Packing for a cruise where the day has three changes
Short answer: On board you move between deck, restaurant and evening. Plain bamboo viscose layers let you pack half as much.
Three situations, one foundation
Sun on deck, cool in the restaurant and wind in the evening. A thin base with two layers over it covers all three. See bamboo clothing for women.
The cabin is small
Wardrobe space is tight. Soft knit takes less room than woven fabric and does not crease in a case. See bamboo t-shirts for women.
Air conditioning everywhere
Indoors it is cool all day. An extra layer in your bag matters more than a thick jumper in the case. See long sleeved bamboo t-shirts for women.
Washing along the way
Underwear can be washed in the sink and is dry by morning. That halves what you need to pack. See bamboo underwear for women.
Frequently asked questions
How much clothing for a week on board?
Four tops, two bottoms, one evening piece and four days of underwear plus washing on the way.
Why do you get cold indoors on a cruise?
Because the systems cool hard. Always keep a thin layer in your bag.
Does bamboo clothing crease in a suitcase?
Less than woven fabric. Rolled, it also packs tighter.
