Suggested guidelines for these nights are:
• Casual: Sport shirts and slacks for men, sundresses or pants for women
• Smart Casual: Jackets and ties for men, dresses or pantsuits for women
• Formal: Suits and ties or tuxedos for men, cocktail dresses for women
For fun... There are four very important types
of books you'll want to consider packing:
• Travel guides - to help you explore new destinations
• Poolside pleasures - nothing beats a great read in the sun
• Journal - keep an account of your adventure for sharing and reminiscing
• Address book - send your friends a postcard to make them jealous
Binoculars are another often forgotten, yet indispensable travel item. Be sure to
pack a pair for magnified excitement onboard and onshore.
Save space...
Be sure to leave some room in your luggage for all those souvenirs and mementos.
Some space-saving ideas include:
• Bring shirts and pants/skirts that mix and match, turning three outfits into five
or six.
• Wear your heaviest shoes during embarkation and disembarkation so you don't have
to pack them.
• Pack small items inside larger ones for efficiency.
• Bring an additional empty bag for those acquired extras.
The number of smart casual and formal nights is at the ship's discretion.
Note: *Some 12-night European cruises may have 3 formal nights
For formal nights you'll need cocktail dresses for women, suits and ties - or tuxedos
- for men and for the smart casual nights bring dresses or pantsuit for women,
jackets for men.
Remember, shorts, T-shirts, and bathing suits are not considered appropriate attire
in the dining rooms at dinner. Casual dress dining is available nightly in the Windjammer
Café. And be aware you'll also need smart casual attire for some of our specialty
restaurants.
We also offer tuxedo rentals for formal dinners and special occasions, onboard.
Onshore attire...
You'll need comfortable walking shoes, as well as a hat and sunscreen for protection
from the sun.
If you are cruising to Northern Europe or Alaska, remember that nights on deck can
be cool. Bring sweaters, jackets and long pants. And if you'll be touring any museums,
cathedrals or churches, it's always wise to dress conservatively. You may also want
to bring a raincoat, hiking shoes and a travel umbrella. And don't forget your swimsuit
- it may be cool outside but it's always warm in our Solarium.
