On our recent cruise to Alaska for Hunki's 45th High School Class Reunion, we hosted the "party suite" and marked our door with a big balloon.

Living in Seattle, we "layer dress" all year long so our normal clothes worked great in Alaska.

We each took one roll aboard and then shared one additional suitcase for our common gear, like binoculars, teapot, walkie talkies, resistance bands for work outs, etc., and, of course, Hunki's fancy duds. My formal wear is, for the most part, very crushable and easily packable, and, since we have no reason to go outside when we are formally dressed, our formal duds don't need to be warm. We both actually prefer very lightweight formal wear as we almost always end up dancing all night long when we get dressed up and dancing can be pretty intense exercise.

Our next cruise is a one nighter from Seattle to Vancouver, so we will probably only take and share one roll aboard.
