Cruise Packing

Chic · Marc Jacobs

How long are you going for? Also do you get to get dressed up for stuff, or are you just going casual beach chic?

Lina · BCBG

Chic, I'm going for 7 days. I will get dressed up for two evening dinners and then during the day I'd like to dress casual but very cute!

Chic · Marc Jacobs

One thing that I would bring would be a cute skirt that has the rouching on the waist. I know burberry has a cute one in their spring ads but I haven't seen a cute one in my price range yet. I will let you know if I see one.

Skirts and nice tops and maybe a copule of black dresses. I went on a cruise a while back and saw a girl with a damn prom dress and white pumps.........It took everything in me not to throw her over board!I always hewre older women looking for evening gowns for cruises .........It's really not necessary for any age range.Have fun.....My cruise to the Bahamas was cancelled @ the end of September...........DAMN HURRICANES! I hope to go on one this spring!

Elle · Hermes

On both my cruises, I ended up wearing this stuff the most:

Bathing suit (bring one for each day if you can) and coverup

Cotton skirts (I brought 5 b/c you wear them to breakfast, lunch, the pool, shopping, etc)

Capris (b/c I can't stand shorts)

Cotton camis/tanks (to go with all the skirts)

A few sundresses (to wear to non-formal dinners)

A couple nice dresses (for formal dinners, shows, and pictures)

Comfortable walking shoes (for when you go ashore), flipflops, heels

A large-ish purse for going ashore (large enough for a water bottle and sunscreen)

Things I brought and ended up not needing:

Pants of any kind, a towel, blowdryer

Basically you are either really dressed down or really dressed up the entire time - I ended up either wearing stuff over my swimsuit during the day or dressed to the nines for dinner. Have fun and post pics when you get back!
