Hey everyone!

I'll be going on my first cruise ever very soon! I know I'm packing way too much:

Do you have any tips for a first time cruiser? Thank you!

Hi Liesl! Its so nice to be on cruise! I've been many times and I'm happy for you. Listen dear. Dont spend so much space for shoes and clothes. Nobody expects from you to change clothes every 5 hours! You are on vacation that does not mean that you have your home with you!
Separete your shoes in 3 categories (three pairs I will say better)
boat shoes
nice everyday shoes
night shoes
do the same with your clothes. Try to get with you clothes that need less iron.
A pair of jean is the best! With different blouses/t-shirts and accesories you can have all three categories!
Take with you also a small first aid kit.
Dont think what you left behind think how you will spend your time better.
Its so hard to hold heavy baggages!
And most of all:
Leave speace for souvenirs and things you will buy there!!!!!!!
I hope I help in a way
Have a nice time dear! :)

Thanks for all your great tips! I know I'm taking way too many pairs of shoes, that's what my mom said as well. I just can't decide which ones to leave and which ones to take... I packed them all and I still have enough space for shopping and souvenirs :-)

I'm gonna go get my first aid kit together now.

Happy Friday!

Hi Liesl--just got back from my cruise last week...I enjoyed it, I agree with Peri Alos-

bring some comfy shoes for walking about excursions, and also bring a cardigan, especially when you're out at the deck at night time,it can be a bit chilly..

which liner are you going?

have a nice holiday...

Thanks for your comment, Cecille! I'm going with Princess Cruises for the 12-day Grand Mediterranean Cruise.

I already packed some cardigans, I hope they'll keep me warm enough.

Have a nice weekend!

Sweety, I forgot to say: Sun in Mediterranean and especially in Greece is very strong! Take a high protection cream for face and body and dont forget to apply on your face every 2 hours!
I hope to see photos from your cruise! Enjoy it!
