Lightweight and comfortable clothing like shorts, t-shirts, sundresses, and breathable fabrics are ideal. Plan for 8-9 outfits; you can mix and match separates!

Casual daytime attire

Depending on the cruise line, you may have formal or semi-formal nights. Plan accordingly and bring a few dressier outfits with matching accessories.

Formal Wear

Pack at least 3 swimsuits and cover-ups for relaxing poolside or on the sun-kissed beaches. Also pack a beach bag or backpack, sunglasses, hat, sunscreen and a rash guard, if you use one.

Beach and swimwear

Now most cruise lines just offer refillable pumps with shampoo, conditioner and body wash and not individual small bottles. Don't forget contact lenses and medications!
