Packing
To better help you prepare for your vacation, here are some guidelines on what to pack. And though your own taste, interests and destinations will determine what you pack, you’ll need three types of clothing: casual shipboard attire or day wear, comfortable apparel for sightseeing and evening wear.
What to Pack
Whether on the ship or in a port of call, stylish resort wear is fine for both men and women. For warmer climates, this includes walking shorts and polo shirts, swim suits and cover-ups, lightweight slacks or skirts, and a light sweater. When visiting cooler climates, casual clothing that can be easily layered for warmth or comfort is recommended, along with a raincoat or umbrella, waterproof hat and gloves.
On all cruises, it’s wise to bring along comfortable, rubber-soled shoes, hat, sunglasses and a good sunscreen. Remember to pack any prescription medications or other personal care items you’ll need.
