Virgin Cruisers

[sketteroo]

Hello everyone. We are first time cruisers sailing on the new Windstar Pride, Athens to Istanbul, October 12-21. We will be taking excursions at every port which involves a lot of walking and we will be spending time in Athens and touring Turkey pre and post cruise for a total of 21 days vacay. Of course, as a woman, my biggest concern is what to wear (comfortable shoes not withstanding). Would leggings and long tunics be appropriate? They are so comfortable, and a little dressier than capris and tees, pack well and launder well. I'm going to dress my DH in khakis and golf shirts. Also, to anyone who has sailed on Windstar: what to wear in the evenings? Do I need a dress and does he need a sports jacket and nice dress slacks?

 

Sorry to babble on, but I'm both excited and nervous, and any advice would be appreciated.

Normal cruise casual wear is fine for most places. I would recommend going to the boards for your ports of call and searching there too. I would also look into the proper attire needed when visiting religious spots (Churches and such) In Europe for example, men can't wear shorts, ladies must have shoulders and knees covered. I would imagine similar in Greece and Turkey.
