    We just checked for the warm insulated jackets that can turn into an airplane pillow and the only sizes still available are large, extra large and extra extra large.  They are located at the store on deck 7 across from the Wheelhouse Bar.  If one of those sizes works for you, they will hold one for you in the back but only if we can give them your size and name.  I’m thinking that if you don’t want to give us your full name, you could give us your size, first name and cabin number and we will pass it to them to hold a jacket for you.

    Oh my gosh that would be amazing! Would they be able to hold a large and an extra large? Not sure which one would fit. I will go as soon as the shops open on sailing day - name is Genevieve LeBlanc 🙂

    Have been fortunate to do this route twice, in Dec 2022 and Dec 2023, so I've been able to test out my packing choices twice.   The trick is to have enough stuff to feel comfortable outside at all times, but without taking up a lot of volume or weight in the suitcase.

     

    An ultralight packable down jacket is a great choice. If you have a waterproof windbreaker that you can layer over it when it's windy or wet or extra chilly (and split up for use in milder weather further north), even better.  A lightweight polar fleece tuque that covers the ears and a pair of lightweight polar fleece gloves or mitts are also good to pack.   If you're planning on spending extended periods of time on deck or on a balcony, lightweight thermal base layers help.  They don't take up much packing room, and can be combined with your regular wardrobe to add warmth.   And a couple of pairs of thermal socks are helpful too.

     

    For people who don't want to pack down jackets, Princess Shops onboard does sell an ultralight down jacket that stuffs into its own travel pillow. They're reasonably priced, and friends who bought them seem satisfied with them.

    Do you happen to know how much the jackets are on board? Thanks
