Good Morning Forum,

I'm writing seeking some basic advice; I haven't been on a cruise ship since a short Holland America Trip about 15years ago.

I was gifted this trip from my father and don't really know what to expect.

Formal Clothes wise - Is Jacket/Tie acceptable?

Daily Dinner Ware - Collared Shirt / Sweater fine?

Any tips/tricks I should be aware of? (Other then making dining reservations in advanced).

Any general Cruising tips that may be helpful/useful?

Any advise is appreciated but  I am very excited.
