As frequent cruisers, we are always on the lookout for ways to make our travels more enjoyable, efficient and safer. Recently, we tried out the Apple AirTags, and we were impressed by how they helped us keep track of our belongings. These small, disc-shaped devices use Bluetooth to connect to your Apple device, allowing you to track your belongings in real-time.
Setup was simple, we gave each AirTag a unique name and emoji. Simply attached an AirTag to your luggage, backpack, or any other item you want to keep track of, and you’ll be able to see its location in the Find My app same as other Apple devices.

During our recent cruises, we attached AirTags to our luggage and carry-on bags, and it was a game-changer. We no longer had to worry about our bags getting lost or misplaced, and we could easily track their location on my iPhone. Notifications were received after checking in our luggage at the airport. With connecting flights, we were able to confirm our luggage was still nearby. The AirTag’s battery lasts up to a year, and they’re waterproof, making them perfect for travel.

- Power Bank – A portable power bank is essential for keeping your devices charged on the go. Look for one with multiple USB ports, so you can charge multiple devices at once.
- Waterproof Phone Case – Protect your phone from water damage with a waterproof phone case. This is especially important if you plan to participate in water activities.
- Travel Adapter – A universal travel adapter is a must-have for charging your devices in foreign countries.
- Packing Cubes- These handy cubes help you stay organized by separating your clothes into different compartments, making it easy to find what you need without rummaging through your suitcase.
- Portable Bluetooth Speaker – Bring the party with you wherever you go with a portable Bluetooth speaker. Look for one that’s waterproof and has a long battery life.
- Insulated Water Bottle – Stay hydrated on your cruise with an insulated water bottle. Look for one with a large capacity and a secure lid.
- Snorkel Gear – If you plan to go snorkeling, bring your own gear to avoid rental fees and ensure a comfortable fit.
- Mesh Bag – A lightweight mesh bag is perfect for carrying your essentials on excursions, to the pool and for carrying your port day souvenirs. A sturdy bag is essential for carrying all your beach essentials, such as towel, sunscreen, and snacks.
- Travel Pillow – A comfortable travel pillow is essential for getting a good night’s sleep on long flights or in unfamiliar beds in your cabins.
- Travel-sized Toiletries- Don’t forget to pack travel-sized toiletries, such as shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, to save space in your luggage. If your preferred products don’t come in travel size, rather than bringing full size bottles use refillable TSA approved containers.
The Apple AirTags were a great addition, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking to keep track of their belongings during their travels. Additionally, these essentials for your next cruise can help you stay organized, comfortable, and entertained during your travels. So, pack these essentials on your next cruise and enjoy a smoother, more enjoyable travel experience.
