What to Pack (Without Bringing Your Whole Closet!)

🎭 Dress to Impress (Or Not – Your Choice!)👗

Look, formal night isn’t as scary as it sounds:

• Guys: Pack that suit or nice button-down and slacks
  • Pro tip: One nice jacket works for multiple nights!
• Ladies: That cocktail dress you love? Perfect!
  • Or rock a nice jumpsuit – totally works!
• Hot tip: Check how many formal nights your cruise has before overpacking!

☀️ Daytime Cruise Vibes

Keep it casual and comfy:

• Shorts and tees (you’ll live in these!)
• Sundresses (easy to dress up or down)
• Tank tops and cover-ups
• Gym clothes (if you’re ambitious 😉)
• Light jacket (those dining rooms get COLD!)

🏊‍♀️ Pool & Beach Life

Don’t forget the basics:

• 2-3 swimsuits (no one likes putting on a wet suit!)
• Cover-ups (required for the buffet – trust me!)
• Water shoes (those beach rocks are no joke!)
• Hat and sunglasses (sunburn isn’t a good look)

👟 Shoes (The Real MVP)

Your feet will thank me:

• Comfy walking shoes (ports = lots of walking!)
• Dress shoes for formal nights
• Flip flops for pool/beach
• Pro tip: Break in any new shoes BEFORE the cruise!

🏥 The “Just in Case” Stuff

Better safe than sorry:

• Basic meds (Dramamine, pain relievers, tummy stuff)
• Band-aids (those new shoes might betray you)
• Sunscreen (ship prices are CRAZY!)
• Personal care items (pack extra contacts!)

🍷 BYOB (Check Your Cruise Line First!)

Yes, you can bring some drinks!

• Wine: Usually 1-2 bottles per adult
  • Carnival = 1 bottle
  • Royal Caribbean = 2 bottles
• Soda/Water: Check your cruise line
• Pro tip: Pack these in your carry-on!

Quick Packing Hacks:

• Roll your clothes (more space + less wrinkles!)
• Pack outfits by day (no more “what goes with this?”)
• Bring a pop-up hamper (game changer!)
• Pack a small power strip (outlets are limited!)

Remember: You can always do laundry on board, but it’ll cost ya! Pack smart, not heavy! 🧳
