Thanks for the answers I just read. Ken has worn cargo pants every cruise for the evening, except for the formal dinners and I think he has always looked fine. They are the type that zip off and have pockets on the side. Like I said, from Costco so you might have seen them. With a button type shirt or a golf shirt, they look nice. Also, he is taking brand new ones. he hasn't hiked, cut the lawn or mud wrestled [hee hee] in them, so I think he won't offend anyone. Actually, he doesn't really care. what can I say, he is a casual man, haha. Likes comfort, crazy man! He has to lug the suitcase up and down B&B stairs for over three weeks when we go on to England, so I will let him chance offending some people. Please note, that I am writing this with tongue in cheek. We are going to be on the Nautica in April, so if you see him coming and it will offend you, don't look! haha.

Thank you all who took the time to answer my ?? on what to wear onboard. I can see that there is/was a difference of opinion so I will go with the answer that I wanted to hear, mainly that my husband doesn't need a sport jacket because he doesn't own one and isn't about to buy one. We always lug a suit along for formal night on other lines, and it is a pain to carry after we finish the cruise and head off for a month of independant travel.

The cargo pants that I had referred to are brand new [Costco] and the same type have done all the other cruises.

thanks again everyone.

Hi everyone,

We are going on our first ever Oceania cruise, Temples and Treasures, departing from Bangkok April 1st. We aren't sure what type of clothes to pack. I don't mean what to pack... we are seasoned cruisers, but rather how fancy or casual. I am referring to when we are on the ship in the evening and at dinner. What exactly is country club casual? My husband doesn't like getting dressed up but rather likes polo shirts and cargo pants. Will this be OK or does he need a pair of dress pants? I like getting a bit dressy so I can dress up AND be taken out, haha.

Thanks in advance.

Sheila and Ken

thanks to all who took the time to answer my questions on the quality of food on the Oceania cruises. Sorry I took so long to answer but I still haven't got the hang of how to use this site. Brand new to it.

My husband and I are going to be on the Bangkok to Rome cruise on March 31st. This is our first time with this cruise company and we are looking forward to a different line. My question, is how does the food compare to other lines like Celebrity, HAL and Princess? Are the desserts in the buffet pretty much the same or do they have real yummy ones that I should TRY and resist, haha.

Also, not being used to a smaller ship, I was wondering if you feel a bit claustrophobic.

Thanks.

Sheila
