Because “I forgot it at home” is not the vibe.
Whether you’re a minimalist packer or someone who travels with a hairdryer, ring light, and emotional support steamer, here’s your cheat sheet for what to bring — and what to leave behind.
👕 Clothing
- Daywear: Shorts, t-shirts, breezy tops, sundresses, or rompers for daytime exploring.
- Swimwear: At least two swimsuits — one to wear, one to dry. (You’ll live in them.)
- Evening Outfits: Smart-casual for dinner — think resort chic, not “grocery store chic.”
- Evening Chic Night: One elevated look for Celebrity’s dressier dinner. Bring something that makes you say “who is she?”
- Workout Clothes: If you plan to hit the gym, run on deck, or pretend to.
- Light Jacket / Wrap: Even tropical nights can get breezy on deck.
👡 Shoes
- Comfortable walking shoes (for excursions)
- Sandals or flip-flops (poolside essentials)
- Dress shoes or wedges (for formal or evening events)
- Water shoes (for Puerto Plata waterfalls)
🧴Toiletries & Personal Care
- Toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, etc.
- Sunscreen (reef-safe and plentiful)
- Aloe or after-sun lotion
- Razor + shaving cream
- Hair tools (dryer, straightener, curling iron — outlets are limited!)
- Makeup and skincare
- Nail kit / grooming essentials
- Prescription medications + basic first aid
- Motion sickness meds (just in case)
- Hand sanitizer & sanitizing wipes (because cruise germs are sneaky)
⚓️ Cruise Must-Haves
- Passport
- Cruise documents and boarding pass
- Luggage Tags from your Celebrity Cruises account

- Beach bag or tote
- Sunglasses (plural)
- Sun hat or cap
- Light backpack for excursions
- Power strip (non-surge only!)
- Portable charger
- Ziploc bags for wet swimsuits or protecting electronics
- Credit/debit cards

- GoPro or underwater camera
- Headphones / earbuds
- Smartwatch

💅 Optional but Highly Recommended

- A good book (or three)
- Dramamine, ibuprofen, electrolyte packets
- Your signature scent
- A few “I-didn’t-plan-to-look-this-good” outfits for spontaneous photoshoots
❌ Leave These at Home
- Irons, candles, or anything with open flames (Celebrity will confiscate your fire hazard, pyromaniac).
- Hard liquor (they’ll find it).
- Bad attitudes
💙 Pro Tips
- Pack a carry-on with swimsuit, meds, and essentials in case your luggage arrives late.
- Bring a foldable laundry bag — trust me, it’ll fill up faster than your camera roll.
- Don’t forget reef-safe sunscreen — especially for snorkeling days.
- Label your chargers. There’s always one thief. It’s probably Sam.
- DO NOT FORGET YOUR PASSPORT.
