Taking the confusion out of cruise clothing and cruise wear!
To enjoy your cruise vacation, a well planned assortment
of cruise clothing is essential. That doesn't mean that you need to go out
and buy a complete wardrobe of cruise wear. You will very likely have all of
the clothing you will need right in your closet. I'm sure however that many
of you would love to go out and get a "killer" outfit or two for your
cruise.
Cruise and resort clothing can be very subjective. To determine what type of
cruise clothing you should pack, you first need to determine what type of
cruise you are going on. The clothing required for an
Alaskan cruise for
example would not necessarily suit as Caribbean cruise wear.
Just as opposite, barefoot cruise wear would not necessarily suit the
clothing needs of a cruise on the Seabourne Cruise Line or the Crystal Line.
You might choose relaxed, casual, "comfy" action clothing for the former
cruise and more "dress casual" clothing for the latter cruises.
There are three main categories of clothing on cruise ships - casual, dress
casual (semi-formal), and formal.
Casual clothing on a cruise would include swim and sun wear, shorts,
T-shirts, tank tops and the like (for a warm climate cruise). This type of
clothing is acceptable on most cruise ships during the day while on the
decks, and at port. Some cruise ships request that this clothing not be worn
in the interior of the ship - except of course to get to and from your
cruise stateroom. On Barefoot Cruises, this clothing is the attire of choice
for most of the cruise.
In the evenings, many cruise ships request that the clothing be of a dress
casual nature. Jeans, tank-tops, and T-shirts should be stored for your next
day's cruise activities. The cruise clothing of choice for this time could
be slacks and sport shirts with or without jackets for men, and similar
clothing or a dress for women.
Many cruises of seven days or longer have Formal Nights when the clothing of
choice can be really "up-scale". Dark suits and ties, or tuxedoes for men
would be complimented by silky outfits or sequined gowns for the ladies.
This clothing can be rented from the cruise ships, but well in advance of
sailing. On formal nights, there are usually restaurants available that
would allow dress casual clothing, but not normally in the main dining room.
To be sure of the exact clothing requirements or codes for your particular
cruise ship, it is best to check in advance. Having clothing that
compliments the occasion will make your cruise much more enjoyable. Whatever
cruise clothing you choose to take, remember that this is to be a
pleasurable experience. Take the clothing that makes you feel great and your
cruise will be a memorable one!
