6 cruise-approved sun hats you can buy at Walmart — all under $16!

Looking forward to a cruise you have coming up this summer? Good for you! Cruises make great getaways because you often get to visit multiple destinations. Even better, many of your meals are included, so you can spend money on the things that matter... like souvenirs at all the cool places you dock.

Packing for a cruise isn't something you should do the night before. If you want to be prepared, you need to think ahead and make a shopping list. Several different outfits with coordinating sandals are essential for the different activities, and so is a sizeable sun hat that protects your face from the sun's rays. The heat can be intense by the pool or on the boat's top deck, so you shouldn't leave your room without a good hat.

If you don't already have a go-to sun hat you love wearing, head over to Walmart. I was recently shopping for a topper for an upcoming vacation, and I was pleasantly surprised to find so many great styles I'm excited to wear all summer long. The best part? I could buy multiple because the prices are so good — I'm talking cute hats starting at just $5! Don't believe me? Check out the six cruise-ready picks below.
