Even in the largest villas and suites on a cruise, the
closet space may be less than desirable. Maximize the smaller space with these
great packing tips for those who have sailed the world.
Pick the right
suitcase
Some cruise lines are designing cabins that allow room
underneath beds to accommodate larger bags. It the cabin does not allow this,
pack things in a soft-side bag that can be flattened after you unpack.
Pack a Day Bag
These are great for carrying essentials around the ship and on shore
excursions. Plus, use this as your carry-on bag since your actual luggage may
take a few hours to arrive at your cabin.
Check the Cruise
Ship Dress Code
Most cruise lines have detailed dress codes on their
website. When in doubt, ask us. Most cruise lines now offer a more simplified
dress code although formal nights are still available.
Board the Ship in
Resort Casual Wear
Since it may take some time for your luggage to be
delivered to your stateroom, aim to wear an outfit that may take you from day to nighttime. And pack your day bag with items that you may want to have available
on your first day onboard the ship.
Plan your Vacation
and Pack accordingly
Are you a lounger or will you be hitting every port ready
to walk? Make a list of your activities and pack the additional gear needed so
you are not missing out on an opportunity to experience the destination’s
culture.
Toiletries
Bathrooms are even smaller. Most cruise lines provide the
basic toiletries in travel-size packs such as shampoo, conditioner, and lotion.
Make sure you bring travel-size items that will carry you through the entire
vacation. Consider a hanging bag that can easily be put behind doors to store your toiletries in.
