Ideas for gifts for a friend going on a cruise?

Has she cruised before? If not, I have some suggestions for some easy inexpensive ideas.

No, first timer

Useful things would be portable chargers, USB charging block, metallic hooks, a pop-up clothes hamper, or travel toiletries bag.

Fun things would be magnets for their stateroom door, clothes, hats, gift card for the cruise line, lanyards for their cruise cards, or themed gifts for where they're going.

I agree that food is not necessary, but a bottle of wine or some beer would be nice if they don't have a drink package. Bottled water is also useful if they're doing excursions and want to bring it.

I like the CruiseTipsTV Amazon shop for cruise-specific shopping.

She splurged for drinks package, I think she'll have what she likes.

What about a gift card for the cruise line? My son has given me gift cards when he knows I am cruising and I love that. Once on board, you can apply the card to your account. She could use it for specialty dining, shopping on board, the spa, etc. Just a thought.

NCL does not allow any beverages except wine to be brought onboard (and there is no bottled water onboard).

You can order packages of boxed water on NCL. I'm not sure if you can gift someone a case of water the same way you can a bottle of wine or plate of strawberries.

A nightlight that’s motion activated for the cabin bathroom, it’s so dark if you have to go potty in the middle of the night. This is the one I have and it works great to hang it on a shelf or towel bar in the bathroom. It works like a charm, the flex arm thats meant to hold it on a toilet bowl makes it easier to hook on. Some ships have started putting nightlights in their bathrooms but not all of them have it. Nothing worse than being blinded by bright lights going to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I have also accidentally turned on all the cabin lights too in the middle of the night because a lot of time the switches are right next to each other by the door outside the bathroom.

They also make nightlights that double as a USB charging port.
