Fewer Formal Clothes-More Other Clothes?

21 pairs of underwear!!!!!!! Why would you bring that many when you can easily wash them out in the sink. They dry overnight.

I was watching Barbara Walters talk about how she packs for her trips. She only takes 1 pair of underwear. All the girls on The View thought she was nuts but she says she washes them out every night.

One set of PJ's is probably fine, if I need to I can wash them and wear a t-shirt to sleep in until they dry.

I like my undies to be very clean, and I'd rather not send them out or wash them in the sink, so 21 pairs gives me a clean pair every day. Since they are so small and they take up very little space, so packing 21 pairs is, I think, easier.

I have heard of people packing 2 pairs and wearing one. One washing out, one hanging dry, and then being rotated every day.

I actually looked up the airline policy yesterday, since we purchased our tickets before they made the checked baggage restrictions, Continental will allow us 2 checked bags with-out a charge. But since we are going to Barcelona for three days before the cruise I think packing on the lighter side will make the pre-cruise stay easier. We've rented a vacation apartment for three days. Its on the 4th floor of an older building with no elevator.

I am with you 100% on this. I bring plenty since I change all my clothes several times a day while on a cruise....breakfast, lunch, and dinner kind of thing, and they are easy to pack in a baggie inside of shoes. I think only smoking hot water and laundry detergent agitated on the extra heavy plus extra rinse cycle is good enough. :D

I have issues....:o

Well American Airlines announced that they are going to start charging $15 per checked bag. Well I guess I need to start looking for a nudist cruise now.

That may be the only way to go on a trip now.

[FONT=Verdana]I think that is a great idea and it would have the added benefit of speeding screening at the airport and ports. It would also end the endless dress code debates.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]But (and it’s a big butt) wouldn’t Celebrity have to put certain restrictions on aspects of its guests to preserve the ambience of the evening? :eek: :D [/FONT]
