Cruise gift shops might be nice, but their essentials are mighty overpriced.
There’s a lot that’s included for free on a cruise. At the same time, some things will cost extra and if you forget an essential, having to buy it on board (or in port) is usually not the most economical outcome. Thankfully, there are many things you can bring on board that will save you money during your cruise. This list is equal parts “don’t forget to bring” and “oh, I never thought about bringing that.” In both cases, you will save money on your cruise if you have these 10 essentials with you.
