Sorry...I missed your questions:

 

Formal nights: evening 3, 10 & 14

Production shows: Stardust (3-formal); British Invasion (12-casual); Born to Dance (14-formal)

Time changes: 1 hour back (3rd & 5th night); 1 hour forward (9th & 12th night)

 

Princess Theater performances were at 7:45 & 9:45 except for a couple of nights when it was 7:00 & 9:00. Our 6:00 dining time became 5:30 which actually worked better for us going to the theater.

 

We are booked for 6:00 dinner for our cruise in March. I have been concerned about seeing the shows but still keeping an early dinner seating. How did "our 6:00 dining time become 5:30"? Did you change to anytime dining? Thanks!

Now that we are both retired I will have to tweak this system, but when I was working we could only take 7-day cruises. Having had airport security paw thru my suitcases a couple times, I started packing a complete outfit in a 2-gal plastic bag squeezed flat, even underwear. I pack as many outfits as we have days to be gone, keeping in mind the temps & activities I am expecting. My DH does the same. I try to have most separates do double duty if needed; keeping the base color either navy or brown or black helps a lot. Then we pack a swimsuit bag each and 2-3 bags each for dressy clothes (we dance every night!). A basic skirt looks way different with different tops - same for my DH changing shirts & ties with basic slacks. I keep a list of what I intend to wear on each day, including jewelry and shoes. My DH refers to my list. THEN we trade some of our bags so if one suitcase is lost, not all of one person's clothing is lost.
