What to Pack for a Cruise: Cruise Must-Haves You Can Grab at MetroWear
Getting ready to set sail on a cruise? Whether you’re heading to the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, or somewhere tropical and sunny, packing smart can make all the difference. The good news? You don’t have to break the bank getting cruise-ready—MetroWear has tons of fashion finds and travel essentials to help you pack like a pro.
Here’s your cruise packing checklist—with a MetroWear twist.
1. Comfy & Cute Travel Day Outfit
First impressions count, even on embarkation day. Choose something comfortable yet stylish for boarding the ship. Think leggings, soft tees, oversized cardigans, or a flowy jumpsuit.
Find travel-day staples at MetroWear for just $5–$7 per piece.
2. Dinner & Formal Night Attire
Cruises often include at least one formal night. Bring a dressy outfit like a cocktail dress or jumpsuit and a pair of comfortable heels or wedges.
From chic dresses to stylish shoes—MetroWear has the cruise looks without the cruise price tag.
3. Excursion-Ready Gear
Planning to explore a port? Pack shorts, tanks, and breathable outfits that are easy to move in, plus a backpack or crossbody bag.

4. Loungewear & Pajamas
You’ll want something cozy for lounging in your cabin or enjoying a sunrise on the balcony.
We have super soft lounge sets and pajamas you’ll never want to take off.
5. Swimsuits & Cover-Ups
You’re going to live in your swimwear. Pack at least two swimsuits so you always have a dry one ready, plus cover-ups for walking around the ship or hitting the buffet.
MetroWear carries name-brand and boutique swimwear at unbeatable prices.
6. Layers for Breezy Nights
Even in tropical weather, nights at sea can get chilly. A lightweight jacket, cardigan, or hoodie is a must.
MetroWear always has great layering pieces for both comfort and style.
7. Cruise-Ready Accessories
Don’t forget sunglasses, a sunhat, costume jewelry, and a small crossbody purse.
MetroWear’s accessories wall is full of stylish finds perfect for sun and sea.
8. Shoes for Every Occasion
- Flip flops for the pool
- Sneakers for excursions
- Sandals for casual wear
- Dress shoes for dinners
MetroWear carries a wide variety of brand-name and boutique footwear. Some styles as low as $10.
9. Toiletries & Travel-Size Essentials
