Marella Explorer 2 to Jamaica November 2023

[jammowem1954]

We are 1st time cruisers travelling on the Journey to Jamaica cruise in November. Was there a similar cruise to this last year? If so, when would the " Dress to Impress Nights" if any be? Are we to assume this would apply to one of the speciality restaurants like The Dining Club or Kora La? We have also heard about "White" nights and "Bright " nights. Could someone please give us the heads up about this. We definitely want to throw ourselves into the experiences onboard.

The dress to impress night on the shorter cruises is typically the first sea day, not sure about the one you are on. It is not an enforced dress code, just an encouragement to dress smartly. So does not apply speciifically to certain restaurants, just generally around the ship. Never come across the other theme nights on the various marella cruises we have done.

We went on the 17 night transatlantic cruise, from Palma to Montego Bay last year. 
There

 were ( from memory) two dress to impress nights, although no “white”, or “Bright” nights. The dress to impress nights were hardly observed with most people simply dressing as normal for their evening meals ,… smart casual. Although those that did dress to impress were not frowned upon in any way, so you should dress up if you choose to do so on your own cruise.

Thanks very much for your replies. Just another question. Is it possible to take three large cases for the flight to meet the ship, bearing in mind this does not include hand luggage? If so do Marella provide luggage tags for all luggage? 

Sorry about these stupid questions but we booked it on impulse.

Your allowance is 20kgs per person plus hand luggage which can be up to 10kgs. I believe you can split the allowance over 2 cases if you need.

Luggage labels will be available to print off shortly before your cruise

[AlanCruise]

As you get the luggage labels online you can print as many as you want. I believe you have a weight limit for luggage but you can split it over more than one suitcase.

You can also pay for extra weight, but you do have a max per piece, think it's 23kg but check that😉
