Pack for the ship you booked — not a generic list from 2011
Formal nights if they exist on your line, Alaska layers, Caribbean sun, and documents in your carry-on.
Pack for the sailing you booked
Formal nights if they exist on your line, Alaska layers, Caribbean sun, and documents in the carry-on. Dress codes have loosened on some ships — I will tell you what yours actually expects.
The short list that actually matters
Documents
On you. Not in the bag you might not see until night.
The climate
Alaska is not a Caribbean packing list with a sweater.
Evenings
Ask what your line still does for dress codes.
Meds and comfort
The shop onboard is not a pharmacy you designed.
Dress codes vary by line and have loosened on some ships. I will tell you what your sailing actually expects instead of scaring you into a tuxedo you will not wear.
