ugh packing
Can I just say that I hate packing to go away...
We are leaving for Alaska on July 14th (just after midnight we're heading to the airport) and I decided that since we'd be taking long sleeves and long pants I could get started packing...well since we are not familliar at all with the weather DH and I both thought we'd want to be extra prepared, so we're taking short, and long sleeves (and 3/4 for me) for each day...I literally have 2 suitcases nearly full and don't have any of his short sleeves or pants in yet! We can take 2 a piece but we only have 2 suitcases ourselves and borrowed one from his best friend. I guess I'd better figure out what shirts I want to eliminate so DH isn't going naked...

Re: ugh packing
Although the packing part is never fun, Alaska sounds AWESOME!
How long are you guys going for?
Just a suggestion, but laundry service might be available on board.
Also, if DH wears undershirts, might he be able to wear the same long sleeved shirt twice? You can get creative with packing - stuffing socks and underwear inside of shoes, into cracks, etc. (sorry - I know this is unsolicited, I just travel a lot for work and have gotten a lot better at cramming 10 days of business and personal attire in a carry-on suitcase).
Also, don't forget bathing suits if you think you might want to take advantage of the pool - I hate it when I get places and realize I don't have a swimsuit with me!
Thanks for the suggestions, I checked about laundry service because DH only has a handful of pants, it isn't available on our ship
...I am planning to rewear pants and cardigans so really the heart of the issue is that I really need to pick and choose between shirts right now I have one short, one 3/4 and one long for each day plus 3 cardigans and a hoodie...yeah I pack WAY too much!
I also hat epacking!
We went on a cruise to alaska a few years ago around the same time as you and we needed everything! There were days we wore shorts and tanks and some we wore jeans and sweatshirts. I know that probably doesn't help much but it's good to know.
You will have SO much fun! Get off the ship as much as possible. I belive this is the salmon spawning season which is awesome!
ugh I hate packing too, regardless of how excited I am for the actual trip. Unpacking is even worse though.
Alaska sounds awesome though!

Oh no! I don't even have any shorts packed! I figured I'd wear capris out and back and have shorts in my carry on but now I might need to rethink that
