Four Best Things to Pack on a Cruise (游轮)

Packing for any trip takes some planning, but cruise vacations present a unique challenge. To help you decide what to bring, U. S. News has compiled this list of items to pack for your next cruise.

Packable hats

If you’re headed to the Caribbean or another warm-weather destination, you’ll want a hat to protect your face from the sun. This $30 packable straw hat is a stylish woman’s option that offers UPF 50 sun protection. Men can consider the Aussie packable hat for about $40. Also, you can fold it into your suitcase, so there’s no need to wear it on the plane.

Noise-canceling earbuds

The rolling waves of the ocean can be quite annoying while enjoying a restful night’s sleep. QuietOn 3 active noise-canceling earbuds block out snoring roommates and late-night partiers returning to their stateroom. They may also come in handy for an afternoon snooze. Purchase these earbuds (around $270) on the QuietOn website.

Magnetic hooks

A surprising fact: Cruise ship cabin walls are made of metal, which means you a optimize your storage space by hanging some of your belongings on magnetic wall hooks. The hooks are perfect for hanging up and drying out bathing suits after days at the beach or pool. Purchase a set of magnetic hooks for approximately $10 on Amazon.

Packing cubes

Packing cubes are one of the best ways to organize your clothing. You can keep your shirts, pants and sweaters separate so it’s easy to find what you need.
