the admiral12 Posted June 30, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I leave on the Island Princess this week, which will be my 10th cruise but my first Alaskan cruise. I have seen posts about super casual wear on Alaskan cruises. Is it that much different than a regular cruise? Is formal night still coat and tie? Should I just pack jeans and shirts?

mapleleaves Posted June 30, 2014 #2 Share Posted June 30, 2014 This question has been asked and answered many times. Here's one such post with responses. Except for dinner wear, clothing is the same for men and women. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2049870 Which ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted June 30, 2014 #3 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Inside the ship people dress as they do on many other cruises but outside you will dress warmer depending on the outside temperature. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sept10dsm Posted June 30, 2014 #4 Share Posted June 30, 2014 and be sure to dress in layers! and bring rain gear and a pair of extra shoes. On my Alaska cruises we had sunshine all days! but, being in a rain forest, rain is the norm. We were told on our first cruise by our Captain how lucky and rare our weather was. Usually 10% sun! is what he stated. Anyway, all types of clothes for an Alaska cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdisney Posted June 30, 2014 #5 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Layers is the key, and a light rain jacket is good as well as a travel umbrella for ports. Never know when you might encounter rain. On deck while cruising it can be chilly - particularly in the evenings and definitely when cruising something like Glacier Bay. In ports I've worn shorts and short sleeve shirts, you just never know. For example, in Skagway in 2011 we encountered sun and 80 degree temperatures. In 2012 it was cold and rainy when we went. For the MDR, it's like any other cruise I've been on, from what we've seen.

Nancyquilts Posted July 1, 2014 #7 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Inside the ship, we wear the same things as on any other cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted July 1, 2014 #8 Share Posted July 1, 2014 In Alaska we do dress in layers knowing that the temperature can vary. But on the ship we dress just we would on any other cruise. People still do dress up for formal nights but not as fancy as on the longer cruises and Med cruises and even the Caribbean cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
