Yes, but a lot of pre-planning will have to be done. We were gone a
total of 12 days the last time. We had a two-day "window" where laundry
had to be done (Thanks Princess, I knew that pocket full of quarters
would come in handy) or dirty clothes would have to be rotated in.
Unless you have a specialized piece of luggage, any formal wear will be
in bad shape after the trip to the ship.
And speaking of specialized luggage, with Princess they have it in
writing that you may disembark at any time if you can handle and
control your luggage. So the same must be for embarkation. Your only
restriction would be that it be light enough for you to put up onto the
waist high table and small enough to go through the machine. I have
seen luggage sets that consist of three bags and a suit carrier that
all piggyback on to each other.
