Nautical themed Tote Bags, Beach Bags. Carry-ons, and Other Travel Bags

When I think of Nautical Themed Tote Bags, I think about taking them on a cruise. But nautical tote bags are quite popular among not only cruisers, but also boaters, and other travelers.

I also see people carrying them out and about town, as well as to the beach. So, the ones on this page might be good gift ideas.

Also, if you are thinking about booking a cruise, or know of someone who is, a nautical tote or a giid travel bag is a must. I hope you'll enjoy the ones I've gathered onto this page.

I have some cruise packing tips for you, too. Just several very general things to think about if you are planning your first cruise.

Fun Fishies Tote

Here's a large, sturdy tote in a cute and lively fish print that's sure to please any beach comber or sea lover.
19.5" x 10.5" big, and a huge 8" deep!

Tuck tjos your luggage for a cruise or on vacation. You'll be ready for shopping when the ship docks in a port, or for a fun day on a tropical beach.

October Hill Livin' Large Oh! Everything Tote Shopping Bag, Fish School, Extra Large 10-1/2-Inch by 19-1/2-Inch

Amazon Price: $26.50 (as of 02/23/2012)Buy Now

This tote is big enough for your beach supplies, and because it's rated for up to a 75 pound load, it's even strong enough for toting books.

Because it's made of poly woven material, you can take it to the beach one day, wipe it clean, and take it shopping the next.

Cruise Packing Tip #1

Pack for the Afternoon and Evening in your Carry-on

type=tPersonalized Cruise BagWhen you cruise, you'll check all your luggage except your carry-on(s) at the pier before boarding. Your checked luggage will arrive at your stateroom a few hours later.

In you carry-on be sure you pack all your medications, small valuables, electronics and anything you may need for the afternoon and early evening. Especially if you have chosed early seating for dinner, there is a possibility that all of your bags may not arrive before time to dress for dinner.

If you plan on getting some sun, or taking a dip in the ship's pool that first afternoon, you'll want your bathing suit and cover-up in your carry-on, as well.

Cruise Packing Tip #2

Cross-Pack

type=Anchor-Messenger-BagExcept for your carry-on(s), you will check all your luggage at the pier before boarding. Your checkecd bags will be delivered to your stateroom several hours later. And, they may not all arrive at once. One bag may be later than the others by a couple of hours.

Cross-pack with your cruising companion.

For example -
If you are traveling with your husband, pack one full change of clothes for him in your bag, and one complete change for you in his bag.
That way, should his bag be late arriving, you'll have something in your bag for him to wear. And vice versa.

Cruise Packing Tip #3

DON'T Fill Those Bags!

You'll bring back more than you take with you. Pack light. I know it's hard to do, but try!
I pack a LOT lighter than I did on my first cruise, but even after 35 or so cruises, I always come back with something I didn't wear.

It seems like when you get ready to pack to leave the ship, things never fit into your luggage as nicely as they did on the front end. PLUS, you'll have the inevitable souvenirs, even if it's only a couple of T-Shirts.

Your best bet is to use expandable luggage - the kind that zips out to create additional room. You might also consider packing an empty canvas carry in your luggage just in case.
