    Just remember the more you buy the more you have to lug around. Before you buy any cruise accessory, ask yourself just two questions 'Will I use it?' & 'Do I already have something that will do the same job?'

    I had a friend who made fun of me for bringing my microfiber beachtowel when the cruiseline has towels. Until..... we were at CocoCay swimming and when we came out of the water we were looking at a "sea" of blue towels. That's when i spotted my towel and walked straight to our chairs. She ordered one as soon as she got back home.😂

    Just sharing... for the silicone bottle covers, I found a great, much less expensive hack... use balloons. You cut a little bit off the opening to stretch easier and voilá. They work nicely and wrap around different shape bottles. Go to $ 1 tree, get a bag, and the whooole family can have bottle covers for $1.25!

      I use plastic sandwich bags from the dollar store. Take the top off the liquid and double strength the plastic bag over the top. Reattach the top and you have a very sturdy layer of protection. After that I put it in a plastic bag. Have never had a mishap.😊😊😊😊

    Love most of your ideas - sometimes I look for more cost effective options like using Dollar Tree hardware clips for towel grips. They work just as well and are 2/$1.25 😊 I also found some of the vinyl summer theme make up pouches there that were perfect size for travel size toiletries for a week to 10 days…

    I brought a microfiber towel on my kayak excursion in Næroyfjord and ended up helping out another guest who overestimated his skills and fell in the water. He stepped out dripping wet at our lunch stop🙈He could hang some clothes in the sun to dry a bit as the weather was sunny and made good use of my towel😁 The waterproof pouch for my phone came in very handy, I took some beautiful photos and videos while on the water.

    I just tried Mary Kay's After Sun Replenishing Gel on my hand yesterday! I had heard that it's INCREDIBLE for treating sunburn; the skin recovers quickly from the stinging and doesn't peel!
    Well, I haven't had a sunburn for over 35 years, but yesterday, as I grabbed my coffee after reheating it for ONE MINUTE in the microwave, the handle was SCALDING HOT and somehow I got it to the surface of my glass top stove without dropping it, thus breaking it or the stove surface, but spilling coffee everywhere!
    It wasn't until last evening, after having run my hand under cold water and gripping an ice filled cloth all day (with several fresh additions of ice), that I remembered my supply of the gel (I'm a semi-retired Mary Kay Distributor). I applied it about three separate times, took Aleve when I went to bed and when I woke up this morning, there was no pain, no swelling and no blisters!
    The stuff TRULY is incredible!!!

    I love the thought of the sand mitts. We're minutes away from the world's longest fresh water beach. And from getting into kayaking, we have the waterproof phone case, watershoes, and pack-it backpacks. I received my last purchase for our New England/Canada cruise (29 days, yayyyy), magnet hooks. I think I've got pretty much anything we might need now.

    I have Bogg Bag's, but personally, if I don't have small kids with me, I don't take it. It is big, it is bulky, and it gets heavy. Typically I just take a backpack, as my carry-on, so I can use it for excursions, and a Beach Bag in my suitcase, for the ship.
    I do take the Bogg Bag for beach trips, BECAUSE it can carry EVERYTHING, but I downsize for cruising.

    I actually have the travel hangers that you show but I also bought some very thin ones from Walmart that are plastic. I'm always confused as to why they always have wooden hangers on the cruise ships. You have to be careful not hanging anything on them damp or wet! I have also discovered that I can use the magnets in the shower stall to hang my bottles of shampoo and conditioner I bring. I also use a soap dish or sponge from the dollar store in the shower to put my shaver on so it doesn't fall through the wire rack. We just recently bought a microfiber towel to bring with us for our trip to Bermuda. So much nicer than lugging two thick towels around all day.

    I love my Bogg style bags. However when I took it on my last cruise, I found it heavy and troublesome for the excursions. PLUS, it has to be run through the scanner “SIDEWAYS” to fit, boarding the cruise on day 1 and coming back from Princess Cays. So of course everything wanted to fall out and run around the conveyer. I wont be taking it again in July.
