TheFerret Posted April 6, 2010 #3 Share Posted April 6, 2010 What Jennifer said, and double dittos on the shawl. I'm always freezing in the public rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maineac Posted April 7, 2010 #6 Share Posted April 7, 2010 We're also on the same cruise, May 29th- June 5th. It will be the second half of our B2B. Like yourself, we'll be spending time pre and post cruise with land travel...... Packing as light as possible, is our goal.....So, I'll be the women wearing the same black Palazzo (with different tops) for formal nights.

ging466 Posted April 8, 2010 #7 Share Posted April 8, 2010 So, I'll be the women wearing the same black Palazzo (with different tops) for formal nights. Cheers, Judy Shock, horror! How will all the other passengers cope? :D Cheers Jennifer (ging466) P.S. I reckon your idea is the way to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trim2gofast Posted April 8, 2010 #8 Share Posted April 8, 2010 We are on the same cruise. Any idea what the temperature will be like that week? Good advise about bringing a shawl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfathomable Posted April 8, 2010 #9 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Any idea what the temperature will be like that week?May/June in the Med: you could get anything from cool, wet and windy to (fairly) hot and sunny. For example, Venice gets about 3 inches of rain in June. The quoted minimum of 60F and maximum of 77F are really not that meaningful because the variability is significant. Standard travel clothing advice applies: dress in layers, and include a waterproof! Once onboard, there is an umbrella in your suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been keeping track of the temperatures for our ports of call with Weather Underground....You can save the locations into "favorites", and they'll be available for quick viewing, as often as you want.

eliana Posted April 9, 2010 #11 Share Posted April 9, 2010 We're looking forward to Silversea moving into the 21st century and making all evening dress codes smart casual or Country House casual, as is now the case on Regent and Oceania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seagirl2002 Posted April 9, 2010 #13 Share Posted April 9, 2010 This is the 21st century and I am in my thirties ...and I certainly hope Silversea will stay with their dresscode. I love the formal nights. And actual I would prefer the dress code as it used to be a few years ago.....by that time it was even a bit more strict then it is now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the formal nights. And actual I would prefer the dress code as it used to be a few years ago.....by that time it was even a bit more strict then it is now I love the formal nights, too -- as I'm sure many others do. Why do some people think that formal wear is somehow not modern, not 21st century? Hey, I've seen some gorgeous formal wear so far in this 21st century, and look forward to being able to wear such fabulous duds. Don't change, Silversea! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldens4 Posted April 9, 2010 #16 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I enjoy the formal nights and also hope SS continues. In fact, I like the idea that they have a "dress code". I think that is what sets them apart in the cruise industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is what sets them apart in the cruise industry. Yes!!! I think that dressing-up gives a "specialness" to an occasion, and confers a certain beauty, artistry, and elegance that sets the event apart from the mundane. Maybe, this is why formal events have never really gone out of favour. How sad it would be if we were relegated to a kind of proletariat uniform (i.e. "smart casual") for all purposes.

clkc86 Posted April 10, 2010 #21 Share Posted April 10, 2010 But which tiara to bring? Hmmm, will take some thought, good thing I have the better part of a year to consider it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're lucky to have many to choose from. Hmmm, why not bring one for every night? Raise the glam quotient, and dash any of those "country club casual" enthusiasts that might be fomenting discontent. ;) :D Have fun on your cruise. I think you will on SS!
