Table of Content
Now that we know all the Zumba Cruise 2018 essentials. Lets talk about them in detail.
Travel Outfit and back
The first you have to do is to decide what to wear while you are travelling to Miami. If in case, you live in Miami then you have nothing to worry about.
You can wear casual and reach the boarding point but if you stay outside Miami then you have to wear something light because you would not want to tire yourself out before boarding the Zumba Cruise.
Similarly, you have to pack something light and casual when you are going back from the Cruise. Something light and relaxing must be packed. The last night at the sea must be relaxing without any stress. So, pack something light for the last night when you are heading back to Miami.
An outfit per session

You are going to spend around 4 days and 5 nights at the sea. There is going to be a lot of Zumba Dance workout sessions on the cruise and they are going to be longer then usual because this is the Ultimate Zumba Dance Party. You will want more even if the sessions are over because of live music on board and around 3,400 people shaking it with you.
There are going to be approximately 10 to 15 Zumba Workout sessions on board and you are going to sweat a lot during the sessions. You would not want to wear the same smelly clothes all the time. Would you?
Even if there is a laundry service on board it will take some time to wash your workout clothes. So, it is necessary to have different workout clothes for different dance workout sessions.
Used clothes carrier
In the list of Zumba Cruise 2018 essentials, the used clothes carrier will be a big help. Once you have worn and danced in your Zumba Workout Outfits you would not want to place the used clothes with your fresh ones.
Find yourselves a hamper in which you can carry your used clothes and place it separately so that it doesn’t get mixed up with your fresh clothes.
Zumba Club Outfit
There will be times that you will think that you are in a night club. The DJ will turn up the music in the club and you will be bound to shake your hips in sync with the music. All that being said, you will need a club outfit because it will turn out to be one of the Zumba Cruise 2018 essentials.
You can wear yoga pants all you want in the workout sessions but when you enter a club you have to be a bit classy, a bit sassy and a most of all comfortable.
Choose an outfit which looks classy as a club outfit but it is as comfortable as Yoga pants.
Swimwear
You are going to hit a lot of beaches on this journey. From Costa Mayo to Grand Cayman islands, there are going to be sandy beaches and waves crashing all the time. For this purpose you should pack a at least 3 to 4 swimwear outfits with you.
You cannot wear casuals or workout outfits to the beach. Moreover there are pools and whirlpools on the Navigator of the Seas. There is water surfing available on the ship. You need to be in perfectly relaxed mood if you want to chill out in the pool or at a beautiful beach. Hence, a swimwear is a must in Zumba Cruise 2018 itinerary.
Sandals and Flipflops
What footwear goes with swimwear? You already know it is Sandals and Flipflops because you are ready to chill out at the beach. Pack at least a couple of sandals and a pair of flipflops with you. You can’t be wearing workout shoes or even casual shoes all the time.
You are here to relax remember? Include these in your Zumba Cruise 2018 essentials.
When you are chilling at the lounge or having a drink at the Latin Jazz Bar you would want to wear sandals or flipflops because it’s relaxing and you look chill just wearing them.
Multiple pair of Shoes
Shoes carry a lot of importance in the List of things to pack for Zumba cruise 2018 because first, cool shoes make you look really cool and second of all, you can cannot do Zumba without them.
When you do Zumba for at least 2 to 3 hours a day you are going to sweat a lot and your feet are going to sweat automatically. You already know what happens when your feet start sweating? They start to smell and can cause an infection and can spread the stink. Carrying multiple pair of shoes can help you get rid of this problem.
For the Ultimate Zumba Fitness Experience, you need to pack Best Zumba Dance Workout Shoes.
The other reason you should pack 2 to 3 pair of shoes because when you do Zumba for 2 to 3 hours a day it put a lot of pressure on your shoes. Your shoes might get torn and that won’t help if you have only one pair of shoes.
Lounge and Fancy clothing
Along with Zumba there is going to be a lot of relaxing time on the Navigator of the Seas. There is Cafe Promenade where people pick a table and order Starbucks coffee or a sandwich through out the day. It is a Cafe so you might need casual or Lounge clothing on this spot.
On the fine dining options, there is the main Dining Hall which looks nothing less then a 5 star hotel. In this hall, you will get multi-level ambience, world class cuisine and extraordinary personal service from a dedicated staff.
You would want to look your best when you enter in such a Fancy place. So, I suggest that you pack a Fancy clothes in your Zumba Cruise 2018 essentials if you plan to eat at this marvelous place.
Toiletries
Now, in Toiletries there are several things included for you to pack. The list of Zumba Cruise 2018 essentials doesn’t end so quickly.

Your skin can be damaged by the sun and you have to consult a doctor after the trip. A must have in your Zumba Cruise 2018 essentials checklist.
