What To Pack

Hello Travelers!

Now that the  next Oasis of the Seas group  is ready to set sail we thought we would give you a few packing tips.
First for those of you that have purchased the Travel Guard Insurance , please review your policy and keep handy.

For those that just need a general overview of what to pack we have provided a sample list below courtesy  of Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines:

Camera. Sunscreen. Swimsuit.  Batteries.Okay, now that we've got the basics out of the way, here are a few must-have cruise items that will help make your vacation more comfortable, enjoyable and memorable.


On the first day...

For the first day of your cruise, pack a small carry-on bag with your travel documents, a change of clothes, bathing suit, workout clothes, and any medications you may need. That way you don't have to wait for your checked bags to arrive in your stateroom.

Onboard attire...

Shorts, t-shirts, slacks, trousers, casual skirts, blouses and sundresses are all perfect during the day, whether indoors or out.



For lounging by the pool, pack two bathing suits (an extra suit in case the other is wet) and a pair of casual shoes (e.g., flip-flops, sandals, sneakers). You'll also need some casual shorts and a couple of t-shirts or a cover-up for getting to and from the pool areas.



If you're planning to visit our onboard fitness center, be sure to bring extra shorts, t-shirts and socks that you won't mind working out in - plus a pair of tennis or running shoes/sneakers.



Dinner attire...

Meals in the main dining room follow this schedule:



Cruise Length         Casual        Smart      Casual Formal



7-night                         4              1                   2



Suggested guidelines for these nights are:

Casual: Sport shirts and slacks for men, sundresses or pants for women

Smart Casual: Jackets and ties for men, dresses or pantsuits for women

Formal: Suits and ties or tuxedos for men, cocktail dresses for women



For fun... There are four very important types of books you'll want to consider packing:

Travel guides - to help you explore new destinations

Poolside pleasures - nothing beats a great read in the sun

Journal - keep an account of your adventure for sharing and reminiscing

Address book - send your friends a postcard to make them jealous



Binoculars are another often forgotten, yet indispensable travel item. Be sure to pack a pair for magnified excitement onboard and onshore.



Save space...

Be sure to leave some room in your luggage for all those souvenirs and mementos. Some space-saving ideas include: Bring shirts and pants/skirts that mix and match, turning three outfits into five or six.

Wear your heaviest shoes during embarkation and disembarkation so you don't have to pack them.

Pack small items inside larger ones for efficiency.

Bring an additional empty bag for those acquired extras.
