Answer 1

# Make sure you have all of your travel documents in order and secure in a safe but accessible place. This includes a valid passport, driver's license, airline tickets and/or boarding passes. A pocketbook or outside pocket of your carry-on bag is ideal, since you'll need easy access at the airport and upon arrival at the hotel. Also, be sure to pack copies of prescriptions for medications, which should be carried in their original containers.
# In your carry-on bag, pack your toiletry bag and at least one change of clothing, as well as a bathing suit. In the Caribbean it is not uncommon for your luggage to be delayed at either the airport or in transit to your hotel. Being able to slip on a swimsuit and wait poolside for your bags beats stewing in the lobby! Also, bring some small bills for tips and cash for cabs and other services.
# Choose a full-sized suitcase or soft-sided luggage bag. Wheeled luggage is best, since some Caribbean airports require you to deplane on the tarmac, while others feature long walks from the gate to ground transportation. Larger resorts, and those that have individual villas, can also be spread out, meaning a hike to your room if you're too impatient (like me) to wait for a porter.
# Rolling your clothes to prevent wrinkling and save space, pack the following basics: socks and underwear (bring a few extras so you can change on hot days), at least two pairs of cotton, khaki, or linen pants (these are lightweight and dry quickly; leave your denim jeans home), plenty of shorts (can double as a swimsuit in an emergency), and t-shirts. For evening or excessively air-conditioned hotel lobbies and restaurents, bring a light sweater or jacket.
# For women: Different islands have different customs and mores: check first before you pack that skimpy bikini or those short shorts. Capri pants are a cool compromise between shorts and slacks. Bring at least one nice dress for evening. Leave expensive jewelry home, or use the in-room safe, if available, when not wearing.
# For men: Pack some collared golf shirts, preferably in light colors with simple patterns. You can wear them anywhere day or night, even under a light suit jacket for a fancy dinner.
# For the beach, pack at least two swimsuits (nothing more annoying than putting on a soggy bathing suit, which dry slowly in the muggy tropics), multiple pairs of UV-rated sunglasses, waterproof sunscreen (SPF 30 minimum), a brimmed hat (to protect your head, face, neck and ears from the sun), and a sarong or wrap (for women). I also like to bring some aloe vera to soothe the inevitable sunburn I get despite all of the above precautions.
# In your toiletry bag, besides the usual toothbrushes, razors, deoderant, and feminine items, don't forget to pack lip balm (hot sun equals chapped lips), bug spray (especially useful for hikes or other inland activities), and baby powder or Desitin (nothing more irritating than chafing at the beach).
# In an outside luggage compartment or inside shoe valet, pack tennis shoes, flip-flops or sandals, water shoes/tevas (I once had to rent these in Jamaica -- gross!), and at least one pair of dressy shoes for evenings.
# Tourist brochures are always sunny, but it does rain in the Caribbean, a little bit almost every day in some places. Pack a compact umbrella or a light, waterproof hooded jacket, or prepare to be soggy on occasion.
# Pack a camera in your carry-on or checked luggage; if the latter, use a protective case or use your clothes to cushion the camera for travel. Bring plenty of film and/or digital media from home; these can be expensive in the islands. Pack your film in your carry-on to prevent damage from heavy-duty x-ray machines used to inspect checked bags.
# If you plan to snorkel, bring your own: this is another item you don't want to rent. On the other hand, you may find it easier to rent (or borrow) golf clubs or tennis racquets than to pack your own.
# Make sure to leave some space for those souvenirs and gifts for the kids and Aunt Mable. Better to underpack a bigger suitcase than to have to lug an unwieldy shopping bag back through the airport on the way home.
# Wear to the airport some of your bulkier items, such as jackets and dress shoes. But be sure to pack, not wear, metallic items like belts, watches, and shoes with metal inserts or grommets to avoid delays at security checkpoints.
# Zip up your bags -- you're ready to go to the Caribbean!

Or think about packing in threes and adjust up or down depending on the item (for a one week cruise). For example, pack three pairs of shorts and three t-shirts and three bathing suits. Increase the amount of short and t-shirts if you plan on spending more time exploring than swimming or sunning, and decrease the bathing suits. Or vice versa.

This works for dresses as well. Pack a formal dress, a sundress and perhaps a skirt to wear with various tops. You can adjust this up or down if you want too. For men this means a suit, long pants and button down shirts. Now you are ready for those fabulous dinners.

Think about what to wear in cooler weather. You will want to pack a light sweater or jacket and perhaps a packable raincoat.

Water shoes or water sandals are helpful for those beaches that are rocky or have a lot of coral. Of course don’t forget sunscreen, it will be expensive if you have to buy it there. Include sunglasses, a bag for the beach or for shopping, and after sun lotion. A separate cover-up or two is great to have.

Remember your prescription medication; pack them in your carry-on. You may want to include seasickness medicine just in case. You can buy it on the cruise ship or at the infirmary if you need it. Or pack some anti-diarrhea medicine and anti-inflamatories as well. Make sure they are appropriate for you and your medical status.

Other things to think about are small binoculars for possible whale or dolphin watching. You may want to include an MP3 player, or ipod for music on the beach or sunning on the ship. Or take some paperback books for casual reading as well. Don’t forget your passport or other important papers. Some people like a special small packet to carry all of them in.

Cruise ships will have shops to purchase casual and dress clothes, bathing suits, sunscreen, souvenirs and other items. Generally you will pay a little more, but the shopping can be fun. Try to plan on having a little extra space in my luggage for items purchase to take home.

If you decide on the shore excursions you want to do ahead of time, you can then decide if you need to take other items. Most of all pack a positive and fun attitude! You are going to have a great vacation on your cruise. The cruise line will do all they can to make this your best vacation ever.

Answer 2

Hey, HK Gal, she's going for 7 days, not 7 weeks! You shouldn't even have a check in bag for that short of a trip.

OK, I agree to find out if you need formal dress or not, but otherwise shorts, t-shirts, swimsuits, 1 pair of shoes, flip flops. Don't buy anything new before you go. If you don't have something, just buy it there!

I flew to the Dominican Republic last year for 6 weeks and only took my digital camera and a toothbrush - but I came home with a big bag.

Answer 3

At least a pair of shorts for everyday and bathing suite and coverup. A couple of sundresses. One formal gown and shoes unless you are required to dress formal for dinner every time. Then you need more formals.It really depends on if its a formal cruise or not.

Everything you own. You just never know what you are going to wish you brought with you.
