Portable Fan for the Cabin - We never go anywhere without our fan. It’s great for white noise and creating airflow in the cabin. We love this one because you can hook it onto things, and it runs on USB—no extra cables needed! Pair it with a long USB wire for maximum comfort. USB-Charging Portable Fan - Hot port days can be stifling, and even onboard it can get stuffy. A small, rechargeable fan is one of those things you don’t think you need… until you really do. Ear Plugs - Ships creak.

These ships are large enough to offer a variety of activities, dining options, and entertainment, but without the chaos of mega-ships. Celebrity Cruises and Holland America both offer ships in this size category, giving you a good balance between onboard fun and relaxation.
