AVID cruisers have revealed what they regretted packing on a cruise – an important question, considering cruise cabins have limited storage.
A Reddit user attracted more than 200 comments after they posed the question, with ‘too many clothes’ topping the list.
“I packed ~12 outfits and 4 swimsuits coverups for a 7night/8day cruise and I could have packed less than half of that,” one commenter wrote.
On a similiar note, many said they had brought too many shoes with them.
“[I] now try to only pack two pairs and I wear my bulkiest pair on the plane/ship (sneakers). I then pack a pair of flip flops or water shoes for the pool and spa areas,” one traveller suggested.
Other advice included to forgo packing basic toiletry items such as tissues, body wash and shampoo, which are already stocked in the cabins.
Books were also on the ‘leave behind’ list for some, with one user claiming she brought a novel on board but did not open it once, as she was too busy enjoying other actvities on the ship.
Commenters also offered advice on things that should be packed, including wrinkle-release spray, since many ships do not allow irons, and a trash bag for dirty clothes.
