A little over a week to go!

[bubbles1209]

We have a little over a week to go on our very first cruise:D How do most of you guys pack your formal wear?:confused: Do you use a garment bag? Do you then fold the garment back over once, and put in your suitcase, or just attatch a luggage tag to your garment bag?:confused: Can ya tell I have never flown before? Any help will be much appreciated. Did a search, but only came up with packing lists, not how they packed what. Thanks in advance:)

Are you getting excited????

 

Yes, we use a folding garment bag for our formal clothes. It has a luggage tag on it, just like a piece of luggage (which it is). Just check it as you would any piece of luggage. It has pockets for shoes, belts, etc. and can hold quite a lot of stuff. If you don't already have one of these, you can get a decent one for around $30 - $40 at most retail stores that sell luggage. Maybe even less at Wal-Mart or something.

 

Enjoy your cruise! :)

We use one rolling suitcase just for both (yes both) on my wife's formals and my dress shirt.

I use a garment bag for my suit. Since it has all kind of pockets and holders, I also put shoes and anything else heavy in there to make sure that my standard suitcase does not go over the airline's weight restrictions (usually 50 pounds/bag without paying a fee).

I have a carry on for my suit. It rolls it over a tube and the tube is hollow for my shoes, belt, tie, etc.

Don't forget to put dry cleaner bags over your formal wear so when you take it out it won't be as wrinkled. Have a great cruise.
