kit
A popped button or torn seam shouldn’t sink your evening plans. A mini sewing kit is a lifesaver for quick repairs.
⚓ Pro Tip: Choose one with pre-threaded needles — no squinting required in your cabin.
3. Laundry Detergent Sheets
Perfect for handwashing in your cabin sink or using self-service laundromats onboard. Compact, lightweight, and cheaper than ship laundry services.
⚓ Pro Tip: Pack them in a zip bag to prevent dampness.
4. First Aid Kit
Cruise ships have medical centres, but a small first aid kit saves trips for minor scrapes or headaches. Include plasters, antiseptic wipes, and your go-to pain relief.
⚓ Pro Tip: Add seasickness remedies, even if you don’t usually get queasy. Better safe than sorry.
5. Microfibre Towel
These dry in a flash, fold up tiny, and are perfect for beach days or excursions. No bulky hotel-style towels weighing down your bag.
⚓ Pro Tip: Go for a bright colour so it stands out on crowded beach chairs.
6. Collapsible Water Bottle
Stay hydrated ashore without wasting space. These bottles roll up when empty and expand when you need them.
⚓ Pro Tip: Refill onboard before excursions — ship water is purified and safe to drink.
7. Mesh Zipper Bags
Ideal for sandy flip-flops, damp swimwear, or keeping shore snacks separate. Lightweight and endlessly reusable.
⚓ Pro Tip: Use one as a “tech pouch” to corral cables, chargers, and earbuds.
8. Wrinkle Release Spray
Ships ban irons and steamers, so wrinkle spray is the next best thing. A quick spritz and your dinner outfit looks polished.
⚓ Pro Tip: Hang clothes in the bathroom while you shower — steam plus spray works wonders.
9. Magnetic Smart Lights
Cabin lighting isn’t always cozy. Magnetic LED nightlights give you a soft glow for midnight trips or late-night snack raids.
⚓ Pro Tip: Place one by the bathroom — no blinding overhead lights at 2am.
10. Magnetic Wall Hooks
Think of them as your cabin’s secret storage upgrade. With magnetic hooks, those plain metal walls become prime real estate for hanging jackets, bags, and anything else cluttering the bed or desk.
⚓ Pro Tip: Don’t just bring one or two. A mini fleet of hooks means you can hang tomorrow’s outfit, organize excursion bags, and even stop your sun hat from getting squashed.
