1st cruise packing for 10yr

[twinklen01]

Hello- We are goin on our 1st cruise nextweek(monday)-yipeeeeeeee!

I have no clue what to pack especially for my dd10. She has a pretty dressy dress for elegant night. I bought her a lil cover jacket thingy incase MD is cold.

 

What should she wear on causal night to the main diningroom? Jeans or dressy pants?

 

pool-She has 3 bathing suits, towel, flipflops, sunscreen

 

day-shorts, capris, tank tops, and short sleeve blouses, tennis, flipflops

 

night-jeans, blouses, sweater zip up hoody

 

and of course under garments and P.J.s

 

anything else? We are going to Catalina/Ensenada on a 4 night cruise

nextweek Nov 9th-13th

 

not sure if the nights ont he sea will be nice or really cold. We are from So. Calif.

 

Thanks

my DD10 is wearing sundresses or skorts with a shirt, both with a light cardigan, for casual dinner nights.

Most kids will wear shorts during the day, when they're not in a bathingsuit, and slacks or sundress is fine for most dinners.

Pack as you would for any vacation....a cruise doesn't require anything special! If she's going to attend the "formal" night, pack a "party" dress of some sort.

dd will wear black shoes. For the black dress she also has a bolero- i think thats what its called lil jacket thingy. Do i have her wear tights/stocking under white or is there such a thing of nude for kids? I'm not a dress person so i hvae no clue about fashion. I'm a jean girl. Thanks

You said you're from So Cal so probably already know this, but I would make sure to pack cool weather clothes. We've had some pretty cold nights lately and the sea is usually even colder. Catalina seems to run a little cooler than the mainland too. Our weather has been so unpredictable, I wouldn't want you to be left with only summer-type clothes for her to wear.:)
