Let’s be real: when you think about cruise packing, you probably jump straight to swimsuits, sandals, and sunscreen. But let me put you on to something that’s just as important — your sleepwear. Yes, sis, your pajamas.
The Moment That Sparked Cruise Dolls 💭
The entire reason Cruise Dolls was born started the night before my cruise. It was 6 PM. My suitcase was half-packed, and my mom hit me with:
“So what are you sleeping in on this cruise?”
I froze. I had no cute pajamas. No time to order anything online. All that was left open was Target, Walmart, and Rainbow. I ran through all three, and the best I could find was a pink onesie with champagne bottles. I grabbed it — not because I loved it, but because it was the best option in a pinch.
And in that moment, I thought: Why is this so hard? Why can’t I find pajamas that are cute, fun, and cruise-perfect?
That’s how Cruise Dolls started — with the mission to make your vacation moments match the vibe. Because you don’t want to show up to a cruise like you just rolled out of bed. You want to show up photo-ready, even at bedtime.
Cruise Packing Must-Haves (And What Most People Forget)
Here’s your go-to list of what to pack — with no fluff, no stress, and all the essentials.
✅ Clothes & Outfits
-
Swimsuits (2–3 options for pool, excursions, and photos)
-
Day outfits (dresses, shorts, rompers — think breathable but cute)
-
Dinner fits (every cruise has a formal night—bring at least one glam look)
-
Excursion wear (sneakers, sunhat, crossbody bag)
-
Cover-ups and shawls
-
Sleepwear: THIS IS YOUR MOMENT, sis.
This is where the Cruise Dolls onesie comes in.
✨ Why You Need a Cruise Dolls Onesie
You wouldn’t sleep over at a guy’s house for the first time in your ex’s t-shirt and old panties, right? A cruise is a grown-girl sleepover. Whether you're rooming with your bestie or a group of friends — the matching onesie moment is undefeated.

Final Tip
You can get away with forgetting a tank top or a pair of earrings. But the one thing people will remember — and you’ll wish you had — is that one moment you were glowing in the hallway or balcony in your matching Cruise Dolls onesie.
Because even on vacation, a little effort at bedtime makes everything cuter.
