Packing My Suitcase For My First Cruise
Is packing your suitcase a struggle and a real challenge? You must read this blog carefully.
I still have to pack the suitcase. I am really bad at this. I would like to take my whole closet. Unfortunately that is no option. I have learned from my mistakes so I think I upgrade myself to a genius packer. I will make the essential checklist. Good for the both of us. This checklist is for a caribbean destination, take care!
The essentials packing my suitcase checklist:
Clothes
- Dresses
- Tuniques
- Shorts

Rolling your clothes instead of folding them will to save tons of baggage space.

(don’t forget your chargers or batteries)
Health and Beauty

- Suncreen
- Toothbrush and paste
(mascara, blush, powder, highlighter, eyeliner (leave your foundation at home))
Important stuff

I am sure you must add your personal stuff to this list.
To make this list complete I will add some genius packing tricks.
- Pack pieces that can be mixed and matched.
I always pack sets, like a nice short with a nice top or a dress with matching shoes. You can be sure you will look fabulous. I always choose neutral base colours, like black, camel and grey. But off course you must bring some eye catchers.
2. Bring a small oil in your handluge
The cold and dry air in the plane is bad for your skin. Bring a small oil package or moisturizer in your handbag. Put the oil on your hands and feet.
3. Bring a sticky roller
Nobody likes lint. You, either.
4. Done packing?
Always check your chosen airline’s baggage policies. Most airlines allow you to check at least one bag free, but always double-check, so you don’t end up wasting money.
5. Wear bulky clothes on the plane.
The fifth trick is for the way back. You must know about the maximum allowed baggage. I used to buy a lot on holidays. Carry your scarf on, wear four of five shirts. It isn’t that flattering, but useful. With this trick you are more than ready for the way back journey, with bag and baggage.
I must not give in now, but I am getting tired a bit. While I am about it, I must finish it. In for a penny, in for a pound. I think I am ready to go. Only a lovely tanning bed is waiting for me.
Now you know how to pack like a pro.
I cannot wait for tomorrow! Ready, and mount.
Goodnight!
