👗 HOW MANY OUTFITS PER DAY?

Most cruisers go through 2–3 outfits daily:

→ Daytime outfit for exploring or lounging

→ Swimsuit or cover-up for pool or beach

→ Evening outfit for dinner or shows

Mix-and-match pieces help you create more outfits without overpacking.

👙 BATHING SUITS: Bring 2–3 swimsuits so one can dry while you wear another. Cover-ups are great for walking around the ship.

🧥 DON’T FORGET LAYERS: Even in the Caribbean, ships can be chilly indoors or on the breezy ship deck at night. A light cardigan, hoodie, or shawl comes in handy for cooler evenings or in the theater.

👠 EVENING WEARYou don’t need formalwear every night, but pack:

→ Casual dinner outfits

→ One dressier option (especially for elegant or formal night)

→ Comfortable shoes you can still walk in

🥿 MULTIPLE SHOE OPTIONS: Flip-flops or sandals for the pool, comfy walking shoes for port days, and something nicer for evenings. Shoe bags help keep everything organized.

🎉 THEME NIGHTS ONBOARD: Many cruises have fun theme nights, like “80’S NIGHT” or “WHITE PARTY.” Pack at least one outfit for themed evenings to join in the fun.

🎒 BAGS: A packable day bag, backpack, or beach bag is perfect for excursions and carrying essentials like sunscreen, sunglasses, and a reusable water bottle.

🌊 BEACH AND PORT DAYS: Items like inflatable floats, snorkel gear, water shoes, and a waterproof phone pouch make enjoying the water and exploring the shore much more convenient.

🧴 REEF-SAFE SUNSCREEN: Many Caribbean ports require reef-safe sunscreen to protect coral reefs. Look for sunscreens labeled reef-friendly and free of oxybenzone and octinoxate.

PLANNING AHEAD AND PACKING SMART MAKES IT EASY TO ENJOY YOUR CRUISE TO THE FULLEST, FROM SUNNY DAYS AT THE BEACH TO FUN EVENINGS ONBOARD.
