Over the years I have found skirts (even long ones) to be cooler than shorts. Added benefit is they keep the damaging. sun off.
You can find skirts made of thin material that shed wrinkles, are light weight, and perfect for dressy evenings. If you don't sweat too much, you can wear them more than once.Just bring several tops for each skirt.
Bahamas cruise is great place for your tye-dyed tops, skirts, and dresses.
You should be able to pack everything you need in a roll-a-board suitcase and a tote bag for a 3 to 4 night cruise. If you can't you over pack. Big benefit for packing light is you don't have to check luggage so less chance for it to get lost.
Unless you need medical equipment. That's a totally different situation and doesn't apply to most people.
Pretty good list of items. I'm doing a four night on Grandeur OTS Monday and will be taking similar but maybe a bit lighter. In the end after twenty years of international travel I found it is best to not obsess about packing. If you forget a thing or five it isn't a big deal. The essential packing list is: Passport, Wallet with cash and credit cards, Smartphone/computer, and Medications. Everything else can be sorted out as needed.
Perfect timing, Matt! I just booked a January cruise on Mariner to Nassau and Coco Cay to celebrate our 35th anniversary! First time cruisers!
Sounds great!
PERFECT TIMING! My cruise is going to the Bahamas next week and I was about to pack!
One thing I got was a water proof camera (got a knock off one that works pretty well). Unless you are doing deep dives and such (then you must get an official one, not a knock off) it's great to just snorkel on top of the water and take pictures of animals, plants, coral, or even of yourself, family, and friends while in the water
The cruise ship can be chilly, especially at night and especially if you're sitting in a theater watching a show. They crank up the air conditioning understandably for the cast and crew but the audience is freezing. So bring something warm for the air conditioning. Also if the Bahamas is anything like Florida, sixties in Florida is chilly with the damp air.
Really helpful since I’ll be going on my first cruise in two months. Thanks, Matt.
Such a great idea. Yes bring a sweeter even thru March. We came back to Port of Galveston just this past March and it was a breezy 60° and of course, no jacket or sweater. I had to wait, in the cold for 45 min for my husband to retrieve the car. I will never go on a cruise without a light jacket again. Lesson learned
I won’t have that problem. I’m going on a cruise this December, I’m leaving from NJ and it’s very cold here in the winter so I will 100% be wearing my jacket & beanie onto the ship. No way I could forget to pack it lol
Great summary Matt. I sailed out of Galveston in January 2022, and on the last day, a sea day, I went on deck for a cigar. I wore leans and a Carhart hoodie (much heavier than the average hoodie) and was freezing(upper 40’s.
I have arthritis is both feet and wear sneakers with low cut socks on Coco Cay and one would be surprised how little sand gets in my shoes.
Perfect. Thanks! So excited for my cruise in 29 days!
I'm from Buffalo and yes, 60° is shorts weather. Lol.
Cruising in 30days. Can't wait. Thanks for the video Matt!
A vacation attitude!
I just got back from a Bahamas Cruise!! Already looking to book another one! My kids loved Coco Cay!! 😍😍😍
Is Coco all kid stuff or anything adults will enjoy
We love formal night so we still dress for the main dining room and Chop's night. Even on 4 night cruises.
I love it too! I own a couple formal dresses and I look for excuses to wear them. Formal night on a cruise is a great excuse
Another great video, I always feel like i over pack for the 4 night outta PC. But i still like to dress up for the formal night no matter how short or long the cruise is. Nice thing about this cruise is nice if you wanna just go ashore a few hours or not at all. We enjoy Coco Cay no matter what. We just choose a different part each time to keep it different.
Totally agree!
Always love your videos! Could you do one regarding the gambling program that Royal has? And it’s perks?
You always need a jacket...the A/C is running...
My preference is to bring my own snorkel gear minus flippers. It’s a $$ saver also.
Thanks for the video Matt.
It's worth getting these fitted at a proper dive shop. They will not leak and last 20 years or so.
Yeah, With all these ports that have great beaches. not all of them will have places where you can rent the gear. As well as cheaper then to rent them.
Well you had the 3 adults in the living room laughing at the "cold" as we live just outside of Milwaukee. 70 plus in November is cause for great celebration. 😁
I’m going on a Bahamas cruise this December. There is no way I can forget a jacket bc I will likely be wearing a jacket and beanie when I board the ship. I’m leaving from NJ & it’s cold her in December
is it around december 5th by any chance ?
lol! we had a very concise list of items.
still ended up with 2 full suitcases and two bags for a weekend trip.
🤦🏻♀️
we learned nothing and did it again to Universal!!
You crack me up. 70 cold, this Buffalo girl loves 70. So refreshing. Going on the Oasis in about 2 weeks, to the Bahamas.
Can u do a video on what to bring for Canada cruise
Thank you for this! We are going next September 🙌
Hope you enjoy it!
Really cool
Surprised you didn’t mention beach shoes that you can take into the water. Keep your feet safe from the bottom rocks and shells. Plus have holes to let the sand move Thru them.
Do you need environmental sun screen in the Bahamas??
Water shoes are great in the pool as well. I have a pair with beautiful geometric design and rubber soles which I wear to take trash out as well.
I haven't been in a cruise, but want to.
Thank you this is very useful 🎉🎉🎉
You're welcome 😊
Thanks Matt learned a lot
Happy to help!
I love your videos, is there any way you could do videos on the excursions they have at each port so we have an idea of what we want to do?
This blog post may be exactly what you need: www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2022/09/26/best-shore-excursion-every-caribbean-cruise-port
Can you please make a Liberty of the Seas tour?
What class of ships have stabilizers and which do not?
I know this doesn't pertain to this video but I thought it's the most recent upload, better chance for getting an answer.
Other cruising youtubers that are crew will mention the best restaurants, best food, etc. But they also say as crew they aren't allowed to dine as guests or use pools or hottubs.
So unless you've gone as a guest and eaten at those restaurants, how do you guys know what the food is like?
Will be there with 85 year old mother in a wheel chair. Any tips?
Is tourist in Bahamas allowed to join the cruise for vacation in other countries like Canada Mexico and USA
Under tourist visa in Bahamas?
I like to dress up for dinner so I pack too much stuff.
Helped alot. I am going on a cruise to Mexico in January. Would the same winter clothing apply? Also I run cold so what is the temperature on cruise ships? This will be my first cruise. Thanks in Advance.
Are you going to the Caribbean side or the Pacific side? If it is to Cozumel and other ports on the Caribbean side then the list will be very similar. If you are going to ports on the Pacific side out of California (Cabo, Mazatlán, Puerto Vallarta) then you might want to pack a bit heavier winter clothing for a couple nights. The portion from California to the first port and back to California on the last day can be chilly if you are out on deck especially that time of year because of the winds off the water.

It's always a good idea to pack a light weight sweater for air conditioned areas. And night time out on deck. Breeze can be chilly.
Matt, if while doing a back-to-back, do we have to retest again prior to the second leg?
Nope. Royal dropped B2B testing months ago
If we’re stopped at perfect day, are we able to go back and forth from the island to the ship to get something (if needed)?
Yes, you can come and go as you please.
What months are considered winter months?
December - April for sure
Do you need a passport to go on a cruise to perfect day?
Depends on where the ship sails from

Why is underwear really important? I’ve been going commando since my days in the Army. Is that an issue on cruise ships for some reason?
Coco Cay. Not key. 😂
First cool
Underwear is really not that important 😂 jus sayin
Great summary Matt. I sailed out of Galveston in January 2022, and on the last day, a sea day, I went on deck for a cigar. I wore leans and a Carhart hoodie (much heavier than the average hoodie) and was freezing(upper 40’s.
