Hi! So, there have been some recent posts about Lanyard use while cruising. I personally don't use one, I use wristlets while onboard, but for those that do, no big deal. They find it convenient and if they prefer to use them, then they should. Well, after seeing some posts here on Cruise Critic, I find it funny how some people find it almost appalling to use them on Celebrity. π€£
That got me thinking.
Not that it matters because I still will, but I'm curious as to what others think of Boarding Day Matching Shirts? Do those same people who scoff at lanyards think the same of matching shirts? π
Ever since my first cruise, we all wear matching shirts the first day. It has become tradition and there are aspects of the design that have 'secret' meanings and traditions along with new things.
I started cruising on Royal Caribbean and then moved to Celebrity. There are definitely less 'groups' with matching shirts on Celebrity.
I have found with each cruise, people love the idea. Strangers come up and comment, the crew comments. Some people will say I saw 'one of you' over there. Some ask questions.
I do it for us. Have always done them and always will. π Everyone knows that if you are a part of a cruise I plan, then you are wearing a shirt. π
Like I said, the anti-lanyard crowd made me wonder about Our Matching Shirts. π
Is there an anti-matching shirt crowd that sails on Celebrity as well? π
Do you wear matching shirts? Do you have a tradition of wearing something special on Boarding Day?
