The same method can be applied for your casual wear. If you stick to a coordinating color scheme, you can get more mileage out of each piece since it will tend to look different when it is paired with a different top or bottom.

Deciding which shoes to take is perhaps hardest of all! If you are anything like me, you have a perfect pair for each outfit and you’ll want to take them all! Of course, you may not have room in those suitcases so you must be selective in what you bring. I suggest you wear your bulkiest shoes, like sneakers, onto ship - this way will not be taking up space in your luggage. Bring a dressy shoe and a more casual shoe as well. Make sure you think about color when you pack shoes, if you are bringing only black dressy slacks then white sandals might not look so good!

Finally, to get more space in your suitcase for clothes, find out if ship will be supplying beach towels and hair dryers. If they are then you can leave yours at home and free up some suitcase space for more clothes!

When eating at a buffet, try to fill your plate up with fruits and vegetables. This will be much healthier for you and leave you full of energy and ready to dance night away!

If you do overeat, there’s plenty of opportunity to burn off those extra calories. Take full advantage of exercise equipment on ship and plan to get in a full workout each day. Walking deck can be fun and also a great way to get in some exercise. When you are in pool, swim a few laps instead of just floating. Take stairs instead of elevator whenever possible.
