Selecting a Cruise
When booking your cruise, you want to know a little about each cruise line and the locations where they sail. Doing a little research beforehand will help make your trip more enjoyable. Do you want a party boat, relaxing, more luxury? How many nights are you going to sail? What does each destination offer?
Themes
I highly recommend theme nights for every bachelorette. Having themes picked out first makes it easy to know what you need to pack and plan out what you will do. This simplified the process for an over-packer like myself, and I could pack lighter A Diamond & Her Gems, Death to Her Single Life, and Her Last Disco. We also coordinated bathing suits for the days we spent on the islands. One day was a blackout, and the other was based on the bride’s wedding colors (Orange and Pink)
I prefer to sail with Royal Caribbean. This cruise line goes above and beyond to make sure it delivers excellence.
I recommend getting the Royal Caribbean App so you can look through the itinerary, discover what excursions are available, and see all the activities they have on board.
We also decided to create our own personal itinerary catered to the group of girls we had to make deciding our daily activities much easier.
If you select this cruise line for a Bahamas trip, your itinerary will have a perfect day at Coco Cay. This is their private island, which is good. I highly recommend getting tickets to their adult private beach.
Decorating
Girlies, I know you like decorating and creating picture-perfect backgrounds for special occasions like your bachelorette. Well, guess what? Being on a cruise doesn’t hinder you from doing so! Cruises welcome decorating your doors. (I suggest strong ones for managing banners.)
You may also decorate your room. Cruise lines suggest removing wall decorations and leaving them near the trash can before you disembark; otherwise, you may be charged a fee.
Games
Bring Games! Etsy and Amazon are stocked with Bachelorette-themed games that are always fun to have on hand. We played games every night at dinner to keep the excitement alive. We also brought one to Coco Cay and made it a drinking game to start the party!
The Extras
One thing I loved the most was creating the party goodie bag alongside my co-maid of honor. This is not a must, but it adds something unique to the trip. Below, I have made a list of what we added to our bags. (See first photo for visual)
