bubbles1209 Posted June 7, 2006 #1 Share Posted June 7, 2006 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:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momofzeke Posted June 7, 2006 #2 Share Posted June 7, 2006 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! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare silentbob007 Posted June 7, 2006 #5 Share Posted June 7, 2006 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).

britishiles Posted June 8, 2006 #6 Share Posted June 8, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrly Posted June 8, 2006 #7 Share Posted June 8, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
