Have you been on a cruise? I’ve never been on a cruise, but that’s going to change very soon. My boyfriend’s dad goes on cruises all the time. He decided for his 80th birthday he wanted the family to go. We have booked our cabin and will be cruising on the newest Carnival ship, the Jubilee.
I’ve talked to a few people that have been on cruises and have found out a few tips, but I’m always open to more suggestions. We are in one of the excel corner suites, so we have a large wrap around balcony and a decent sized bathroom. I was just looking at the Carnival site today and have found out there are some great amenities included with the room we booked, HUGE PLUS!
We were told not to overpack, but I’m sure that will happen. I have been looking at clothes the day we booked the trip. I’m sure there will be more posts about all the outfits I have found as we get closer to setting sail. For now, here is one outfit that looks perfect to walk around one of the ports.
MEROKEETY Women’s Summer Striped Short Sleeve T Shirt Dress Casual Tie Waist with Pockets
I love a dress with pockets! This one comes in 28 different colors (14 stripes and 14 solids), has over 27,000 ratings with an average rating of 4.4.
I don’t know what color to pick, but I’m leaning towards the navy (pictured) or one of the shade of green.
Vionic Women’s Flip Flops
I’m a sucker for tortoise shell, so I immediately fell in love with these.
I usually go for a very basic, very flat flip flop, but these have extra support and will be good for walking around port all day.
Vionic flip flops are made with technology that helps correct pronation and promotes full-body alignment.
These come in a ton of colors and prints and are available in sizes 5-12 with medium and wide widths.
Fozono Polarized Aviator Sunglasses for Women
I only wear aviator style sunglasses. This style just looks better on me than anything else. Since I love tortoise shell, these were a no-brainer.
If tortoise shell isn’t for you, these are available in 3 other colors.
KATIE OTTE Hoop Earrings 14K Gold
You can’t go wrong with some classic gold hoops. You’ll be wearing these with everything! Jeans and a sweatshirt to that new dress you bought to wear to a wedding, these will go with any outfit.
Large Straw Beach Bag
This bag is large enough to put all your souvenirs in and still have room for you wallet, phone, and other essentials.
It is lined AND has a zipper which keeps your things safe. The strap is long enough to wear comfortably on your shoulder.
This style comes in 5 colors.
Sun Bum Original SPF 50 Sunscreen Spray |Vegan and Hawaii 104 Reef Act Compliant (Octinoxate & Oxybenzone Free) Broad Spectrum Moisturizing UVA/UVB Sunscreen
Finally, the item every cruise outfit needs, sunscreen.
I really like Sun Bum brand. I have used the lip balm, the lotions, the oils, and the sprays.
Sun Bum is the brand I bought when I needed reef safe sunscreen.
That’s going to be one of my port outfits. I have found a couple other things I will probably buy for the cruise, so stay tuned.
