Don't know what it is about going on a cruise that compels some to pack like they were joining a one year expedition to Siberia. But they typically pack twice as much as they need. Showing they are painfully unaware of what to wear on a cruise.Naturally it helps if you know what to expect. And if you've spent time on a cruise ship previously you should be better prepared than someone leaving the dock for the first time. Since from experience you're aware of what to wear on a cruise. Or at least should know what goes and what doesn't.Of course for some the most exciting part of the get away is the build up to the departure date. Looking forward to that and planning what to take and so forth is more than half the fun for them. And if that's you don't let me put a damper on your enthusiasm.Yet it's also true that "He who packs light packs best".Then too, there are those who argue that since you only have to unpack once, what's a few extra things? Aside from the space they take up in your probably less-than-spacious cabin, and the extra suitcase or two, it's probably no big deal. But why bother when it's not necessary?Okay let's cut to the chase. In case you missed it - when packing for a cruise "Less Is More".Also you really don't need to bring something just in case. If you're unsure whether or not you need to bring it, do not. You can always pick up anything vital in port. So another rule is "When in doubt leave it out" - of the suitcase.Naturally what you will wear also depends on the published dress code. On most cruises what you'll be expected to wear to dinner is spelled out for you. It may be all formal. Or a mix of causal and formal wear.And casual can mean shorts - or not.Denim jeans are typically out. Especially in the dining room where you may find them to be taboo. It might be better to go with clothing you can mix and match. For the gals tops and skirts. While guys can do the same with shirts and pants.Where you'll be cruising also determines what to wear on a cruise. As someone in Alaska wouldn't dress the same the same as someone on the Mediterranean. For the former a coat with a removable liner might be smart to bring. Yet that wouldn't be good in Greece. Where a light weight nylon jacket could come in handy.Hopefully this helps give you a better idea of what to wear on a cruise.With packing and what to wear out of the way those booking cruises to Bermuda are drawn to the beaches. But did you know many people cruise to Bermuda for the snorkeling? Learn more about that plus get the other ideas on under-water adventures.
