The great benefit of going on a cruise holiday is that you’ll only need to unpack once, so you won’t have to worry about lugging your bag around from destination to destination. You’ll have the space to unpack your case and put together your outfits with ease each day. Depending on how long your cruise is, you will want to consider how many times you’ll need to do laundry, otherwise, get ready to pay the hefty onboard dry-cleaning fees. While the versatility of each item is key, it’s also important to feel comfortable while looking and feeling good. Read on to see our recommendations on how to pack for a warm-weather 7-day cruise. Tops 2 Short Sleeve Shirts – perfect for days on shore and balmy evenings on board 3 Long Sleeve Shirts – You’ll need to wear a collared shirt to dinner each night. A minimum of 3 shirts are recommended for a 7-day cruise. Consider adding a linen shirt into the mix for hot days and nights. 3 Plain T-Shirts - the ideal layer for casual sea days or lounging by the pool 2 Polo Shirts – easy and comfortable, a polo shirt can be worn all day, whether you’re on shore or on board Bottoms 2 pairs of Chinos – On most cruise lines shorts are not permitted to be worn after 6pm (unless you’re dining at the buffet), so you’ll need to wear chinos to dinner most nights.
