4merlurker Posted July 18, 2005 #1 Share Posted July 18, 2005 :confused: With salt water pools and swimming in the ocean how many suits do you all pack. Do you rinse them and let air dry or what? I'm thinking "stinky" suits after a day or two:eek: Yuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lszu Posted July 18, 2005 #2 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I usually bring three. I rinse them out in the sink and let them hang dry after wearing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klauer Posted July 18, 2005 #3 Share Posted July 18, 2005 At least two, one to wash and another to wear. If you have more, I would take them -- swimsuits only take up a little room! Also a cover-up that is more like a dress than a little sarong is nice if you want to go shopping, have lunch in the dining room, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelmarj Posted July 18, 2005 #4 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I always bring at least 3. I do rinse them out, but I know in the Caribbean where it is more humid they seem to take longer to dry. I hate putting on a damp swimsuit. Also, there's been occasion where we go to port in a swimsuit, change to clothes but then go swimming again back on the ship. Like I said, I hate putting on an already wet suit. Besides they don't take up that much room in the suitcase so 3 is my minimum, but 4 is most likely.

caviargal Posted July 18, 2005 #6 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I normally pack three suits for a 7 night cruise. I pack one for the hottubs that I do not care if it fades (strong chemicals), my newest for going to the beach, and another for the pools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueHerons Posted July 18, 2005 #7 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I packed six bathing suits for a four day cruise and wore every one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachelD Posted July 18, 2005 #8 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I am bringing 4 bathing suits, but some are mix and match so I have more options. I have some bikinis that are for strictly laying out and then some that are for more active activities. I will rinse them out and hang them to dry in the shower on the ship and then when I get home, hand wash them really well to get the salt and seawater out thoroughly.

Sunrunner3 Posted July 18, 2005 #9 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I'm taking 4 suits for a 14 day vacation (7 day cruise and 7 days florida) Cause there's nothing worse then putting a wet bathing suit back on!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjules Posted July 18, 2005 #10 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I'm taking a one piece for swimming with the sting rays, a tankini for the beach at Cozumel and a 2-piece bikini for sunning on board ship. I may take an extra in case I change my mind somewhere along the way! Last cruise I took 3 suits, but one had 2 different bottoms, so it was almost like having 4 suits, since the top dried faster than the bottoms.

Happy ks Posted July 19, 2005 #12 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Bathing suits are the one thing I don't really skimp on, they take almost no room in a suitcase. I take at least 4 or 5, one of which is what I call a sacrificial suit, for the hot tubs. We are in our suits for much of the day on sea days. On port days, we many times come back to the ship early and lay by the pool without all the crowds. I don't mind wearing a suit twice during a cruise, but it's like clothes, you want a little variety. I hand wash them in the sink and they will take quite a while to dry, at least a full day. If you have a balcony, you can take along some clothes pins and hang them on the chair, clipping securely. No laundry hanging off the balcony, please :rolleyes: .

Ehpride Posted July 20, 2005 #13 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Let's see...I'm planning on my black 2 piece, striped bikini (good for hot tub), new suit with 2 different bottoms and red Newport News swimuit. So that's 4 but I can wear 2 of the tops with 2 different bottoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
