Snorkel gear

Most cruise line's private beaches offer snorkeling gear to rent. However, if you plan on snorkeling on multiple islands within one trip, or within many trips, it may be best to have your set.

Keep your room key easily with you throughout the resort with either a lanyard or my favorite, a MagSafe wallet. It's so convenient for daily use too!

Portable fans

Portable fans are excellent on a hot day by the pool, at the beach, or in your room, providing a refreshing breeze wherever you need it.

Tumbler/water bottle with straws

Don’t forget your reusable insulated cup/tumbler. The insulated tumbler with a straw (think Caribbean frozen drink!) will keep your beverages colder longer in the hot sun. And, you can put more in the tumbler than the smaller cups you typically get from the bar so it’s less trips!

Additional insulated cup/tumblers
Metal straws with cleaning sticks

Swimsuit cover ups

This fashionable cover up is perfect for the beach, pool and walking around on the resort.

Reef safe sunscreen

Help keep the reefs safe while protecting you and your children's skin from the intense sun. Some Caribbean locations prohibit the use of sunscreens that could harm the reefs. Broad spectrum and coral reef friendly.
