What to Wear for Men on a Cruise
As a man, you have the option of wearing shorts and sandals on your cruise. This is a great way to stay cool in the heat and look good at the same time. However, if you plan on wearing more formal attire such as collared shirts or blazers, it may be best to bring those along with you for dinner nights.
Shorts: Shorts should be lightweight and breathable fabrics like linen or cotton so that they can easily dry off after being worn throughout an entire day at sea.
What to Wear for Women on a Cruise
-
Maxi dresses: These are a great option for those who want to be comfortable and stylish at the same time. They can be worn on formal nights or just as easily with flip flops around the ship.
-
Sundresses: These are also an easy option for women who want to look nice but don't want to spend hours getting ready in the morning. They're comfortable, come in a variety of styles and colors (and fabrics), and can be dressed up or down depending on what you wear with them!
-
Shorts & sandals: If you're not into wearing pants all day long--and why would you?--then shorts are your best bet when it comes to dressing comfortably on your cruise vacation! Just make sure they aren't too short...you don't want any wardrobe malfunctions happening during dinner!
Cruise Ship Dining Etiquette
Cruise ship dining etiquette is not as strict as it used to be, but there are still some rules you should follow. First of all, check the dress code before dressing for dinner. Most cruise lines will post this information online or in their daily newsletter. If they don't say anything about what to wear, then you can assume that casual attire is acceptable (jeans and t-shirts).
-
No flip-flops
-
No swimwear
-
No tank tops
Formal Dining Etiquette
-
Dress according to the occasion. In formal dining, men should wear a suit or blazer and women should wear a dress or skirt.
-
Be prepared for different dress codes on different nights of your cruise. Some nights may be more casual than others, so it's best to pack multiple options so you can change up your look as needed!
Casual Dining Etiquette
When you're dining at a casual restaurant on board, it's important to know that there are some rules of etiquette. For example, shorts and flip-flops are not allowed in these areas of the ship. Tank tops and swimwear are also frowned upon because they can be considered too revealing for public places like restaurants.
As a general rule of thumb: if you wouldn't wear it in an upscale restaurant at home or work, don't wear it on your cruise ship!
Semi-Formal Dining Etiquette
In the evening, you'll be expected to dress in a semi-formal manner. Men should wear shirts and trousers; women should wear dresses or skirts. If you're not sure what constitutes as semi-formal attire, ask your cruise line or read their website for more information on what they suggest for dinner attire.
What to Wear to Special Events on a Cruise
You'll want to check the event's dress code before you pack your wardrobe. Events like formal dinners and shows often have strict requirements for men and women, so it's important to know what you're getting into before you go overboard with your outfits.
For example, if you plan on attending a show or dinner where there will be live music or dancing (or both), then it's best if both men and women wear something appropriate for these occasions. Men should wear suits or blazers; women should wear dresses or skirts that cover their knees when sitting down at table height tables (this means no miniskirts).
What to Wear to the Pool on a Cruise
-
Swimwear: You'll want to bring a swimsuit, of course. There are many options for cruise-appropriate swimwear--from bikinis to one-pieces, tankinis to board shorts--and you can choose whatever style suits your personal preference.
-
Cover-ups: A cover-up is a great way to stay comfortable while keeping covered up around the pool area. They come in all shapes and sizes (from sarongs to beach towels), so there's something for everyone!
-
Sandals: Cruise ships tend not to have sand on their decks--they're usually covered with non-skid material--but if you prefer wearing sandals around the ship anyway, keep in mind that they may get wet from splashing water or raindrops falling off umbrellas above your head as other passengers walk by (this happened once!). Also consider bringing extra pairs just in case one pair gets damaged during your trip; it happens more often than you think!
What to Wear to the Beach on a Cruise
When you're at the beach, you want to be comfortable. That means not wearing a lot of clothes and definitely not being weighed down by heavy shoes or boots. The best thing to wear is swimwear that covers up your body--you don't want to get sunburned! You can also bring along a cover-up in case you need it later in the day when it gets warmer outside. Sandals are another great option if you don't want bare feet on hot sand all day long; flip flops are an option as well if they fit better with your outfit than regular sandals do (and they won't get lost!). Hats provide shade from the sun's rays while also protecting hair from getting messy in saltwater or sunscreen sprays while out swimming around on shore excursions during port days at sea! Sunglasses help keep eyes protected from UV rays too so make sure they're always handy when heading out onto land after spending time under water during snorkeling excursions off cruise ship decks!
