what do you wish you had/hadn't packed?

Breakfast and lunch are casual attire. We have worn shorts and t-shirts.

 

What about dinner on casual nights? Exactly how casual is casual?

On most lines, casual for dinner means slacks and a golf type knit shirt or a short sleeved cotton shirt. Wearing shorts or jeans and T-shirts is discouraged.

Thanks for the wonderful insight! What voltage/wattage are the outlets? Do I need an adapter for the plugs? Where do I buy bio-degradable suntan lotion?

 

I look forward to everyone's help! :D

Be sure to take various sizes of Zip-Lock plastic bags. I don't know about other lines, but you can't find a plastic bag on a Princess ship. I wish I'd had a couple to make ice packs out of when I fell down some stairs and sprained BOTH my ankles!!! :eek:

And make sure to bring your own camera, even if it's the disposable type. Whatever you do, DO NOT BUY THE ONES ON THE SHIP! They sound like a fairly okay deal price-wise, but take TERRIBLE photos!!!

I copied the deck plans before I left and found myself referring to these often when I wanted to go somewhere on the ship, especially the first day or so.

Wow, sounds like the common thread is 'too much clothing' and 'too many shoes'!

 

For those of you who mentioned hand-washing things: how did you hang them to dry afterwards? Is it possible to rig a short clothesline? Do I need to pack rope or clothespins?

 

:)Most ships have a pull out clothesline in the shower.

 

Also, I heard they supply you with beach towels --- does this mean the same towel all week, or do they change them out like they would your bath towels at a hotel?

:)Most ships will exchange your towel each time you use it.

This last cruise I wish I brought a small sewing kit. Twice I needed it.

My wife can't cruise without her floss!! It's a MUST!!

Wow, I'm glad I decided to check out this thread. I will be taking my 1st cruise in March and you all gave me some helpful and much needed tips. So thank you!
