Have you joined the Roll Call for your cruise? Often there are people there planning private tours.

How do I join the roll call??

We are new to cruising, this will be our first cruise. We will be departing from La Romana, in the Dominican Republic on the 24th Jan 2018 sailing on the Marella Celebration, our itinerary will be the Coral Islands cruise followed by the Caribbean Gems cruise back to back totalling 14 days.

We would like to book some excursions,but so far we have only looked at the excursions run by the cruise line. I would however like to look at some excursions which could be booked through independent operators.

Could anybody recommend any excursions of this type and where I could read about them

Shorts and sandalls are fine during the day but you would be expected to wear a shirt or t.shirt in the restaurants/bars. In the evening most people wear smart/casual i.e. trousers and an open neck shirt. You would need these to eat in the main dining room, however you can wear shorts in the buffet. Depends what you prefer but most people will be fairly dressed up.

Would jeans be allowed in the evening?

What about shoes? Are canvas deck shoes allowed or does it have to be shoes?

Hello everyone on cruisecritic!

This is my first post so here goes lol

I'm new to cruising, we've booked a cruise for Jan 18 around the Caribbean and as I've never been on a cruise ship I'm not sure what clothes to pack.

Normally on holiday I wear shorts all the time, swimming shorts in the daytime and formal shorts in the evening. Also I wear sandals ALL the time!

So what I would like to know is when wouldn't I be allowed to wear sandals and when wouldn't I be allowed to wear shorts? I'm assuming it might be the evening dinner period but any information would be helpful in helping me decide what to pack & what to buy before sailing

Thanks in advance:)
