So you’ve booked the cruise. The countdown is on. Now comes the fun part: pegging—uh, we mean packing.
Same thing, right? 😏
Whether it’s your first gay cruise or your fifth themed sailing, there’s a unique art to preparing for a week of sun,
connection, parties, and maybe even some intimate adventures. To help you make the most of your trip, we’ve put
together a guide of essentials you’ll actually use, from the obvious must-haves to a few spicy extras
you might not have thought about.
Daytime Must-Haves
- Swimwear x3 – One for lounging, one for parties, and one that makes you feel hot AF.
- Flip flops or sandals – Easy to kick off at the pool or beach.
- Sunscreen (SPF 50+ is a must) – You’ll thank us later.
- Sunglasses & Hat – Protect your face and elevate your look.
- Beach tote or water-friendly bag – To carry your stuff from pool deck to shore excursions.
Evening & Theme Night Looks
- Theme outfits – Most cruises have fun events like "White Night," "Glow Night," or "Underwear
Party." Check the schedule and plan accordingly. - Comfortable (but hot) shoes – You’ll be walking, dancing, and showing off.
- Accessories that pop – Harnesses, body chains, or just a killer fan.
- Light jacket or layering piece – It can get breezy on deck at night.
🔥 Intimate Essentials
- Condoms & lube – Better to have too many than not enough.
- Your favorite toy or two – Solo or partnered, it’s your cruise experience.
- Travel-sized wipes – For quick refreshes between activities.
- Discreet toy bag – Keep things tidy in your cabin.
🚪 Cabin Game-Changer: "Do Not Disturb" Door Hanger
Trust us on this one. There’s a lot going on during a gay cruise — shared cabins, surprise visits, room
service showing up mid-scene… Don’t forget to bring a fun and stylish "Do Not Disturb" hanger to let
others know when you need your space.
Our favorite? The ones from Spicerack — they’re cheeky,
bold, and perfect for cruise energy. Whether
you’re busy being gay or just in your subspace, it’s the kind of detail that says: this cabin
is serving.
And it’s freeee!!
🧳 Pro Tips You Might Forget
- Power strip (non-surge) – Cruise cabins notoriously lack outlets.
- Water bottle – Hydrate before you dehydrate.
- Wrinkle-release spray or travel steamer – Because your cute outfit deserves better than
suitcase creases. - Sea sickness meds or bands – Just in case.
🛍 Final Tip: Leave Room for Memories (and Merch)
Chances are you’ll shop onboard or at a port stop — so don’t overpack. Bring items that make you feel confident,
comfortable, and ready for whatever the ocean throws your way.
And above all: pack for you.
Your cruise, your vibe, your story.
✈️ Safe travels and smooth sailing, darling. See you on the deck.
