How to pack

Here are a few very basic tips to assist you with knowing how to pack for a cruise.

• Use your carry-on luggage to pack your tickets, documents, camera, computer, medication and any other important items.
• Also bring a change of clothing and a swimsuit in your carry-on luggage as sometimes it takes a few hours to get your checked luggage delivered to your stateroom and you do not want to miss out on anything while awaiting those bags.
• Wear your heaviest and bulkiest clothing so save room in your luggage for other items and to cut down on the burden you must carry.
• Pack heavy items such as shoes in the bottom of your suitcase and on top of those items pack your trousers with the legs hanging outside of the suitcase. Then pack your other items into the bag and finish by carefully folding your pants legs over everything to avoid unnecessary wrinkles and creases in your trousers.
• Turn your outer garments inside out and put them in dry cleaning bags to minimize wrinkles.
• Bring an empty soft sided bag for souvenirs you might purchase on your trip.
• Be sure to find out if your cruise line has a weight limit. Even if they do not, remember you have to haul your bags to and from your house to the cruise ship.
• Mark you luggage with a bright strap or colored yarn to make it easier to find and less likely to be taken by mistake by someone else.
• If you are traveling with a companion, be sure to mix your items in your checked luggage, that way if there are any delays or your baggage gets lost both of you will have something to wear.

Packing for a cruise can be a bit of a task, but if you pay attention to the suggestions listed above, you can pack some of your cares away

Bon voyage and be sure to enjoy yourself!
