One of the most exciting shopping events of the year is upon us - Amazon Prime Day! As one of the biggest online retailers in the world, Amazon runs a two-day sale every summer with the hottest deals of the year.

While Amazon has sales throughout the year on many of its best-selling items, Amazon Prime Day is the sales event of the year with the biggest discounts. This year, Amazon Prime Day will be happening for two days: July 16-17.

Lasting only two days, the sale is a quick one. Not to mention, Amazon also releases lightning deals that are time sensitive, meaning they are only available for a short period of time. Every five minutes will bring new deals and discounts during the 48-hour period, according to Amazon.  

If you are looking to purchase any travel essentials for your upcoming cruise vacation, it's the best time to snag some fantastic deals. This is actually the 10th anniversary of Amazon Prime Day, with each year bringing bigger and better discounts than before. Prime Day features discounts on a wide assortment of product categories, including electronics, appliances, home goods, travel necessities and more.

This year, Amazon says Prime members can shop more than 5 million deals worldwide across 35 different categories during the annual sale. Shoppers can expect to find the lowest prices of the year for some of the site’s top-selling products.

Amazon Prime Day is a member-exclusive event, meaning you need to have an Amazon Prime membership to take advantage of the best deals during Prime Day. Moreover, you can also try starting a 30-day free trial to enjoy this year’s shopping event if you don't have a membership. 

With millions of deals (literally) available for Prime Day, you might be feeling overwhelmed. Everything from new luggage sets to packing cubes, portable fans and magnetic hooks are on sale this year. If you’re setting sail on a cruise this year, you should take a look at some of our favorite Amazon products during this year’s Prime Day sale.

I combed through the list of products on sale (for hours, I should say) so you don't have to! Here are some of the best Prime Day deals we found on Amazon for your upcoming cruises. 

Please note that we receive a small commission if you purchase any of the products from our affiliate links below. You can also check out our Amazon Storefront for other essential cruise items that we recommend. Purchasing from the links below costs you nothing extra, but the small commission supports Royal Caribbean Blog. All prices below were at the time of publication. Prices may change during the sale based on availability.

Luggage Deals

If you’re in the market for new luggage, now is the best time to purchase for your cruise. Regardless of how you arrive to your cruise port - by car or airplane - you’ll need to have luggage for your vacation.

Whether you need just a carry-on for lighter travel or you want to invest in a multi-piece set, Prime Day has hundreds of luggage deals. Your best bet is to purchase a luggage set for the steepest discounts, including 2-piece or 3-piece sets.

Luggage is always one of the top-selling products for Prime Day, so take a look at some of the best Prime Day deals we found for luggage.

Samsonite Luggage

One of the best brands for affordable luggage is Samsonite. Each year, Amazon slashes the price of Samsonite luggage, including a variety of carry-on suitcases and checked bags. You can also find luggage sets if you’re looking to invest in multiple suitcases. 

One of the top deals this year is this 2-piece Samsonite luggage set in Mint Green. This includes a 21-inch and 28-inch suitcase for more than 50% off the original price. Amazon lists this luggage set as its best-selling product.

Another fantastic deal on Samsonite luggage is this 3-piece luggage set. You’ll receive a 20-inch, 24-inch, and 30-inch suitcase in this set with an incredible discount of 50%. This is perfect for families looking to have a combination of checked luggage and carry-ons.

Packing cubes are another popular Amazon product for our cruisers; in particular, compression packing cubes can help save space in your luggage. You can not only stay organized, but packing cubes also allow for easy unpacking in your cruise stateroom. Simply remove the cube from your luggage and place them in your cabin’s closet, drawers or shelves. 

These Gonex compression packing cubes are some of the best-selling packing cubes on Amazon - and they're getting a big discount for Prime Day. You’ll receive 4 packing cubes with various sizes to maximize your luggage space. I own these personally and I refuse to cruise without them!

Another cruise essential that I travel with is my electronics organizer. This organizer contains all of my cords and chargers for the many devices that I cruise with. It’s so convenient having all of my cords neatly in one location when traveling and I also appreciate how it keeps my cruise cabin less cluttered. For under $10, this has been a game changer for me!

• Price: $8.09 (Originally $10.99)

Speaking of organization, one cruise essential that we recommend is a hanging toiletry bag. With limited space in your cruise cabin bathroom, you can save space by utilizing one of these organization bags. A hanging toiletry bag allows you to keep your counter uncluttered with your toiletries being stored properly on the back of the door. I don’t travel without mine!

Keeping with the organization theme, this handy travel jewelry case is also on sale for Prime Day! This allows you to store all of your jewelry safely in one place while traveling, both in your suitcase and in your cruise cabin. This one comes highly rated and I love the pink color!

Those who need to take daily medication during their vacation might also consider purchasing this travel pill organizer for their cruise. Moreover, you can use this to pack over-the-counter medication for your cruise, as the onboard shops are overpriced with a limited selection of medicine.

Magnetic hooks are very popular among cruisers, as staterooms on a cruise ship have magnetic walls. Since the space is small, these magnetic hooks can be used to hang a variety of items directly on your wall. This helps your cabin stay tidy and organized!

• Link: Neosmuk Magnetic Hooks, 27 lb+ Heavy Duty Earth Magnets with Hook for Refrigerator, Extra Strong Cruise Hook for Hanging, Magnetic Hanger for Cabins, Grill (Silver White, Pack of 10)

Another popular product for many cruisers is a mini portable fan to use in your stateroom. This is especially important if you prefer to have a fan running while you sleep. Those who like a cool cabin might also appreciate the additional airflow by having one of these portable fans.

A USB-powered fan will ensure you don’t need to waste an outlet in your cabin, either. This portable fan comes highly rated with 4.6 stars on Amazon- and it’s on sale for 34% off during Prime Day.

Similarly, handheld fans are becoming increasingly popular for cruisers as well.

In addition, one cruise essential that I never leave at home is a portable charger. To start, I never want my phone to run out of battery while on vacation. Moreover, cruise cabins have limited outlets usually so having another source for charging devices can be super helpful while cruising.

This one is on sale for Prime Day and includes built-in cords to save you space. It’s on sale for 27% and comes with thousands of 5-star reviews.

• Link:  VEEKTOMX Portable Charger with Built-in Cables, 10000mAh Power Bank for iPhone, Slim Fast Charge USB C Battery Pack, Travel Essentials Powerbank Compatible with iPhone 15/14/13, Samsung, Android, etc

• Price: $25.99 (Originally $38.99)

Another must-have electronics item for cruising is a European adapter, as many cruise ships will have a European outlet in cruise ship cabins. This expands your charging capacities while cruising - and we highly recommend you bring one, especially if you’re cruising on an older ship.

Another electronics must-have for cruising, in my opinion, is a portable sound machine. If you prefer to sleep with white noise playing, you should consider purchasing one of these for your next cruise. These are small and easy to pack - so it won’t take up too much space in your suitcase. Perfect for families traveling together as well!

One very popular item for traveling - and every day wear honestly - is a belt bag. These small cross-body purses are perfect for keeping all of your essentials in one convenient location.

Regardless of where you’re cruising, you should definitely plan to pack sunscreen. Those planning to spend time on the beach or chilling on the pool deck will especially want to make sure to pack plenty of sunscreen. I love to travel with sunscreen that I can wear on my face daily, such as the Unseen Sunscreen from Supergoop! You can snag 20% off select SuperGoop products during the Prime Day sale, which is a great deal!

If you’re concerned about seasickness during your cruise - or you’re prone to motion sickness - you should plan to pack medication. Dramamine is one of the most popular seasickness medications. For Prime Day, you can get a great deal on Dramamine Chewables for Kids for 30% off. This medication is highly rated with nearly all 5-star reviews and would be easy for kids to take.

• Link: Dramamine Kids Chewable, Motion Sickness Relief, Grape Flavor, 8 Count, 3 Pack
• Price: $9.79 (Originally $13.99)

You can also purchase the original Dramamine medication for your cruise, which is on sale for Prime Day as well. Even though I am not prone to seasickness, I always pack Dramamine when cruising in case of an emergency.

• Link:  Dramamine Original, Motion Sickness Relief, 36 Count
• Price: $8.39 (Originally $11.99)

Another interesting item to bring on a cruise that I’ve seen many people rave about is an insulated coffee mug with a lid. If you’re a coffee or tea drinker, you will typically need to use the small coffee cups provided by the cruise line in the buffet area. These cups are easy to spill, especially if you want your coffee to go.

If you have the space for an insulated coffee mug, you can take coffee with you easily from the buffet and keep it warm. Those going on cold-weather cruises like Alaska, Iceland, and Norway might especially appreciate having an insulated mug to take in the sights from the chilly top deck. This one is on sale for 44% off and comes highly recommended!

When Royal Caribbean spent $165 million in upgrades to Oasis of the Seas, along with new water slides, restaurants and activities, the ship debuted a much enhanced and upgraded retail offer.

In coordination with Starboard Cruise Services, eight retail areas on three decks were refurbished and expanded across more than 7,000sq ft. These cover key categories including fine watches & jewellery, fashion jewellery, beauty & fragrance, a destination shop, branded merchandise, apparel and leather, plus a dedicated John Hardy location.

Among the retail highlights is What Goes Around Comes Around, featuring curated luxury brands from around the world, including Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Gucci.

The destination-inspired Island Market aims to bring “the spirit of the Caribbean” to life. Encouraging discovery, the space’s vibrant props and colourful cards tell the stories of the talents behind brands such as Debbie Katz with coastal-inspired beachwear; Tagua, a colourful modern jewellery line; and Marcela Cofre, known for crafting colourful glass designs and jewellery.

In fine watches, the Swiss timepieces offer includes Hublot, TAG Heuer, Breitling and Longines, among others.

The first dedicated John Hardy shop in the Royal Caribbean fleet features the jeweller’s handcrafted collections inspired by Balinese jewellery-making traditions. Adding an experiential twist, John Hardy’s Sail to Bali is a hands-on workshop where guests learn the eight-step Balinese jewellery-making traditions that John Hardy employs.

The first Tiffany & Co. at sea has opened on Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas.

Sue Karalun shared this photo of the brand new store that opened on the ship earlier today.

Tiffany & Co. store is available for guests to shop at in the Central Park neighborhood of the ship, and replaces the Britto store that used to be in this location.

The Tiffany & Co. boutique will extend 875 square feet and feature meticulous attention to detail and noble materials, including marble, glossy lacquers, polished metals, cerused walnut paneling, velvet drapery and upholstered walls. 

“Nothing can compare to the Oasis-class vacation experience, a testament to Royal Caribbean’s 40 year legacy of innovation,” said Mark Tamis, senior vice president, Hotel Operations, Royal Caribbean International. “Tiffany & Co. is a distinguished global luxury brand and having a boutique on board will truly enrich the premium onboard experience for our guests. From surprising your loved one with a timeless keepsake to popping the question with the perfect engagement ring, what better way to remember a cruise adventure of a lifetime.”
