Maybe a bit of all of the above…
or just a dire need for a vacation.
Cruising is the only time Dispatch can’t call me…

For us...well, ill put it this way:
We got off Oasis of the Seas on April 3. We dont get on Grandeur of the Seas until April 16, 2023...We're already packed...
Im Kidding...Kind of...
We have certain things we always take, so they always stay packed: My Magnum PI Red "Birds of Paradise" Shirt. Detroit Tigers hat, and Aviators, Swimsuits, sun hats, charger bases, etc.
About 90 days before, we start getting the summer stuff out of the attic(No point having it out during the winter, as we have 9 months of winter, and 3 months of bad sledding): 1) to make sure it fits 2) to make sure its clean
and then we stare longingly at the luggage for 3 months, until its time to go...

I usually start a week out give or take. Pulling things out that may need a wash before we go and putting things aside that are already clean and that I do not want to wash again before going. Will usually make a list of things not packed that I want in there and those are done day before we leave. As we usually have a full days drive and leave the house at 5 am via car the day before cruise packing is always complete the day before we leave.

Last minute (morning of) for my wife and I. If we do it any earlier we have too much time to think about it and GROSSSLY overpack. This way, we only "mildly" overpack.
I can't speak for her personal best time but I've done it in about 15 minutes, which is probably 10 more than I should be allowed.
