I'll make another list closer to the June 2018 Sea Princess cruise. (I have family on that one, not bloggers though). Cheers, Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Rare MicCanberra Posted January 6, 2018 #14 Share Posted January 6, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jn2003 Posted January 6, 2018 #15 Share Posted January 6, 2018 ........booked the stateroom next door and was using it as a walk in robe as she had brought a different outfit for each day. 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.

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.'

So where does it get stored until you whittle it down? Or do you waste precious time each port buying new gear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
