Is one enough?

[LEXIpoo]

I consider my bathing suit ( or suit bottom) like underwear and would never consider wearing again without a proper washing and drying. The suggestion of a simple rinse at a pool shower and sitting in the suit while it dries will not sufficiently clean the suit for me.

 

To the OP – if you plan on being in a swimsuit at least two days in a row, then it would be best to have 2 suits. If you wear a two piece suit, then perhaps just a second coordinating bottom will work.

exactly. that's pretty gross.

 

OP maybe you can buy another swimsuit bottom that matches your top so you can switch it out.

Another thing to consider is what if something happens to your swimsuit and you only have one? It's not like there's a wide selection available on board if you need another one.

Just bought my second swimsuit at Ross. I have had little need for spare swimwear until we started cruising. Hard to believe, $15 for Calvin Klein.

This is the style, but in a solid brown, no spots.

I always bring a pair of swim shorts in a solid color to coordinate with my tops.

[Esjohnso]

I always bring two. As a curvy/busty gal, I find that the more supportive swimsuits can take a much longer time to dry. And I strongly suggest that you don't wear your favorite, new, expensive suit in the hot tub. I don't know if it is the heat or if they have more chlorine, but I have ended up with bleached and faded suits that way more than once.

[WAHMto5]

I would bring at least two.

Defiantly agree with the TJ Max, Ross, Marshalls comment. I know TJ Maxx has lots of suits.

I bought this one at JCP last week.

Then the shorts that they show on the site to go with it. I normally wear a size 6 in clothes but in swimsuits, I wear a ten because I am long waisted.

[Gingee]

I got the shorts to match (kind of a pinky peach color). Then I got black shorts similiar to go with a purple top that I got at Target. These are both shorts to swim in - not wear other places.

TJ Maxx and other discount retailers don't usually have a great (or even good:rolleyes:) selection of plus clothing. Mine don't, at least. Sometimes Ross has more of a selection, though I've not noticed a great choice for swimsuits. Obviously, selection at discount stores varies widely (I notice that even among the stores withing 40-50 miles of my house). They certainly have good prices if you can find what you want, but if you're plus size (or on the border, as I am) there's not always a great return for the time invested in searching it out......
