What to wear on a cruise

Depending on what type of cruise you go on, and where
you are going, you will want to make certain that you
pack the correct type of clothing. Here are some
things that you might want to take with you on your
cruise:

Formal clothing

Most cruises have at least one formal dining night, so
you will want to make certain that you pack something
appropriate. A long dress or skirt and top are
appropriate for women, for men a tuxedo is a good
idea.

Dressy clothes

Even when it’s not a formal night, you are expected to
dress nicely for dinner if you are eating in the main
dining room. Something that you might wear for
business would be appropriate, no shorts or jeans.

Casual clothing

Again, depending on where you go, you will want to
make sure that you have clothing that you can wear
around the ship. A bathing suit, shorts, comfortable
shoes, short-sleeved tops, and a cover up are good for
warm destinations. If you are going somewhere that is
a cooler climate, like Alaska, you will want to take
jeans, sweatshirts, and jackets with you.

It’s always a good idea to check with your travel
agent to find out what the dress code is for the ship
so that you are comfortable and you fit right in with
everyone else. There is nothing worse than feeling out
of place because you didn’t bring the right attire.
When you are prepared, you can enjoy your cruise and
not worry about wearing the wrong thing.
