A winter cruise is a great way to get away from the cold as you bask in tropical sunshine. In addition to sunglasses and a swimsuit, here are a few innovative items to make the experience even better.
Power Up!
Cruise Ship-Approved Power StripAll too often, cruise ship cabins only have two outlets, which makes it difficult to charge all your devices such as phones, digital cameras, and iPads while also using an iron or hair dryer. Since many cruise lines prohibit the use of extension cords and surge protectors, just plug this power strip in to convert each single outlet into three, plus two USB outlets. Because it does not provide surge protection, it is designed to be compliant with cruise ship rules.
Pack Like a Pro
Pack-It™ Isolate Compression Cube
Travel pros know to use as few pieces of luggage as possible, so they rely on this compression cube to “squeeze” a week’s worth of clothes into one compact piece of luggage that is easy to maneuver on the ship as well as on the flight to and from the port. They can even be washed between cruises as needed to keep them looking like new.
Wrinkle-Buster
Steam Clip™Arriving in the cabin with wrinkled clothes is part of the cruising experience, and this clever gadget may be the solution. The Steam Clip™ is designed to work with all type of ship and hotel hangers, using the steam from a hot shower to relax wrinkles. It also functions as a bottle opener, a cutter to trim off loose threads, a stand for cell phones, and a handy hook to keep jackets and/or bags off public restroom floors.
Capture Every Angle
Kodak Pixpro SP360 Action Camera Dual Pro PackThe best way to save adventures is to use a video camera, and this one captures 360 degrees of action in crisp 4K resolution. It utilizes two Kodak SP360 action cameras mounted back-to-back on a selfie stick. To be in the video, attach it to hard surfaces via the included suction cup, and use the remote control to operate it. In addition to video, the cameras also take still photos.
Splash-Proof Your Phone
Pelican Waterproof Floating Phone PouchWith water everywhere you look, this waterproof, floating pouch is a must while on a cruise to protect your phone—and all the data and photos on it—from errant splashes or even an accidental dunk in the pool. A clear panel on the front allows full access to all screen apps as well as phone and camera functions, with another clear panel on the rear over the lens and flash.
