Wind - hand washing?

[napria]

Sorry for the newbie question. We're sailing in the Caribbean in March/April this year and I'm wondering if I should hand wash our swim suits and hang them in the shower to dry? Should I bring packets of hand washing soap and clothes pins? Is there a clothes line in the shower? Is there a better way to take care of the swim suits?

 

Seems like such a basic question, but I honestly don't know what to expect. This is our first cruise in 32 years. Thank you in advance for your help.

There is a retractable clothes line.

If you plan to swim daily, take two swim suits. Nothing worse than putting on a still slightly damp swim suit.

 

Please note: it is NOT the food that will make your clothes feel a bit tighter. It is the salt air that shrinks your clothes.

 

Enjoy your cruise.

Haha! I love that! I'll have to remember if my clothes start feeling a little tight :D

 

Thank you for the answers. I actually have three 2-piece bathing suits I plan to bring (mix and match). But aside from that, I'm challenging everyone in my party to pack lightly enough so no one checks luggage. And I've pared myself down to only 3 pairs of shoes, one pair of which will be on my feet!
