CathyCruises Posted January 15, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Conversely, I bring one small bag that I use every night, and one pair of evening shoes, dressy black sandals. They seem to always have a sale on evening bags for $10 or so, they are not the greatest quality obviously but they're cute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spookwife Posted January 15, 2014 #7 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Hello everyone, first time cruising in about five weeks. Ladies, do you bring evening bag(s) for formal nights? :confused:Thanks. I have a small gold bag that holds my sea pass and lipstick that has a beaded stretchy wrist thingy. very thin and takes up no room at all.

WestLakeGirl Posted January 15, 2014 #8 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Avoid clutches with magnetic clasps. they can demagnetize your SeaPass card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dln929 Posted January 15, 2014 #10 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I bring one because every now and then I like to take photos of my dinner (who doesn't love food porn ;)). No pockets in my dresses for camera so a fancy clutch is just the thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missgoatlady Posted January 15, 2014 #13 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I was a first time cruiser last August and really wasn't sure about what to wear or take with me. I found an evening bag invaluable; I used it every evening to carry my sea pass, hankies and lipstick. During the day time I could put my sea pass in my trouser pocket. Many ladies had an evening bag, not just on formal evenings. Hope you find this helpful and enjoy your first cruise as enjoyable as I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picture Posted January 15, 2014 #14 Share Posted January 15, 2014 yes, I bring one black small bag to put camera , lipstick , seapass etc., I also carry one of those handbag clips that hook on to the table so that my small bag which has a thin chain can hang from it and not take up any table space works great.

CruisersTimesThree Posted January 15, 2014 #15 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I've bought myself several wristlets in the basic colors, black, white, brown, silver and gold to cover anything I might wear. They hardly take up any room in a suitcase. They are the perfect size for a seapass card, lipstick, and my cellphone. Use them all the time at home too when I dont want to carry my entire pocketbook.

drarill Posted January 15, 2014 #16 Share Posted January 15, 2014 yes, but i bring a clutch to match every outfit. i'm one of those girls who brings 7 pairs of heels for a 7 night cruise :D lol. Good to know I'm not the only one!!:):) My "good shoes" and clutches have their own carry on bag!!:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attilamom1217 Posted January 15, 2014 #17 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I have a sparkly wristlet I use on formal nights to hold my sea pass and casino $s, lipstick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miched Posted January 15, 2014 #18 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I think that Celebrity wants you to use the one that they put in cabin because they always pass them out on the day of the formal night. .⛄💨🍻🍸 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baggal Posted January 15, 2014 #20 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Over the years, with airline baggage restrictions being what they are, I have pared down my formal night attire to the basics and have found it very liberating: 1. One black cocktail dress that is worn on every formal night (no matter how many there are) 2. One black pashmina-type wrap 3. One pair of black strappy sandals 4. One silvery wristlet - less than the size of a standard evening bag and easier to hold on to in the casino 5. Some lightweight but glitzy costume jewelry I know that wearing the same dress again and again will horrify some of you but my DH wears the same tuxedo or suit so why shouldn't I wear the same dress?

phoenix_dream Posted January 15, 2014 #21 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Baggal, you are not alone:). I have actually ditched the dress idea, and just bring some sparkly tops and/or jewelry to wear with the same black slacks I wear on any night. I also only bring one small black clutch that I use every night as well. When traveling, black is your friend. When I first started cruising (back when baggage was unlimited on airlines) I brought an outfit for every night and several pairs of dress shoes, purses, etc.. Those days are long gone. Some of it is my advancing age (I still care about how I look; I just don't care what others think about how I look:D), some of it is due to airline baggage fees, and some of it is due to not wanting to hassle with all that stuff. Traveling light is so much less stressful! Not everyone's cup of tea, but works for me for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are the one. 😱 I agree. I wear the same suit and maybe change the tie. Probably wear the same white shirt. I am only wearing it for a few hours as required for dinner and then change back into more casual clothes. .⛄💨🍻🍸 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane2357 Posted January 15, 2014 #23 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) yes, but i bring a clutch to match every outfit. i'm one of those girls who brings 7 pairs of heels for a 7 night cruise :D lol. Count me guilty - but lets multiply heels x 14 nights :eek: then add in the evening bags plus daytime sandals, tennis shoes, flip flops, water shoes - oh and dh's - I need a steamer trunk!

What do they look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do they look like? Same here, had sea pass holders, cloth bags and fold-into-smaller bag bags but not a dress bag :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
