Packing list

[Henry43]

How soon prior to your cruise do you begin to write your packing list ? I do mine 9 weeks before the cruise .

After this many cruises it has become second nature and we take far less than we did ten years ago.

I would say I make/check the list about three or four days before we leave.

Take care,
Mike

I may make a note or two, but, don't refer to a packing list. I have widdled down what we take with the changing of the baggage regulations, so I want to just make things mix and match,and easy.

I do something similar irrespective of land trip or cruise.

I may alter my wardrobe to take account of climate differences but 80% is roughly the same.

Like Mike I take less and less but I try to work within a 15kg limit for a 14 day trip. I know my luggage allowance is greater but I find I rarely use all the clothes I take.

My packing list has been going on for years! It really doesn't change much unless we're going into cold weather.

Like others, we've cut way back from what we packed for our first (second and third) cruise.

Do you know that people really don't notice what you're wearing unless it's very extreme (not going to happen here!).

We've been on a lot of cruise's and the only person's dress I remember is a lady who dressed as a "fortune teller" through the whole cruise. Even then, I thought she looked nice , just different.
