The romance kit
Itinerary & shore days. Caribbean routes from Miami mix sea days with sunny ports. Pack reef-safe sunscreen, water shoes and a dry bag, plus a cover-up and comfortable sandals for easy port towns, and a small day bag with a refillable water bottle.
Smart packing tips. Roll clothes, use packing cubes, and keep documents in one pouch. Magnetic hooks help in a compact cabin on the steel walls, and a power bank keeps phones charged through long port days.
Bodysuits and teddies weigh almost nothing and never wrinkle — the easiest win in your bag for Explorer's formal nights.

Open-flame candles are banned on board, so set the mood with flameless massage oils and battery candles. Cabin walls are thin, so choose a quiet, rechargeable toy from our discreet, app-controlled collection, and add travel-size lube and protection. The full kit is curated in our Honeymoon & Romance edit, or grab the Cruise Travel Essentials bundle.
