acadran Posted June 24, 2013 #2 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Remember there are self serve washers & dryers on board (if you don't mind spending vacation time doing laundry) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor_Poke Posted June 24, 2013 #3 Share Posted June 24, 2013 For us, after 6 cruises we always find that we overpack:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geovet Posted June 24, 2013 #4 Share Posted June 24, 2013 My first couple of cruises I did over pack. Using some of the packing list was helpful, but you tend to take too much. I pack about half as much as I use too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandman Posted June 24, 2013 #8 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Thanks everyone...maybe I am just confusing excitement with nervousness!!! As long as you have your ID, Citizenship docs, and money, you're good to go. Anything else can be fixed. Have a good cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YubaSutter Posted June 24, 2013 #9 Share Posted June 24, 2013 We learned early on to pack half the clothes you think you need and bring twice the cash. Now, I can cruise for 7 days out of a carry on bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehpride Posted June 24, 2013 #13 Share Posted June 24, 2013 That's why there are porters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted June 25, 2013 #14 Share Posted June 25, 2013 We learned early on to pack half the clothes you think you need and bring twice the cash. Now, I can cruise for 7 days out of a carry on bag. Us too. And we still have unworn clothes. *** What we do is decide what luggage we are traveling with, then pack to fill the luggage. If it doesn't fit, it doesn't go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sh1035 Posted June 25, 2013 #17 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Pack whatever you can carry and toss on the shuttle bus if needed. My rule, former mule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccruisequeen Posted June 25, 2013 #18 Share Posted June 25, 2013 3 blouses, 2 pairs of pants, one dress that can be changed with accessories. Outfits can be mixed and matched for different looks My overpacking comes with accessories, the entire Medicine cabinet, and makeup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2excursion Posted June 25, 2013 #19 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I will always overpack. Always! Much better than underpacking. I can't do what so many others do. I will go through 2 shirts a day most days, and they usually can't be worn again without washing. And I don't want to do laundry while on a cruise. Running around outside has a way of stinking up clothes. Don't worry about the amount of luggage. It's better to have too much. Unlike many others, I didn't pack enough on my first several cruises, running out of clean clothes, and have since increased what I take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WetToes Posted June 25, 2013 #21 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Leaving Wednesday on the Splendor!!! Yet I have this anxious feeling and the amount of luggage isn't helping OP - So you over pack, ... who cares? We always over pack. I always bring home clean clothes. So? I'm not packing so that everything is black and white, or whatever. :rolleyes: I'm also not doing laundry on vacation. Of course, ... we drive, if I were flying I guess I'd have to make some changes. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacationmom0103 Posted June 25, 2013 Author #22 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Thanks everyone! I feel better now. k2...

jill5269 Posted June 25, 2013 #25 Share Posted June 25, 2013 OMG, I always over pack! But, I usually wear everything I pack, give or take a couple of shirts. I have to have my options and will not ever do laundry on vacation. I have 17 pairs of shoes with me. Most of them are flip flops and one pair of sneakers for the track, but I change off every day and need nighttime shoes too! I have a big huge suitcase and a medium size one and my shoulder carry on. I just pay porters to lug it around for me. I would go out of my mind with just a couple of outfits. I wish I could, but it's not possible. Going on the Splendor on Wed too, can't wait.
