Bliss Cruise Packing List
Exactly What To Bring (And Why)
Your Bliss Cruise is booked, your theme-night outfits are ordered, and now it is time for the practical part: what to pack so the trip feels fun, sexy, and stress-free instead of chaotic. This guide walks you through my Bliss Cruise Packing List section by section, so you can see what each item is for and decide what belongs in your suitcase. I know this list does not include anything about clothing. I will follow this list up with a separate post specifically about clothing.

1. Travel Documents & Money
No packing list matters if you miss the basics. For Bliss, always verify your specific sailing's requirements, but a good baseline is:
Passport, passport card, or original birth certificate as accepted by your cruise line.
Government photo ID / driver's license.
Credit cards / ATM card.
Small cash bills ($1s, $5s, $10s) for tips and port spending.
Health insurance card and any travel insurance documents you purchased.
Emergency contact card.
Printed boarding passes.
Copy of your prescriptions.
I recommend keeping all documents in a waterproof travel wallet you carry in your personal item; checked luggage can be delayed, but your wallet stays with you.
To help with packing your suitcase, add:
Vacuum bags or compression packing cubes to organize outfits and save space.
A portable luggage scale so you're not caught off guard at the airport.
Luggage cruise tags that fit your printed tags so your bags get to your cabin smoothly.
A Seapass wrist band or Seapass wrist pouch so your card doesn't get lost the second you're onboard.
2. Stateroom & Cabin Setup
Cabin doors, walls, and ceilings are metal, so magnets stick everywhere. I like to create a little "home base" that keeps clutter off surfaces and sets a fun mood:
Heavy-duty magnetic hooks (walls and ceilings are metal) for hanging wet swimsuits, coverups, and robes.
Heavy-duty magnetic towel hooks so pool towels have a home.
An over-the-door organizer and over-the-door shower caddy for toiletries and accessories.
A magnetic toothbrush holder for smaller items.
Night lights and battery operated fairy lights for ambient mood lighting.
A small sewing kit for wardrobe emergencies.
Poo-Pourri or another room deodorizing spray.
A USB bedside/desk fan to keep the air moving.
A waterproof mattress pad or waterproof play sheet to protect the bed during more adventurous play.
Ceiling mirror tiles with flat magnet tiles for mounting if you want to amplify the views in your cabin.
A small wall clock (plus magnets for mounting) since cabins rarely have clocks.
A portable Bluetooth speaker for music to help set the mood or enjoy during down time.
A white noise machine if you're a light sleeper.
A pop-up laundry hamper and mesh laundry wash bag to keep dirty clothes contained.
A reusable water bottle to refill throughout the day.
A Tide stain release stick and wrinkle release spray to keep outfits photo-ready without an iron.
This list is intended as a thought starter. You don't need everything on it, but even a few organization and atmosphere items will make your room feel organized and intentional instead of simply a mess.
3. Room Decor & Social
Door decorations are part of the fun and make it simple to find your cabin:
A magnetic whiteboard and dry erase markers for notes and meet-ups.
A magnetic door basket for daily schedules, lanyards, and small items you grab often.
Personalized cabin name tags with your names or anything else.
An upside-down pineapple or other cruise door magnets, plus duck magnets, are fun ways to personalize your door.
Battery operated pineapple string lights or star lights for a little glow.
A rechargeable magnetic black light to help set the mood with a playful glow.
Slut cards to share with new friends.
My magnetic dry-erase board is my favorite door decoration. I scribble my plans for the day, and there's nothing better than coming back to my door wondering who left me a little surprise.
4. Play Bag & Intimacy
One cruise item I never leave behind is my "play bag." It is easy to grab when it's time to play. I stock mine with:
A dedicated play bag and a waterproof pouch for toy storage & travel.
Condoms (Skyn brand) or your preferred brand to match your play style.
Uber Lube premium lubricant, my favorite high-quality silicone lube.
Honey Pot wipes or Sweetums wipes for quick, gentle clean-ups.
Toy charging cables.
Breath mints (Altoids) or Listerine strips when kissable breath matters.
Boric acid suppositories (only as directed by your provider) to help support vaginal balance if you are prone to irritation or infections.
Massage oil to set the mood.
A satin blindfold for a little extra fun.
A lightweight women's robe or men's robe for comfortable loungewear.
Toy cleaner spray that is safe for your specific materials, plus a microfiber cleaning cloth.
Silky Toes rhinestone flats or Silky Toes sequinned flats to provide cute comfort while strolling around the ship during the evening.
Panty liners, hair ties, and hair clips.
Replacement batteries for toys.
5. Health, Wellness, & First Aid
Cruises can be a demanding week with late nights, strong sun, and plenty of social time, so I like to give my immune system a little love before I even board, plus be ready for whatever comes up onboard. Think about what makes sense for you, then consider packing:
Dramamine, Bonine, or ginger chews as a more natural option for mild nausea, along with Scopolamine if your provider recommends it.
A Relief Band and the conducting gel the band requires.
Wrist pressure bands that target motion-sickness acupressure points.
Vitamin C, Vitamin D, zinc, elderberry immune support chews, and Emergen-C packets for general immune support.
An immune support multi-vitamin to cover your nutritional bases, plus a uro-vaginal probiotic to help support vaginal and urinary balance.
Zofran (ondansetron) for nausea (only as directed by your provider).
Tums, Rolaids, Prilosec, or Nexium for acid reflux and those rich late-night meals (only as directed by your provider).
Ibuprofen or acetaminophen, your preferred pain relievers.
A compact first aid kit with Band-Aids and blister patches for those "danced too hard" or "new shoes" moments.
AA batteries and AAA batteries for any devices or toys that are not rechargeable.
Liquid I.V. or another electrolyte mix to help rehydrate after pool time or late nights.
Aloe vera gel with lidocaine to soothe any sun exposure that snuck through, and Tend Skin Solution for ingrown hairs around your bikini line or shaved areas.
Pack your motion-sickness items in your embarkation day bag so you can use them before the ship even leaves port if you are prone to motion sickness.
6. Pool, Deck & Nightlife
A 20 to 30 oz. insulated tumbler for your favorite poolside drink, plus a silicone straw.
30+ SPF sunscreen, face sunscreen, and SPF lip balm to protect your skin all day.
A beach tote or mesh pool bag that can handle sunscreen, coverups, and a change of clothes.
Towel clips or towel bands so your towel does not blow away on windy pool decks.
A waterproof phone pouch for pool days.
A sun hat or trucker cap.
Lingerie and neon night apparel, glow stickers, or glow pasties for theme nights.
Flip flops or slides — the pool deck gets hot.
Walkie talkies if you and your partner need a way to stay connected without relying on ship Wi-Fi.
7. Tech & Trip Extras
Electronics can either make your cruise smoother or just add clutter, so I focus on items that truly earn their spot in the carry-on.
Phone, camera, smart watch, and chargers (remember to switch to Airplane Mode when you leave the USA to avoid surprise roaming charges).
An embarkation-day carry-on packed with swimsuit, meds, chargers, and a change of clothes.
Digital copies of your passport and other important documents, saved alongside your reservation screenshots.
A reminder to check theme nights and dress codes before you finish packing, and to get the Bliss and cruise line apps installed ahead of time.
An international power adapter and/or portable power bank to provide those needed extra outlets in the cabin and keep your phone charged through the long days by the pool and in port.
An extra long charging cable and a USB-A/C adapter to charge phones and tablets in the cabin.
A ring light if you plan to capture content or just love well-lit selfies before dinner.
Comfortable walking shoes and water shoes.
Remember to check your cruise line's rules on surge protectors, extension cords, and communication devices before you leave for your cruise.
8. Miscellaneous (Add Your Own)
Each cruise has its own feel, and you have your own wants and needs, so always customize your packing list to capture anything that is unique to you, like:
Prescription medications and a copy of your prescriptions.
Special pillows, sleep masks, or ear plugs.
Menstrual products or a menstrual cup.
Extra contacts, glasses, or lens solution.
A rechargeable keychain flashlight and Ziploc bags for wet swim suits, snacks, and chargers.
Nicole's Insider Tips
Bring plenty of small bills for tips, transportation, and vendors. A little generosity goes a long way with your Room Steward, bartenders, and wait staff.
Remember to switch your phone and smart watch to Airplane Mode when leaving the USA unless you have an international roaming plan.
My magnetic dry-erase board is my favorite door decoration. I scribble my plans for the day, and there's nothing better than coming back to my door wondering who left me a little surprise.
Cabin doors, walls, and ceilings are metal, so magnets stick everywhere — use magnetic hooks for extra hanging space (robes, hats, lanyards) and magnetic clips to block morning sun through balcony curtains or pin up notes.
