Taking an Alaskan Cruise -- What to Pack
by Debbie Overstreet and Susan Daniel
Packing in general can be a hassle. But when going on an Alaskan
cruise, it can be even harder because of the colder weather. Here
are some general suggestions to make this task a little easier.
Casual clothing -- You will want to take some casual clothing for
the daytime. This will include jeans, cords, turtlenecks, and
sweaters.
Dress in layers -- If you dress in layers, you can add or
subtract layers as the weather dictates.
Outerwear -- You probably will not need a heavy down coat if you
dress in layers, however, you will need a jacket.
Dinner wear -- You will want to dress up for dinner each night.
If you stick to a core wardrobe color, you can mix and match. Use
bold accessories such as pins, necklaces, and scarves to change
up the look.
Shoes -- Try to plan your wardrobe around one basic color so that
your shoes will match everything. Of course, dinner shoes will be
different from every-day shoes.
Misc -- Remember to take your camera and binoculars. Don’t forget
the film and extra batteries. An umbrella may also be needed.
By packing this way, you may be able to get everything into one
suitcase and a backpack that you can carry with you on the plane.
You’ll be prepared and worry free!
