"As a former cruise ship entertainer, it doesn't surprise me that more people are growing curious about cruising. For travelers who find planning fatiguing, overwhelming, or simply don't have time to research hotels, restaurants, and activities, cruising offers an easy solution. If you want a hands-off travel experience-arrive, unpack once, and let someone else handle the itinerary-cruising fits the bill."
"Cruise ship decks can be slippery. Deck stewards regularly spray down the decks to keep them clean and prevent salt corrosion. Plus, drink spills happen, especially at open-air bars. On top of that, ship movement from waves adds to the risk, so you'll want all the traction you can get. Pack non-slip shoes with good grip on the bottom, like this pair of Lavau flip-flops."
Over 21 million Americans are expected to take ocean cruises this year, a one million increase over 2025 projections. Cruising offers a hands-off travel experience where travelers unpack once and rely on onboard services for meals and activities. Successful cruises require realistic expectations and purposeful packing to maximize time ashore and onboard. Essential items include non-slip sandals for wet, slippery decks and versatile cover-ups such as caftans or maxi styles to transition easily from pool to lunch. Packing a thoughtful day bag improves comfort and reduces stress during port visits.
