Packing Tips!

A good friend of mine stumbled upon a wonderful site about cruise tips today and sent it my way! The site is called "The Cruise Outlet," and it lists a lot of great tips about all different aspects of cruising. I will be referring to this site for the next few days, highlighting various tips in various categories. Today's category: "What to Wear."

Coming from someone who ALWAYS overpacks (seriously, I'll pack six different outfits for a one night stay at a friend's house...no joke), I find this specific topic particularly interesting and important to address! According to thecruiseoutlet.com, it's important to bring several different types of outfits, as passengers typically change their clothes several times throughout each day while cruising. I've decided to pack one or two casual outfits, including nice jeans and button-down shirts, as well as one or two business casual outfits which include dress pants and nice shirts. Finally, I plan to bring one suit for the "Dinner with the Captain," evening, which I've heard about from several friends and colleagues who are veteran cruisers. I'm also planning to pack comfortable clothes such as sweats and t-shirts, two pairs of swimming trunks, and a hoodie or two, in case the air conditioning makes the ship a little cold at night, which was another tip I picked up from browsing thecruiseoutlet.com

Do any of you have any other suggestions or tips about how much/little to pack, and what types of outfits to bring? Let me know! :)

  1. It's always good to have options! The good thing about going somewhere warm is that most of your clothes are light and pack easily into a suitcase! :))
