According to Rick Steves' website, here are some great packing tips:
- If you won't wear it more than three times, don't bring it!
- Pack light, wash frequently, buy it if you need it
- Your pack should weight about 20 percent of your body weight, preferably no more than 20 pounds
- Limit yourself to one carry-on size bag: 9" x 21" x 13"
- A week before your trip, pack your bag with everything you think you want to take and carry it around for a day. Is it comfortable? Too heavy?
Also, for anyone going on a cruise make sure to pack a collapsible bag, not a big bulky suitcase. I learned from experience that even though boats/cruise ships are very nice they still lack in space a lot of the time. Packing everything in a small mesh or fabric bag will make your trip much easier!
