It isn't a big deal.  For many cruises, I drive to the port and I take what I want to take.  Which is, often, more than I need.  Take what you want.  

Yes, I’m driving too. Wasn’t a whole lot worried about lugging a big suitcase. 

Thanks! Perfect answer.

We stopped following cruise line suggestions about special nights when we realized how ridiculous it was for us  to to take a break from work and winter,  then pack suits and dresses in a suit bag  to wear on a winter Caribbean cruise on two or three nights..  It was more like going on a business trip tor me.   DW put a stop to it mid cruise years ago and that was the end of it for us.

 

Same for a Halloween or some sort of other theme night from our perspective.  Not going to happen.

If you take them, they will take up way to much space in your suitcase. you will look silly and you will be the only people on the ship wearing cowboy boots.  Inquiring minds have to ask - why would you wear cowboy boots on a cruise?

I’m not now, lol. Again, it’s my first cruise which is why I asked my original question. I thought I had seen some country music themed activities, didn’t know how much people dressed up or not. Obviously not at all. I’m driving to the port and so I didn’t think lugging a large suitcase was a big deal. Apparently it is. I’m learning.

People, other than cowboys, who own cowboy boots are sometimes seen as poseurs.  Anyone going on a cruise who wants to fill their luggage with their bulkiest articles of clothing, rather than wearing them while traveling, need packing advice.People, cowboys or not, who want to wear cowboy boots on a cruise …

Thank you for your insightful advice and making a new cruiser feel welcome to ask perhaps silly questions.

The plan to pack one's cowboy boots rather than wearing them tends to confirm certain opinions about people who own cowboy boots.

It’s my first cruise but I guarantee no one wants to see my pasty-ass white legs in boots and wearing swim trunks poolside. 

Thanks everyone for straightening me out (like the correction on White Night vs Glow Party). I won't worry about special nights then, except I WILL be packing my cowboy boots, just sayin", lol. 

I am soon to go on my first cruise, Dec 5th for 7 days, and wondering, how do you know what Theme Nights there are on a given cruise? I've seen mention of a "White Night" on NCL cruises, but are there other Themes nights that people dress up for? I know I don't have to bring Formal wear and dressing up nice is optional but...

Thanks for any advice!

NCL is offering this excursion but does not mention an open bar as I see Vallarta does. Anyone done Las Caletas through NCL and can solve this riddle?

I'm wondering if there is any update to this post? I notice NCL still does not mention an open bar.
