What to pack on a cruise to the Bahamas?

What should I pack for my 5 day cruise to the Bahamas? I am the worst OVER packer in the world!?

  • How many formal gowns?Etc. What activities do most people do?

  • Answer:

    I'd underpack without question. Remember, you're going to have to deal with the bags in the airport, cruise port, and a cramped cabin. If you can roll/carry everything off, many lines offer an express disembark that can save you hours on the last day. Carnival has self laundries on board if needed. Virtually all lines will launder clothes for a fee. Some run specials on the third or fourth day of a trip. Allow for the t-shirt you know you're going to buy. One outfit for formal night. Otherwise, resort casual. Only a few pairs of shoes (IMHO, one pair each of dress/tennis/sandals can work). (On a recent trip we took, a table mate took an incredible 20 pair of shoes for a 7-day trip!!) Remember sunscreen (expensive on board and in port), essential medicines, and of course your passport. Activities depend on your age, whether you are accompanied by kids or not, and whether you plan to spring the big $$$ for ship excursions. Take a little time to research your ship and ports of call. The Cruise Critic "roll call" board is a great way to connect with others on your trip and what they are doing. And, remember, you're there to have fun.

There might only be one formal night, so I would just take one thing that's extra nice. All the other nights, sun dress, or slacks. I wouldn't take any jeans. While during excursions, shopping, etc., I would just wear coverups. I always like to sit down and write out what I'll need for each occassion per day, and go ahead and know what I'll wear. It's really helpful when coming to overpacking! (Don't forget a sweatshirt or light jacket, it gets cool @ night, especially with sunburn!!!)
