25 Cruise Essentials You Must Pack (2026 Caribbean Edition)
I just booked a 7 day cruise for the summer and realized I had most of these things left over from the last cruise. That’s when it hit me… wow, I have officially become a prepared cruiser. Not the overpacker. Not the “dang I forgot that” girl. A prepared cruiser. So of course I had to share the things you absolutely need to make your cruise less stressful, especially if you’re heading to the Caribbean in 2026.
Because yes, cruises are relaxing… but only if you pack smart.
Let’s get into it.
✈️ Travel Day Essentials
Getting to the ship is half the battle. Whether you’re flying in the night before or the morning of, these are non-negotiable.
• Portable charger – Airports love draining your phone battery. Boarding passes, Uber, cruise docs… you need juice.
• Passport holder – Keeps everything in one place. Passport, vaccination card if needed, customs forms. No digging in your tote.
• Luggage tags – Print your cruise tags early and protect them with plastic holders. Do not be the person taping paper tags at the port.
• AirTag – Especially if you’re flying. If your luggage wants to vacation somewhere else, you’ll know where it is.
• Travel-size toiletries – Always pack a small kit in your carry-on in case your suitcase takes its time.
• Bacterial cleaning wipes + Lysol travel spray – I wipe down airplane trays, armrests, and sometimes even the cruise cabin. Call me dramatic, I call it prepared.
• Nausea medicine or patches – Even if you “don’t get seasick.” The ocean does not care about your confidence.
Bonus tip: Pack a change of clothes in your carry-on. Sometimes your checked luggage doesn’t show up until dinner.
🚢 Cabin Essentials
Cruise cabins are smaller than your bedroom at home. You need to maximize space.
• Night light – Trust me. Those cabins get pitch black. Nobody wants to stub a toe at 2am trying to find the bathroom.
• Magnetic hooks – Cruise walls are metal. These save your life. Hang hats, lanyards, swimsuits, backpacks.
• Over-the-door organizer – Perfect for shoes, sunscreen, hair products, random stuff that would otherwise take over the counter.
• Non-surge power strip – It must be cruise approved. No surge protector. Outlets are limited.
• Small fan – Caribbean heat plus tight cabin equals stuffy. A small fan changes everything.
• Wet clothes bag – After beach days you will be shocked how much sand you bring back. Do not let that ruin your suitcase.
• Door magnets – The ship is huge. Having something on your door helps you spot it fast. Just don’t put a pineapple on there unless you’re ready for unexpected company.
🌴 Port Day Essentials
Port days are fun but chaotic. Stay ready.
• Waterproof phone pouch – For beach days, boat excursions, snorkeling. You will drop your phone if you don’t have one.
• Beach tote – Big enough for towels, sunscreen, and random souvenirs you swear you “weren’t going to buy.”
• Sand-resistant towel – Less mess back in your cabin.
• Reef-safe sunscreen – Protect your skin and the ocean.
• Waterproof money pouch – Keep your cards, cash, and passport secure if required.
• Portable charger – Again. Because maps, photos, and videos drain your battery fast.
• Liquid IV or electrolyte packets – Caribbean sun will humble you.
👗 Formal Night Essentials
Formal night hits different when you’re prepared.
• Wrinkle release spray – Because cruise irons are not allowed.
• Travel steamer – If you really want to be crisp.
• Heel protectors – Especially for outdoor deck dinners.
• Magnesium spray – Your feet will thank you after dancing in heels.
• Tripod – Take your own pictures. Those cruise photographers are talented but that bill will hurt.
• Statement jewelry that packs light – Elevates your outfit without overpacking.
Things you never think of:
• Reusable water bottle – Fill up with juice or water and keep it in your room. Midnight thirst is real.
• Snacks from a local store before embarkation – Yes, there is unlimited food. But at some point you will crave a simple potato chip. Trust me.
• First aid kit – Blisters, headaches, random cuts. The medical center is not cheap.
• Small sewing kit – Buttons pop at the worst times. Especially on formal night.
• Straws – Many cruise lines don’t provide them anymore. If you like your iced coffee with a straw, bring your own.
Cruising is one of my favorite ways to travel, but it’s so much better when you’re not running to the onboard shop paying triple the price for something you forgot.
The goal is to relax, eat good, explore beautiful islands, and not stress over the little stuff. Pack smart, be prepared, and let the Caribbean do the rest. I’ll share some of my favorites.
Now tell me… what’s one cruise item you forgot once and never forgot again?
Don’t Just Pack Outfits| Pack a Safety Net: Why Travel Insurance Is The Most Important
As someone who travels sometimes solo, or with my daughter, my suitcase isn’t the only thing I make sure is in order before a trip. Yes, I plan my outfits. Yes, I obsess over the itinerary, but my real first step after booking a flight or cruise? Securing travel insurance. Because cute sandals won’t help you if you break your ankle on an ATV in Costa Rica. And your matching mother and daughter outfits won’t mean a thing if one of you ends up needing emergency care in another country.
I always turn to Travel Insured International. It’s been my go to for years. It’s affordable, reliable, and has come through when it counted. But I didn’t get serious about travel insurance just because I like paperwork. I’ve seen too many horror stories online and in real life from people who thought they didn’t need it… until they really did.
Like that viral story of the woman who had a stroke on a cruise and had to be airlifted off the ship, only to find out she didn’t have international coverage. Or the family whose toddler got seriously sick abroad and had to pay out of pocket for tens of thousands of dollars because their U.S. health insurance didn’t cover overseas care. These stories remind me why travel insurance is a must, not a maybe. I don’t play about me and mine safety.
You may be reading this thinking, “Oh I’m healthy, I travel often, I don’t need this.” Why waste money on a what if? But let me ask you, do you say that when it comes to car insurance? Or your home insurance? Exactly! Insurance is there for the what if. And when you’re in another country, they’ve got their own rules, laws, and systems. What flies in the U.S. might not mean a thing abroad. The goal is to go on vacation, have a time, and make it back home safe and sound. Don’t let a medical emergency or unexpected mishap catch you slipping. Let’s continue.
What Is Travel Insurance and Why Do You Need It?
Travel insurance is basically your safety net when you’re out living your best life far from home. It covers a range of unexpected things like trip cancellations, medical emergencies, lost luggage, delays, and even emergency evacuations. Whether you’re flying to another country or hopping on a cruise, you’re stepping into the unknown and that’s where insurance comes in.
Think of it like this, your regular health insurance might not work abroad, and the airline isn’t responsible if your bags disappear into the travel void. If you’re stuck overseas with a broken ankle or a sudden illness, that hospital bill will be coming out of your pocket, unless you’re covered. And don’t even get me started on cruise ships, where international waters can get tricky real quick.
Travel insurance gives you peace of mind. It’s not just about “if something happens,” it’s about knowing you’ve got backup if it does. Here are some I recommend to you that are for the budget friendly ones with still good coverage and the ones who are premium.
My Top Travel Insurance Providers I Recommend
Not all travel insurance is created equal and not everyone’s budget or needs are the same. Here are my top picks based on value, flexibility, and real world experiences:
💸 Affordable Picks
Travel Insured International: This one’s my personal go to. I’ve used them for a few international trips and cruises, and I’ve had nothing but a smooth experience. Their plans are affordable , and they don’t skimp on coverage.
Seven Corners: Great for travelers who want to customize their plan without breaking the bank. Their “Wander Frequent Traveler” option is clutch if you travel often throughout the year.
🔐 Top Notch Coverage
World Nomads: If you’re the kind of traveler who’s hiking volcanoes, ATV riding, or doing anything with a little thrill, this one’s for you. They’re known for strong adventure sports coverage.
Allianz Global Assistance: Considered one of the most trusted companies globally, Allianz is ideal for those who want strong medical and trip cancellation benefits, especially on long or expensive trips.
Travel Insurance for Cruises: What You Need to Know
Cruising isn’t the same as flying somewhere and booking a hotel. Once you’re out at sea, you’re in international waters, which means your personal health insurance may not cover you. And let’s be real: if something goes left while you’re onboard, that floating hospital visit can come with a floating bill too. You can be 12 miles from a port and your personal insurance won’t cover you.
Cruise travel also comes with unique challenges:
•Missed or skipped ports (it happens more often than you think)
•Onboard medical care with limited facilities
•Delays due to weather
• Needing evacuation or transport back to the mainland
Travelex Insurance Services – Known for cruise specific plans that cover missed connections and onboard care.
Travel Guard by AIG – Offers strong trip delay and emergency evacuation coverage for cruisers.
Nationwide Cruise Insurance – Specifically designed with cruisers in mind, including port of call protections.
Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection – Their “ExactCare” plans offer quick claims and solid cruise add-ons.
Allianz Global Assistance – Yes, again! They offer cruise-focused upgrades and excellent emergency response resources.
Why Can’t I Just Buy Insurance Through the Cruise Line?
You can buy travel insurance through your cruise line and many people do. I have myself. But here’s the catch, cruise line insurance is like buying a store brand charger for your phone. It will probably work… but it won’t always give you the fastest charge, and it won’t always cover everything you actually need.
Pros of Buying Cruise Line Insurance
Convenient: It’s right there at checkout. Easy, one click add on. Tied to your booking, and if your cruise gets canceled or delayed by them, their policy usually kicks in quick. Sometimes cheaper upfront. The basic coverage may look more affordable but that’s usually because it’s basic.
⚠️ Cons of Cruise Line Insurance
Limited medical coverage: Many cruise line policies cap emergency medical benefits at a lower amount than third party insurers.
Lack of flexibility: Their policies usually only cover issues directly related to the cruise, not your flights, pre-post hotel stays, or excursions you booked yourself. Claim process may be slower if something goes wrong on the cruise, they may want to investigate first. You’re also dealing with the same company you’re trying to make a claim against, which can be tricky.
Less protection if you cancel for your own reasons: Third party plans often offer “Cancel For Any Reason” (CFAR) add ons and cruise line insurance rarely does.
If your cruise is short, basic, and you didn’t add on flights or pre travel extras, then the cruise line’s policy might work fine. But if you’ve invested in airfare, hotel stays, and excursions or you’re traveling with kids, elders, or anyone with health concerns, go with a third party provider. It’s usually more protective , more flexible, and covers more situations outside the cruise line control.
But I Have a Travel Credit Card
If you’ve got a travel credit card like the Chase Sapphire, Amex Platinum, or Capital One Venture, you might be thinking: “Why buy insurance when my card already covers travel stuff?” And hey, you’re not wrong to ask. But here’s the full picture:
What Travel Credit Cards Usually Cover:
Trip cancellation or interruption (if you booked the trip with the card). Baggage delay and loss Rental car coverage.
That’s great for minor hiccups like a delayed flight or lost luggage. But when it comes to serious medical emergencies, international hospital visits, or canceling a trip for personal reasons, that’s where the card coverage falls short. Still , get those points! Think of it like bringing a hoodie to a snowstorm. It might help, but don’t skip the coat .
You Got The Coverage, Now You Need To File A Claim:
1. Know Your Policy Before You Go
Take 10 minutes to read the fine print. Know what’s covered, what’s not, and what paperwork you’ll need. Don’t wait until something bad hits to start flipping pages. Do what I do, copy past into chat gbt. Ask it to explain it to you like a 5th grader.
2. Document Everything
Receipts, emails, screenshots, boarding passes, doctor notes, save it all. I honestly would go as far as recording conversations with doctors or nurses. When you are talking hundreds of dollars, every receipt counts.
3. Report It ASAP
If your luggage gets lost or your trip gets delayed, report it immediately, at the airport, with your hotel, or to the travel insurance provider. Don’t wait until you’re back home to speak up.
4. File Quickly and Thoroughly
Most insurers give you a tight window like 20-30 days post-trip to submit your claim. Include every document and give the full story. Don’t lie! Please don’t lie. These are people who investigate claims on a regular. Missing info or lying is a fast way to get denied.
5. Be Clear, Calm, and Complete
Treat it like a mini legal claim. Stick to facts, keep it professional, and don’t leave blanks. Even small omissions can delay or kill your payout.
Stupid Myths You Need to Stop Believing
•I’m healthy, I don’t need travel insurance.
•The airline will refund me
•I can just buy it the day before I leave
•My credit card covers everything
•Insurance companies don’t pay claims anyway
Real Coverage, Real Peace of Mind
For my previous trip, I used Travel Insured International to cover both myself and my 12 year-old. The total cost for our policy was just $49, and it covered everything from trip cancellation and delay to $100,000 in medical coverage and $1 million in emergency evacuation. It even included perks like missed connection coverage, political evacuation, and baggage delay reimbursement. I didn’t have to file a claim (thankfully!), but knowing we were protected gave me serious peace of mind while traveling internationally as a mom.
$49 for all that? You’re probably thinking what’s the catch? But there really wasn’t one. That was just the basic and covered trip cancellation, trip delay, missed cruise or tour connections, $100,000 in medical coverage, $1 million in emergency evacuation, and even political evacuation, baggage delay, and pet kennel coverage (yep, even that).
Listen, travel is one of the best investments you can make in your life. Some of us save up to travel. But while you’re planning the fun stuff , the excursions, outfits, and restaurants , don’t skip the safety part. Travel insurance isn’t just a formality, it’s my peace of mind. Whether you’re hopping on a cruise, flying internationally, or just taking a weekend trip with your kid, protect yourself. You never want to be the person stuck in a foreign country with a medical emergency and no support. I know me, I have a weak immune system. So on top of me having my medicine and vitamins, I’m no fool.
Trust me , for less than the cost of dinner and drinks, you can make sure you’re covered if life happens. You’ll be glad you didn’t skip it.

Catalina in a Day: Best Things to Do, Eat & See on This Hidden Gem Island
Let me tell y’all about my day in Catalina Island aka one of the most unexpectedly beautiful little escapes I’ve been to lately. It definitely gives very much little Italy. I’m sure The California natives don’t find this as a gem. For the rest of us this is my take. I stopped there on a Carnival cruise and even though I was only there for the day, I did a lot and still left feeling like I need a full weekend trip next time with my future husband.
First stop? The Submarine Tour.
Yes, I went full tourist mode and got in one of those semi-submarine boats, and it was actually really cool. Yes I know it may sound scary, but we weren’t going to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. You’re not fully underwater, but you’re low enough to see the fish and coral, and they even give you fish food to shoot out so the fish swarm right in front of your window. It’s fun and chill, and you can bring kids or go solo like me. Either way, it’s a peaceful little start to your Catalina day.
Everything I booked was via Viator right here. One place where I know the reviews are real.
Beach Time Done Right
After the tour, I headed straight for Descanso Beach. You can rent a beach chair and umbrella (which I did because I’m not built for that direct sun anymore), and just vibe. There’s also a beach club right there if you want drinks or snacks while you lounge.
And if you’re trying to get around and explore more of the island, definitely rent a golf cart. That’s how most people move around Avalon, and it’s a fun way to see the hills, neighborhoods, and those crazy views from above the harbor. There’s even a botanical garden tucked away up the hill if you’ve got time.
How to Get There (if you’re not cruising like I did)
If you’re in SoCal, you can take the ferry from Long Beach, San Pedro, Dana Point, or Newport Beach. The ride is only about an hour and the views on the way are a whole vibe too. It’s a perfect weekend getaway without needing to hop on a plane.
Where to Eat – My Top 5 Picks
Yes, I peeked into menus and did some food stalking so y’all don’t have to. There are only so many restaurants I can try in a day.
Bluewater Avalon – Fresh seafood and waterfront views. Get the clam chowder and thank me later. The Lobster Trap – Dive-y in the best way. Casual, great fish tacos. Descanso Beach Club – Eat, drink, beach. Repeat. Lloyd’s of Avalon – Candy and ice cream heaven. Perfect for a little sweet treat before heading back to the boat or ferry. Maggie’s Blue Rose – Cute spot for Mexican food and margaritas.
Where to Stay If You’re Doing an Overnight Trip
If I had more than a day, these are the places I’d check out:
Hotel Atwater – Chic but not too pricey. Great location near the pier. Pavilion Hotel – Right on the beach walk. Cozy vibes and includes wine hour! Aurora Hotel – A little tucked away, quiet, and has a rooftop deck. Seaport Village Inn – Family-friendly and affordable. Zane Grey Pueblo Hotel – For the views alone. It sits above town and has a nice historic feel.
Final Thoughts
My daughter and I loved it very much. It’s a place I felt a peace at. Most people who love on the island get around by walking, biking, or renting golf carts. Residents even have to apply for a permit to have their own car. & it is usually one car per household. I learned a lot from the walking tour as well. Catalina is giving romantic getaway, solo self-care retreat, and girls’ trip energy all in one. Whether you’re cruising in like I did, or taking the ferry over from the coast, the island’s charm hits you right away. The water is clear, the pace is slow, and there’s just something magical about it. I really enjoy it. The fact I think about it often means I need to go again. Next time, I’m staying longer. And maybe doing zip-lining. Or kayaking. Or both.
Sike! I’m not that bold yet.
Until then… Catalina, I’ll be back.
My First International Birthday: A Solo Trip to the Bahamas
For my 30th birthday, I decided to treat myself to something truly special my first international trip! I chose to stay at the Hotel Riu Palace Paradise Island, an adults-only resort in the Bahamas. It was the perfect getaway, offering stunning beachfront views, delicious food, and endless drinks to celebrate my milestone birthday.
The resort was filled with couples and groups of friends, but honestly, I never felt lonely. Everyone was so friendly, and the staff were genuinely welcoming. Although the men in the Bahamas, along with some of the hotel staff, were quite flirtatious, I didn’t feel unsafe at any point. That was until I had an odd experience on the beach. A gentleman staying at the resort approached me and asked if I was also staying there. He even went so far as to ask what floor I was on. I was completely stunned and immediately recorded the exchange. After a brief conversation, I was able to politely get him to leave.
I was proud to have planned and booked everything myself. From airport transfers to activities, I handled it all! I booked a walking food tour and another van tour, both through Viator. I also made sure to arrange my cab service ahead of time for smooth airport pickups and drop-offs. I did have one experience with a driver who I wouldn’t book again. Although nothing about his service was overtly wrong, his flirtation was uncomfortable and off-putting.
The Bahamas as a whole was absolutely amazing, and I’d definitely return to Riu Palace Paradise Island again. That said, I’d prefer to explore other locations to compare. For solo travelers, this hotel is a perfect first stop, but I would recommend taking a few precautions. I’d suggest purchasing a door stopper for added security and being mindful of your surroundings, especially when traveling alone.
A highlight of my stay was when they upgraded my room at check-in to celebrate my birthday and even offered me a complimentary drink. Such a thoughtful touch!
Overall, my first international birthday trip was unforgettable. The Bahamas welcomed me with open arms, and I can’t wait for my next solo adventure.
