I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your adventures. We're going on the Summit, in Aqua Class, for the umpteeth time in October, but the first since before Covid. And I have to ask a question - your outfits are gorgeous, but you have me in a panic...has it changed that AQ and BLU are no longer just "smart casual" every night? I don't even own any cocktail-type dresses anymore (well, I own them, but they don't fit 😅 , and are years out of style). Same for my long-retired husband's suits. God forbid we should be invited to a wedding anytime soon - we'll both be out shopping. So can you (or anyone) tell me what's the "norm" these days, is it back to the "old" cruising dressy? (which we used to love but are now totally unprepared for). We've been cruising since the 70's and have been through all the changes, but have no idea where Celebrity is right now. And Happy Birthday!

We have had pretty good success with sturdy things, not flimsy fancy (shorts, slacks, shirts socks are fine). I tend to hand wash my underwear and hang in the cabin). But they don't pre-spot, and since we can have spillage sometimes, nothing that you would pre-spot a stain at home.
