Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been cruising since 2000. I actually worked on board cruise ships for 5 years.

I hope I've shown you you don't have to overspend on your clothes for a cruise. Travel's expensive enough.

I found this on clearance at Marshalls and this is Lily Pulitzer, which is a really expensive brand, but I found it for $22 on clearance.

A Caribbean cruise essential for me is a widebrimmed sun hat. This one is SPF 50.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Shop early and often for cruise clothing all year round.
Look for clothes that don't show wrinkles.
Bring a long sleeve swim shirt with SPF for Caribbean sun protection.

Why overspend on your clothes for a cruise? Isn't the cruise cost high enough already? On my latest cruise on Star Princess, I was able to outfit myself almost entirely with clearance clothing. In this video, learn how I do it, so you too can stop paying too much for your cruise clothes. Watch my entire Star Princess cruise vlog and sail away to Princess Cay, Amber Cove, and Grand Turk on an inaugural season Eastern Caribbean cruise.
