Ari & Jacqui Posted June 15, 2004 #1 Share Posted June 15, 2004 From all the posts and suggestions, I think it's impossible to pack light! Here is what I've got listed: duct tape soft sided cooler booze water collapsable laundry basket power strip fan (for sea sickness, the rooms don't get cool enough) bungee cord tobasco sauce VHS tapes for the room ...and that's just to name a few! Then there are the clothes, of course...casual, resort and formal, shoes, hair products, make up, and all the lovely girly stuff. Seems like packing light for a cruise is impossible!!

S.S. Cruisers Posted June 16, 2004 #12 Share Posted June 16, 2004 I always say I'm going to pack light! Baahahaha. I say only 2 suitcases and 1 carry-on. Then proceed to pack the 2 suitcases so full it takes a gorilla to lift them! Than the carry-on gets the excess and my left arm is 3 inches longer than my right by the time we board. Go, have fun and fugetta bout what you didn't bring! You ladies have great cruises.

sea_u_onboard Posted June 16, 2004 #13 Share Posted June 16, 2004 The one thing that I advise is to coordinate your evening outfits around one pair of shoes. You will be surprised how light your luggage feels. -- Cheryl ****Proud member of O.A.T.C.**** Check out my Homepage in my profile for Conquest info 10/99 Fantasy 12/01 Inspiration 03/02 Inspiration 03/03 Conquest 05/04 Rhapsody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathyPem Posted June 16, 2004 #14 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Ditto on the shoes idea. I took one pair of black dress shoes and made sure they matched with each dress for the evening. Made it really easy. Only thing is that next time I will take two pairs that match everything. My feet started hurting after hte first couple of nights as dress shoes arent't he most comfortable. Would have been nice to have different areas of pressure to give my feet a rest. Kathy Mom to Taylor(6), BJ(3, Alison(2) and Mikey(9 months) 6/6/04 Carnival Destiny-MY FIRST CRUISE!

SSSkipper Posted June 16, 2004 #15 Share Posted June 16, 2004 I could never just take one pair of shoes! [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif[/img] You need sandals, flip flops, tennis shoes(if you go to the gym). I take at least 5 pair of shoes and that is probably the minimium.

Neesh and G Posted June 16, 2004 #16 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Just curious - what's the tabasco sauce for? We were just on the Glory...group of 11 indians and nothing was ever spicy enough. We used tabasco all the time. All you had to do was ask for it. I found it amusing that we finished off a brand new bottle at dinner each night.
