What to Pack on Your Caribbean
Cruise Vacation
 |
Are you struggling with what
to take on your cruise vacation? Here are some things I have
learned about packing for a cruise; I hope the information
is helpful.
Of course we all have our own preferences about what we need and
want on a cruise vacation. And I personally like to pack light so I don’t
have to handle too much luggage.

I think about packing in threes and adjust up or down depending on the item
(for a one week cruise). For example, I might pack three pairs of shorts and
three t-shirts and three bathing suits. Increase the amount of short and
t-shirts if you plan on spending more time exploring than swimming or
sunning, and decrease the bathing suits. Or vice versa.
This works for dresses as well. Pack a formal dress, a sundress and perhaps
a skirt to wear with various tops. You can adjust this up or down if you
want too. For men this means a suit, long pants and button down shirts. Now
you are ready for those fabulous dinners.
Think about what to wear in cooler weather. You will want to pack a light
sweater or jacket and perhaps a packable raincoat.
Water shoes or water sandals are helpful for those beaches that are rocky or
have a lot of coral. Of course don’t forget sunscreen, it will be expensive
if you have to buy it there. Include sunglasses, a bag for the beach or for
shopping, and after sun lotion. A separate cover-up or two is great to have.
Remember your prescription medication; pack them in your carry-on. You may
want to include seasickness medicine just in case. You can buy it on the
cruise ship or at the infirmary if you need it. I usually pack some
anti-diarrhea medicine and anti-inflamatories as well. Make sure they are
appropriate for you and your medical status.
Other things to think about are small binoculars for possible whale or
dolphin watching. You may want to include a Cassette player, MP3 player, or
ipod for music on the beach or on ship sunning. I like to take some
paperback books for casual reading as well. Don’t forget your passport or
other important papers. Some people like a special small packet to carry all
of them in.
Cruise ships will have shops to purchase casual and dress clothes, bathing
suits, sunscreen, souvenirs and other items. Generally you will pay a little
more, but the shopping can be fun. I try to plan on having a little extra
space in my luggage for items I purchase to take home.
Most of all pack a positive and fun attitude! You are going to have a great
vacation on your cruise. The cruise line will do all they can to make this
your best vacation ever
