We pack for half the number of days of the cruise +1. Just before the halfway point, we do our laundry. We always pack several black plastic 30 gal garbage bags. Great for soiled laundry, sandy beach treasures, etc.

When we were newer at cruising (we've now done 40) we ran into a couple who were more experienced while we were in line to check in at the airport. Each had one suitcase--medium sized. We marveled at the frugalness.

The man told us that they had a system. They put a safety pin on each piece of clothing. When they wore it the pin came off. Anything that returned home with a pin still attached did not get packed the next time.
