•Make photocopies of all these documents and leave a copy at home or with a friend or relative. In case you misplace yours they can mail you a copy of the originals.
•Carry a duplicate set in your luggage in the event of the originals getting stolen or misplaced.
•Pack as many clothes as you will require. Do not over pack dress items.
•Usually a week long cruise will have a couple of formal nights. You might think of carrying a couple of formal dinner dresses/ suits for these occasions.
•For the rest of the days carry casual wear depending on the climate and also the ports that you’ll be visiting.
•Bring clothes that you can mix and match and feel comfortable in.
•Remember that airlines have a 50 pounds weight limit and will fine you if you go over the limit.
Luxury cruise lines cater to wealthy passengers and have every item you may need. However, these items are very expensive on board and the cruise lines do brisk business by persuading passengers to buy things at their outlet.
Everything inside the cruise liner is designed to fleece you. However, if you are careful you may not have to spend any extra money if you don’t want to.
