Electronics
Black Friday is known for having the biggest sale of the year on electronics. If you have an upcoming cruise, now is the time to purchase those electronics that you’ve been eyeing all year. We’ve combed through Amazon to find the best Black Friday deals for your cruising needs. Everything from Apple AirTags to chargers and organizers are on sale!
One of the most popular tech products for cruisers is Apple AirTags. With these device trackers, you can easily see where your luggage is during travel days. Cruisers also appreciate being able to track their luggage at cruise terminals. Apple does not offer sales on their products very often, so purchasing this 4-pack of AirTags for 19% off is a great deal!

If you’re in the market for new headphones, there is also a great deal happening on Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) with 24% off the original price.

Anyone with upcoming travel plans should have a portable charger to keep devices charged on the go.

Speaking of cruise ship outlets, you should also consider purchasing one of my favorite cruising products: a USB expander for European plugs. Most cruise ships have North American outlets available, but usually you can find European outlets in your cabin as well. This USB expander plugs into the European outlets in your cruise ship cabin and provides 2 outlets, 3 USB ports and a USB-C plug-in. This one is on sale for 28% off during Black Friday.

Packing Cubes and Organization
One of the hottest cruising products in the last year has been packing cubes. I’ll be honest, I didn’t understand the hype for a while until I tried them for myself. Now, I refuse to travel without them! You can organize your suitcase with ease; in addition, you can conveniently place your packing cubes right into your cruise cabin’s shelves or draws.
If you’re in the market for packing cubes, consider purchasing this 8-piece set for 43% off during Black Friday. This entire set will be perfect for your cruising needs with multiple sizes to accommodate your cruise wardrobe.

If you’re someone who chronically overpacks, you might even consider purchasing compression packing cubes. These cubes have double zippers, which will compress some of your bulky items. While it won’t magically reduce the weight of your suitcase, you can definitely squeeze more into your suitcase.

Because space in your cruise cabin is limited, staying organized is crucial. I’ve always traveled with a hanging cosmetic bag, as it easily hangs on the back of the bathroom door in a cruise cabin. This saves counter space in the small bathrooms. I never travel without one - and this fantastic deal for Black Friday is 38% off. There are multiple colors available too.

Luggage
Regardless of whether you’ll be driving or flying to your next cruise, you’ll need to have luggage for packing your belongings. Having a solid set of luggage can also make your travels go more smoothly. I’ve recently invested in higher-quality luggage and it makes all the difference when cruising.
One of the biggest luggage discounts this year comes from Samsonite with a 20-inch carry-on for 56% off. This suitcase is hard-sided and comes in a variety of colors. Originally priced at $200, this highly-rated suitcase would be perfect for your upcoming cruise.

When cruising, I have started to pack a small duffle bag in case I do more souvenir shopping than I anticipate. There’s nothing worse than having to pay for overweight luggage at the airport because you didn’t leave enough room in your suitcase. Most often, it’s cheaper to check a second suitcase with an airline than to pay for an overweight bag. This one is 20% off for Black Friday.

Price: $39.99 (Originally: $49.99)
Cruising Essentials
If you’re someone who cruises frequently, you might be looking to purchase these tried-and-true products. Because cruising is a different style of traveling, there are some items on sale for Black Friday that most travelers wouldn’t consider purchasing. However, you’ll want to review the list below to see the amazing sales happening on Amazon for Black Friday.
To start, cruisers adore these magnetic hooks to use in their staterooms onboard. Since the cabin’s walls are magnetic, you can use these hooks to better organize your cabin. You can hang hats, jackets, umbrellas and more from these sturdy hooks.
Link: DIYMAG Magnetic Hooks, 25lbs+ heavy duty magnetic hooks cruise for hanging,
Price: $9.51 (Originally $15.99)
For cruises, I always pack one pair of rubber sandals to wear both around the ship and ashore. Rubber sandals are comfortable to wear and quickly dry if you wear them to the beach or up to the pool deck. These rubber sandals are on sale for 48% off, so it’s a great time to expand your cruising shoe wardrobe.
Link: Weweya Sandals for Women and Men - Pillow Slippers - Double Buckle Adjustable Slides - EVA Flat Sandal.
Price: $20.88 (Originally $39.99)
Another cruising essential that many travelers rave about is a pack of luggage tag holders. These allow you to print out your luggage tags before arriving to the cruise terminal and place the printed tags into a plastic holder. This helps prevent the tag from getting damaged or lost, which helps ensure you receive your suitcase onboard the cruise.
Link: 4 Packs Cruise Luggage Tag Holders for Carnival, NCL & Princess Cruise, Cruise Essentials by Cruise Crew Members
Price: $4.79 (Originally $6)
Finally, many cruisers pack a lanyard to use throughout their vacation to safely keep their onboard card. Since your onboard card acts as your room key and credit card during your cruise, it’s crucial that you always know where your cruise card is located. You will also use this card to get on and off the cruise ship. This popular lanyard is on sale for 45% off and has thousands of positive reviews from fellow cruisers.
