Thank you, Mysty. Like you, I look up the average temperatures along the itinerary and plan accordingly. I won’t have really cold weather, so no need for boots and parkas. Even the scenic “float past” of Antarctica will only need a puffer jacket. I will need more hot weather clothing, so won’t scrimp there. It sounds like four large suitcases will certainly be enough for one person.
I still have the shoe hanger from our very early cruising days. That was an early Cruise Critic hint. It was used over the bathroom door to hold toiletries and sundries though, not shoes. I also have stronger magnetic hooks now, so another one inside the wardrobe actually for shoes is a good idea. I’ll look for cheaper fabric boxes, Kmart rather than IKEA.
Why did you take cloth hangers? Wouldn’t the ship be able to supply as many as you needed? But you have made me think that connectors to hang one hanger on another will be very useful. I’ll collect pull rings from baked bean cans to take with me.
I appreciate your suggestions and taking the time to respond. 😀
