What time of year are you travelling? The balcony for such a short cruise may not be worth it. How many days are you in port?

There are many destinations where I would recommend a balcony not sure if Cork is one of them.

 

Ordinary clothes for the Buffet and smart casual for restaurants i.e. What you would normally wear when going out for the night.

Hi

the cruise is in May

I would have agreed with Kerry, but looking at your dates, you'll have late sunsets almost to 10 pm,  plus 2 sea days...so a balcony could be pleasant.

Having said that, Indy is so chock full of things to see and do, that you'll not be spending a lot of time in your cabin.

Don't forget that you can take a bottle of wine each on board... the drinks are quite expensive on her. 

Look on line for cruise specialist travel agencies- we can't mention names on here- but not just a High Street TA.
