What are “Sunday-type dresses”?

Think back to when women dressed for religious services on Saturday or Sundays in a dress worn with heels.

On our last Seaborne cruise to Alaska, I noticed that evenings in the Collinade were a bit more dressy. Saw nice slacks with dressy tops on most women and Sunday type dresses. However, on this Antarctica cruise folks who wish to eat alfresco will be wrapped up so the entire vibe may be more casual. 

I love to dress up but  packing is always an issue. My experience on previous Seaborne cruises is that evening dining is offered in various venues. We noticed on our last cruise that evenings in the casual restaurant at the back of the ship were a bit more dressy than previous cruises. Nice pants and pretty tops appeared to be the go to outfit for women. However, on this Antarctic cruise outdoor dining on the back deck  is an option so we may see a more casual attire. At any rate you are welcome to join Russ and I anytime. We are from Texas and not used to cold weather. We will be the ones huddled under blankets. 

Meant humidity not gumidity....although Amazon river could be gooy. 

I too will be on the Antarctica cruise in Feb. Jeans have never been a go to option for me as they provide very little warmth. I will probably pack a pair but casual day wear for the Antarctic part of the cruise  will be heavier fabric  slacks. It is a bit difficult to choose clothing as we go from Antarctic cold to Amazon heat and gumidity. Looking forward to meeting you onboard. 

So, what’s the problem?

On our last Seabourn cruse I don’t remember any evening that coats, ties and/or evening dress was required. Cocktail dress appeared optional. A nice black dress or neutral color is always good. We ate much of the time in the casual restaurant and will probably do so again on this cruise.
