Packing?

[Volldez]

How does one pack a suit/Tux on to the ship to minimize wrinkling? :confused:

This is my first criuse....leaving for Alaska tomorrow.

 

Thanks

I use a garment bag. My FIL rolls them up.

I've never packed a tuxedo before, but one option would be to use plastic bags, like the kind that come from the dry cleaners, and put one in between every fold. That will reduce wrinkles. Using a valise or garment bag can also help. And ultimately, if it is wrinkled when you unpack, quickly send it out to be pressed (not cleaned, but just pressed) to be back by the first formal night.

 

Have a great time on your cruise!!

Thanks for the tips!! :)

Although you probably can't do it this time in the future don't have it pressed before you go and give it to your steward when you arrive at the ship. They will return it to you neat and pressed and their cost is the same if not cheaper than home.

Folding over dry cleaner bags and/or tissue paper really does work. If there are few wrinkles, hang it in the bathroom with a little steam and rub with your hand to get them out or shake really good. Enjoy Alaska! It's beautiful!!
