Luggage

If that luggage set you have been using is starting to look a little worse for wear, then investing in a new luggage set may make a lot of sense.

If you can spot a good deal on a luggage set, or perhaps just a new bag to rely on, Black Friday can be a great opportunity to replace your existing bags.

Our picks: GoPenguin Hardside Luggage or TravelPro Luggage Set.  (These links contain an affiliate link, which means I get a commission for purchases made. There is no additional cost to you)

ebook reader

A time-honored tradition on any cruise vacation is to read a book.  While paperbacks are always an option, Black Friday is a great opportunity to pick up a new tablet.

Whether you choose to get a simple reader device, or pick up the latest full-featured tablet, electronics deals are usually plentiful on Black Friday.

New clothes

Take advantage of all the retail stores offering deep discounts on clothing so you can stock up on theme nights and shore excursion activities during your cruise.

There is usually plenty of deals on attire to cover formal night, active wear, swimsuits, walking shoes and more.  You might also look to specific brand names if one or another is specifically targeted for sale.
