AndiM123 Posted February 26, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Hi, as a first time cruiser (on a once in a life time trip) that we have booked to celebrate our 50th birthday (which were just before xmas) i have just no idea what other travellers will be wearing on an evening and don't want to look out of place. I don't generally go anywhere that is posh dress and so therefore i normally go out in nice jeans/ trousers and a top. My partner is taking a suit and shirts and a tie etc which we hope is ok (usually easier for me). Can you let me know what is the norm please. We are travelling in March 16 doing Paradise Islands around the Caribbean. We have booked a cabin on deck 7 and hope we will be ok for noise and ship movement. I really would appreciate any help you can give me, thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare dronnygirl Posted February 26, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 26, 2016 It's a great occasion to wear an evening dress butyou don't have to. Many ladies wear evening trousers and a sparkly top. Some really dress up in spangly dresses and some are not so dressy, so just weat what you feel comfortable in. Enjoy your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevedeccaman Posted February 26, 2016 #6 Share Posted February 26, 2016 during the day do not wear a kilt, evening no swim shorts,dining in the Lido casual dress,down below in MD smart no tie needed except on Formal night:eek: when everyone will put on their best frock or suit and shake hands with the man in charge or some may not bother and just go to the Lido enjoy :) Stevie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably over thinking this... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably over thinking this... Thanks For men just trousers and shirt on a night apart from formal night but again you can just wear this in other dining areas, with being first timers I would say go the the all the way I am sure you will enjoy the evening,and ladies go with what you feel comfortable with as you know better than us men that a new dress and a pair or three shoes is what perks you up as I say go with what you feel comfortable with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huddersfieldtourist Posted February 27, 2016 #10 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Other than formal night I would suggest smart casual and you should be fine - just go and enjoy - as long as you dress at least to a standard you would in the UK if you were going somewhere on an evening out you should be fine !

WeeCountyMan Posted March 4, 2016 #13 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Shorts are OK in the MDR for breakfast - which is either buffet or waiter service (in separate areas) as you prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
