5) What do I pack?
Camera. Sunscreen. Swimsuit. Okay, now that we've got the basics out
of the way, here are a few must-have cruise items that'll help make your
vacation more comfortable, enjoyable and memorable.
On the first day...
For the first day of your cruise, pack a small carry-on bag with your
travel documents, a change of clothes, bathing suit, workout clothes,
and any medications you may need. That way you don't have to wait for
your checked bags to arrive in your stateroom.
Onboard attire...
Shorts, t-shirts, slacks, trousers, casual skirts, blouses and
sundresses are all perfect during the day, whether indoors or out.
For lounging by the pool, pack two bathing suits (an extra suit in case
the other is wet) and a pair of casual shoes (e.g., flip-flops, sandals,
sneakers). You'll also need some casual shorts and a couple of t-shirts
or a cover-up for getting to and from the pool areas.
If you're planning to visit our onboard fitness center, be sure to bring
extra shorts, t-shirts and socks that you won't mind working out in -
plus a pair of tennis or running shoes/sneakers.
For fun...
There are four very important types of books you'll want to consider
packing:
Travel guides - to help you explore new destinations
Poolside pleasures - nothing beats a great read in the sun
Journal - keep an account of your adventure for sharing and reminiscing
Address book - send your friends a postcard to make them jealous
Binoculars are another often forgotten, yet indispensable travel item.
Be sure to pack a pair for magnified excitement onboard and onshore.
Save space...
Be sure to leave some room in your luggage for all those souvenirs and
mementos. Some space-saving ideas include:
Bring shirts and pants/skirts that mix and match, turning three outfits
into five or six
Wear your heaviest shoes during embarkation and disembarkation so
you don't have to pack them
Pack small items inside larger ones for efficiency
Bring an additional empty bag for those acquired extras
For formal nights you'll need cocktail dresses for women, suits and ties
- or tuxedos - for men. And for the smart casual nights bring dresses or
pantsuit for women, jackets for men.
Remember, shorts, T-shirts, and bathing suits are not considered
appropriate attire in the dining rooms at dinner. Casual dress dining is
available nightly in the Windjammer Cafe. And be aware you'll also need
smart casual attire for some of our specialty restaurants.
Royal Caribbean also offers tuxedo rentals for formal dinners and
special occasions.
Onshore attire...
You'll need comfortable walking shoes, as well as a hat and sunscreen
for protection from the sun.And if you'll be touring any museums,
cathedrals or churches, it's always wise to dress conservatively. You may
also want to bring a raincoat, hiking shoes and a travel umbrella. And
don't forget your swimsuit - it may be cool outside but it's always warm
in our Solarium.
