The very first cruise we took I had 5 months to prepare. I started a list & added to it when I thought of something. This came in very handy. I keep a new and revised list for every cruise. I very rarely forget anything. Last cruise I took 2 pair of black slacks & matching tops. It worked out great! It cut down on a lot of luggage. Bathing suits do take a long time to dry, I like to bring clothes pins instead of throwing your clothes over the line.
