Don’t over pack. OK, we’re done!
Seriously, the key to enjoying a cruise is not to over pack. Our rule of thumb, pack enough clothes for one-half the length of your trip. So, for a 7-day cruise, pack four days worth of clothes. Remember, if you like to participate in the formal nights on your ship, you’ll also need to bring (or rent for men) the necessary duds.
Also, it is important to remember the majority of cruise line staterooms DO NOT offer a great deal of storage space for luggage. Minimizing your packing also helps minimize the bag-drag as well as the cash outlay for tips.
All major cruise lines offer laundry service and we find the service fairly priced and timely. Usually plan on one day service. Your cabin steward is the point of contact to assist. When you compare the price of the laundry service to the highway robbery being perpetrated by the airlines for luggage, it makes sense to pack lighter.
