Cruising to Mexico

This weekend I am going on a short cruise with friends for a friend's birthday. I have only been on one other cruise but I LOVED it! I did a three week Mediterranean cruise with my sister after I graduated college/before she started medical school. You can see the posts on that cruise here. I am excited to sit by the pool (I think they even show movies by the pool at night!) and relax with friends.

My dream packing list:

1. Sweater for cool nights/AC inside: Intarsia sailboat sweater, J.Crew Factory, $45
2. Cute cover up: Captiva cover up, Lilly Pulitzer, $118
3. Easy day (and night) dress: Easy day dress, Boden, $108
4. Striped dress: Blue chalk stripe tee shirt dress, Tuckernuck, $75
5. Top to go with shorts or jeans: Textured pattern top, Old Navy, $30
6. Nautical swim suit: Coastal spirit scoopneck one piece, Lands' End, $89 (available in long and plus sizes too!)
7. Exercise/lounge pants (jogging track around the ship maybe?): Butter me up lobster yoga pants, Devon Maryn, $85
8. Fun book: I just picked up We Were Liars at Target

Besides the basics, what else do you like to bring on cruises?
