THERE IS PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITY TO WASH YOUR CLOTHES

• 1 Soft bag per person, as described above. (You may be asked to transfer your luggage into different bags). It is requested that all passengers bring a soft bag, no suitcases with wheels, or hard body cases, as they never look the same again, and they can damage others. An overnight bag is perfect or a smaller type duffle-bag. We have found that backpacks with external frames are difficult to stow.
