Thanks David and keep up the great work.

I would like to make it clear that it is not my blog, but a fellow cruiser.

Cheers Frank.

I've just updated my world cruise bloggers list if anyone is looking for blogs.

If anyone knows of any others please reply.

I'll make another list closer to the June 2018 Sea Princess cruise. (I have family on that one, not bloggers though).

Cheers, Judy

Thanks to all re links to blogs, love a good cruise blog. A form of self medication for cruise withdrawal symptoms.:')

Its going to be fun to follow. I am trying to imagine how many cases she will be arriving at the ship with to carry all that she has on the Master Packing List.:rolleyes:

Thats when you appreciate being Elite , for the laundry perk.

Also interested to see that one couple are taking their 2 grandkids with them. What an amazing adventure for the children .

Is the master packing list hers or both, or is it solo? 8 case job. No way all those clothes and shoes are needed for a Princess cruise. Apparently they don't even enforce formal night dress code anymore.:o:(

After coming home a couple of times from a cruise and unpacking , I realised I had taken some gear that I never wore or needed. From then on my packing was very economical....;)

It is amazing what you can get by on....

on the other hand I recall a segment of a World Cruise where it was the talk of the ship that one passenger had booked the stateroom next door and was using it as a walk in robe as she had brought a different outfit for each day.

Thanks Judy.

Certainly a comprehensive list but a lot of the things wouldn't take up to much space, I think 2 or 3 large bags and a carry would manage it.

That's some packing. I think if you could afford a room for your clothes you could probably afford to wear and throw. Saves on laundry.;p

Noticed a couple of blogs for the Amsterdam FedEx 6-8 bags ahead for their worldy. Not sure where you would put in all in an average cabin.

Not sure if still applies, but if you booked the entire HAL World Cruise in certain grades , the fare included the shipping of your luggage from any where in the States to the ship.

Many of the ships store excess baggage, then bring it up to you on request. There is usually a charge for stored baggage, on QM2 last March, loads of cases were stored up in the empty dog kennel area. I saw them as I walked past. When the Brits do a worldy on Cunard/P&O UK, it is not uncommon for them to take 8 or 10 cases for a couple, seen it.;) But then they dress 'flash.'

But you’d need to take enough to throw. So where does it get stored until you whittle it down? Or do you waste precious time each port buying new gear?

Finding an op shop in each port wouldn't be too hard but it probably would take up precious port time.

I donated a dinner suit one time to ye olde Oxfam Shop in Southampton, post cruise, it shrank in the sea air. Some old geezer is probably walking around in it in Hampshire somewhere.:halo:

LOL, I have left clothes all over the world, funniest thing was seeing someone in a shirt and trouser combination that I had left behind nearly 3 months earlier in the South Pacific.:D

Thank You for the blog links :)

Pacific Princess in the Panama Canal today .

Not sure if still applies, but if you booked the entire HAL World Cruise in certain grades , the fare included the shipping of your luggage from any where in the States to the ship.

Yes it still applies. However, I'm not sure whether this service is provided by HAL or passengers' TA. Saw one photo of eight huge suitcases.

Pacific Princess starts her World Cruise today from Los Angeles. 112 days from LA back to LA

Heres the itinerary , up to Singapore , for anyone looking out for her as she passes through our part of the world...
