Maximize Your Cruise Wardrobe With These Packing TipsWritten by Lee Dobbins
Cruises are a fun opportunity to dress up and look your best but how do you look fresh every day without bringing your whole closet?The first thing you need to think about is what type of clothing you will need. Will you be attending fancy dinners or dressing casual whole time? Is there a theme party you would like to attend? Will you be dancing until dawn in your best dance dress? Some of these may necessitate bringing special attire and you want to make sure you have room set aside in your luggage for this. If you will be dressing for dinner, one way to stretch your cruise wardrobe is to coordinate separates. Stick to no more than 3 coordinating colors such as black, white and tan. This way you can bring 1 pair of slacks, 1 skirt, 2 nice shirts and 2 jackets and make them look like 8 brand new and fresh outfits by mixing up what piece you wear with what. For example, slacks paired with shirt 1 and jacket 1 could be one outfit, substitute shirt 2 with same slacks and jacket for a whole new look! Now substitute skirt in and you get another whole new look! In addition, you can use scarves and accessories to give each outfit a whole new look.

Lets face it, one of joys of a cruise is sumptuous world class food that is available everywhere and in great quantities. Needless to say, nearly anyone who has embarked on a cruise has come back a bit heavier, but that doesn’t have to be case. There are many other amenities aboard every cruise ship that you can enjoy and still fit into your bathing suit at end of trip.One key to not overeating is to simply only eat when you are hungry. Avoid temptation to eat at every chance you get and ask yourself “Am I really that hungry”. If you are then go ahead and fill up, but if you are not, pass on food or eat just a little bit or a piece of fruit. Another thing to remember is that you do not have to sample everything on buffet every night! If there are many things you would like to try, then pace yourself throughout week. How about taking just a bite or two of that tempting dessert instead of eating two pieces? Those 2 bites will taste just as good as eating whole thing and leave you feeling much lighter.
