Cruisin' along

Dressing for dinner

  • After booking the cruise, check the dress code pamphlet.
  • Check the cruise line's web page for dressing recommendations.
  • Casual wear will do for the most part...... shorts, T-shirts, jeans, trousers, bermudas.
  • Jeans at the Captain's table are a no-no! Expect at least two formal nights on a seven-day cruise. Formal attire with the appropriate accessories is a must.
  • Check for a theme/talent night and provide for it.
  • Evenings/air conditioning can get chilly. Carry a pullover/jacket/shawl.
  • A comfortable pair of shoes - for all day comfort!
  • Swimwear, sarongs, swimming goggles.

  • A list of all, in your suitcase.
  • Keys - baggage and home.

Hints "Ahoy"!!
