There’s nothing quite like a trip to the dollar store for cruise shopping.
In this episode we’re taking a virtual trip to the dollar store. Shopping has always been a great way for us to get amped up for a cruise, but we always have to be smart about spending. Dollar stores can be a good option for this. Since we can’t get out now, we thought a virtual trip via podcast might be fun.
We’ve put together a companion article about a trip to the dollar store, and 10 awesome dollar store finds for a cruise, but here is a quick look at that list:
Travel sized first aid kit
- Strong magnets
- Toiletries and sunscreen
- Cabin decorations
- Cabin organization stuff
- Tealights and nightlights
- Clips of all kinds
- Travel sized popup hamper
- Hand sanitizer
- Shower cap
It doesn’t stop there
Stopping at 10 items is HARD. We could go on all day about the treasures that await you at the dollar store. Here are a few other goodies you may want to consider:
- Snacks
- Books
- Pill Cases
- Flashlights
- Pens & Highlighters
- Games & Crosswords (for adults and kids)
- Magnetic white boards
- Accordion-style wallets/folders for receipts
- Travel Water Bottles
- Toys
- Snacks

- Love this podcast - so many tips!November 8, 2023 by Berrmic from United States
I’ve listened to many cruise related podcasts and this is the best by far. So many wonderful tips! I’ve become a carry-on only traveler because of CTTV and love being able to avoid the long walk to retrieve my luggage. I took the cruise line personality quiz on the CTTV website and we absolutely loved our first Holland America cruise. Much better fit than our previous cruises. I am always going back to previous episodes to pick up tips and advice I may have missed. Thank you CTTV!

- Best podcast ever!!September 2, 2023 by Orla H. from United States
I started listening to the podcast about a month ago. They are so helpful for anyone who is taking a cruise, first or 50th. I’m going on my second cruise soon and just from listening I booked another! Thanks so much for giving me so many tips for my next cruise.
