roxmac63 Posted April 20, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I’m going on 7 day cruise and sharing cabin with a couples of clothes horses. Not that I won’t bring a few things. But, are there plenty of hangers provided? Or should I bring some so it doesn’t come to fista cuffs? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatchHill Posted April 20, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 20, 2018 If you don't have enough in the room, ask your steward who will provide additional hangers. Darcy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted April 20, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 20, 2018 No matter what cruise line we have been on, there were always enough hangers. But if you find you don't have enough, as mentioned, just ask your cabin steward for more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted April 20, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Usually we have enough in our cabin. When we come up short, we just ask our cabin steward for more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaveitallbehind Posted April 20, 2018 #5 Share Posted April 20, 2018 As others have said, if there are not enough already in your stateroom ask your room steward for more and they will bring them. No need to come to blows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlp20 Posted April 21, 2018 #6 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Rule of thumb, take half the clothes and twice the cash. We "pack" with clothes"on" wire hangers. Totally unpacked in less than 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Sent from my iPhone using Forums Well given your "clothes horse"concern I would be more worried about closet and drawer space to fit everything - not enough hangers to put them on. In that case, the advise of packing half the clothes and twice the cash is very appropriate as there is a limit to the storage - and people - space in the staterooms.

Cruise a holic Posted April 21, 2018 #9 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I’m going on 7 day cruise and sharing cabin with a couples of clothes horses. Not that I won’t bring a few things. But, are there plenty of hangers provided? Or should I bring some so it doesn’t come to fista cuffs? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Hope it’s a junior suite or above or you will not have enough room for hangers or drawer space. I suggest you bring a few space saving hangers that can accommodate for example multiple pairs of pants or shorts. also storage of luggage under your bed might be a problem for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underwatr Posted April 21, 2018 #10 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Hope it’s a junior suite or above or you will not have enough room for hangers or drawer space. Depends on the line. Lots of closets on two HAL cruises, most of which can be converted between shelves or hanging closets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaveitallbehind Posted April 21, 2018 #11 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Depends on the line. Lots of closets on two HAL cruises, most of which can be converted between shelves or hanging closets. Agree. And most staterooms have more than adequate storage. And while 3-4 passengers can occupy some of the staterooms, that typically is done with parents with children. IMO, most staterooms are optimally designed for double occupancy and specific to the OP's concerns, it sounds like there are three adults in this stateroom, two of which apparently like to pack a lot of clothes. Things may get cramped. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hladygirl Posted April 26, 2018 #12 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Always bring my own hangers. Cheap wire ones. The cruise line ones are the bulkie wooden ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underwatr Posted April 26, 2018 #13 Share Posted April 26, 2018 If you request additional hangers they're usually wire. Last time the steward gave me some brand new wire hangers that were sturdy and better quality than what I get from the dry cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted April 30, 2018 #14 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I've never brought hangers, shoe organizers, towels, poster boards, door decorations, night lights, alarm clocks and other "extraneous" items on a cruise or a land vacation. Best advice I got on packing was to take half the clothes I thought I would need and twice as much money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best advice I got on packing was to take half the clothes I thought I would need and twice as much money. I've seen this advice often, but I usually end up with very little unworn clothes (and sometimes hand wash) and always have money left over. Not all advice is one size fits all (but I do think it's wise to bring more money than you think you'll need). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organized Chaos Posted May 4, 2018 #17 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I've seen this advice often, but I usually end up with very little unworn clothes (and sometimes hand wash) and always have money left over. Not all advice is one size fits all (but I do think it's wise to bring more money than you think you'll need).Agreed. The “pack light” advice, which is VERY common, is probably my least favorite piece of advice anyone gives. Not everyone spends their cruise in swimwear. Me personally, I’d rather bring it and not need it than want it and not have it. If I’m taking a certain size suitcase anyway, I’m going to use the space. I like extra shirts. I get hot easily, so sometimes want to put on a fresh shirt. I think clothes packing is something everyone should experiment with themselves. It’s not much different than packing for a land vacation. Where you’re at, including weather, and what you’re going to do determines a lot of what you wear. That applies on any vacation. If you realize you overpacked the first time, you can adjust. I think that’s better than wishing you had brought something, but didn’t because you followed advice that works for some, but not for everyone.

jdvmd Posted May 5, 2018 #18 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Always plenty provided but if you need more, just ask your cabin steward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted May 6, 2018 #19 Share Posted May 6, 2018 We’ve always had plenty, but if you need more ask. That applies to pretty much anything on the ship. Ask, worst case you get told, “Sorry, can’t do that”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
