Hurricanes and packing

[Doris&Nereus]

Hi, I'm going to get ready for another cruise. I need to buy a new bag, and am out of ideas. We're still in hurricane season here in FL. I kind of want a waterproof bag or suitcase. Any ideas on great bags? Any ideas on packing light? Thanks

What size?  I have hard shell luggage I like that is made of a light waterproof material. A 4 wheeled set with 3 pieces and another.  For bags, do you want a duffel or oversize beach bag? The trip is finding something that zips closed and is made of waterproof nylon.

 

Packing light is always a challenge for a cruise!

Thanks for your reply, I was looking at a hard shell the other day. Nylon is good for the bag because it's light, and can be taken on and stashed under my chair at the buffet on day one before getting into my cabin. Or on some ships they open the MDR for lunch. I think I may get the hard shell, some of them can expand a little. Maybe it will help me not to have to stuff so much in. Thanks again.
