cruise question?

Question

im going on a cruise what should i bring and do you know about csaual night and the fancy attire or wutever just tell me everything you know?

Answer 1

Bring extra of everything. We packed double tops and bottoms and undies and still found ourselves rationing clothes to make it through the trip. They do not offer laundry service only dry cleaning and pressing for formal attire. It depends on the ship but all should have one formal night. My ship had two, one for each of the dining sessions in the main dining hall so the captain could have dinner with both seating times. Men wore suits or rented a tux from the on board tux shop. Women wore gounds or expensive dresses for the most part. Pant suits were a no no. Other nights there was not really any set rules. No jeans or swim wear, but nice T shirts were allowed. We usually wore a nice T type top or light knit type top or button down. One night we were late getting back from our excursion and had to eat in T shirts we bought on the island. We would have skipped the sit down dinner than night and had something in the other food outlets, but it was lobster night so too bad! They didn't have any complaints though. If your going to go to any beach on any island stops you must have sea shoes. They are dirt cheap, about $12 and are a must to protect your feet from coral and rocks on most beaches and paths.

Answer 2

Well, if you dine in one of the restaurants, with the waiters and waitresses, girls/women can't wear jeans; it's either skirts or dress. There is usually one night that they have a fancy dinner--a formal night where you meet the captain all the important people--and usually people go a little more formal than any other nights. Also, don't bring to high of heels because if the ships rocks or sways, then you'll probably end up twisting an ankle.
You should also go see the shows/plays/musicals on board--they're very entertaining.
Oh yeah, don't eat cake on the cruise because they make the cake before they depart and then freeze it so the flavor of the cake is gone and it tastes like you are eating a sponge.
Then, bring A LOT of quarters because if you get a stain in your shirt or something then you need to be able to put stuff in the washing/drying machines they have on board before the stain sets.
**--**Always carry your keycard--the card they give you before you board--because you never know when you are going to need it
Bring enough spending cash--or take your credit/debit cards--and bring enough cash so you can tip the person who cleans your room and, if you get them, your waiters/waitresses.

Have fun on your cruise

Answer 3

I have been on many Caribbean cruises and this is what I suggest.

The dress on ship is casual all day until 6:00PM. So take swim wear, shorts, sandals, beach shoes, your snorkel equipment if you have it, sun glasses and sun screen, lotions, a cap or big hat for the sun, a book if you are a reader, your music player, sneakers and clothes to workout in if you like to use the gym, your camera, and other personal toiletries.

After 6:00 PM they request that you wear "sports casual" attire. That's attire that you would expect a person to wear in a business office, shirt with a collar, slacks, skirt, blouse, etc. You can still wear shorts and swim wear in the pools and spas but not in public areas like dining rooms and restaurants, show rooms, bars, casino, etc.

Most 7-day cruises have two formal nights when you can wear your best stuff and get pictures taken, and maybe meet the ship’s Captain. The formal nights are REQUESTED not required attire. But most people do dress up in a tux for men and a long dress (any color) for women. Some men just wear a suit and tie and some women wear a nice dress but not a gown. You will not be denied access to the dining room or anything else if you choose not to dress up. (we usually take off the formal stuff after dinner and pictures anyway).

Its best to pack using soft-sided luggage because with space limited in your cabin it fits under the beds better if its not hard sided luggage. Take a small carry-on bag for the last night of the cruise. On the last evening you will be required to put your luggage outside your cabin by about 2:00 AM so that they can start taking it down to the lower deck for offloading the next morning. So you will need a small bag for your toiletries and and your clothes that you sleep in.

Pablo Cruise did the music Love will detect a fashion. I bear in mind the album conceal is blue. I nevertheless like that music. Beats Tom Cruise with the aid of a mile. yet a Mediterranean cruise could be particularly intense high quality precise now.

Answer 5

if you are going on a port intensive cruise then I recommend flip flops and sundresses, shorts and tank tops if your going to beach bum it... if you are in tour hiking or trail like excursions then I recommend some comfy sneaker and lot of bug spray...

I usually pack anywhere from 3 - 5 bathing suits but that's just me.

if you have more sea days than port days I would pack shorts and tee for daytime and capris and casual skirts with cute tops for nights

formal is one of the things I look forward to I like to dress up But a simple black dress will do.

I also pack a little just in case bag its usually a large zip lock bag with dramamine (motion sickness meds) advil, pepto, neosporyn and band aids these things are very expensive on the ship and the ports...

I have always booked an inside cabin and they can be very dark so I pack a nite lite

Happy sailing!!!

Answer 6

I always just bring casual clothes, except for one night of formal attire. I usually have a dark suit, white shirt, and tie. The rest of the nights, I just go in slacks and a button down shirt. For daytime wear, I have jeans of khakis and a casual shirt. We do not use the pool on the ship, so we do not wear swimsuits.

Answer 7

lucky, i love goin on cruises.
anyways, bring a bathing suit. if ur goin to a beach location, bring two just in case. bring lots of clothes to change in (of course).
and formal nite, bring a dress. it doesnt hav to be very formal. just simple, but not sundress simple, if u know what i mean. cruises stress a lot about what to wear and what not to, but don't worry, ur regular clothes will do fine evryday except for formal night.
then bring any other things u may need such as towels, cameras..etc. but soap and toothpaste,etc is provided.

Answer 8

i packed 2 bathing suits, so i would always have a dry one, and then i had a couple of those tank one piece sundresses. they are perfect for throwing on over your bathing suit. Flip flops, of course. There is one night that you have a formal dress for dinner so bring a pair of dress shoes too. Oh, and don't forget undies and you should be good to go. Have fun!

Answer 9

First thing comes to mind is if you are in an inside cabin bring a nightlight or a led clock. Trust me on this one. Two to three swimsuits, tampons (just in case), Ginger capsuls, phone/camera battery charger, sunscreen, and a hat. If I didn't bring them, I needed them and bought them.

Answer 10

It depends on the cruise line. Check the specific website for the one you're using. I've been on cruises where it's almost ALL casual.
