Swim suit coverup

[newcruisercanada]

I will be cruising on a HAL ship in January, and was wondering if a coverup that it to the knees, but lacy/see thru/ mesh type of material is appropriate.

It's fine on the pool deck, but don't be surprised if "see-thru" isn't allowed in the buffet or other eating venues....they do not want to be able to see butt or belly in the restaurants. It's fine at the pool or beach...or going to and from your cabin.

This is just me, but I don't "get" the see thru/mesh cover-up. I would focus on getting a lightweight sundress that you like and that way you can wear it anywhere on the ship.

 

I bought a cotton maxi dress that had a bit of a lower cut than I would normally wear. It worked out perfectly for a ship cover up. A cover up should COVER UP and if you can see your goodies thru it then why bother. :D

On Carnival it would be fine for the outdoor dining venues and for the buffet. I don't know about Hal as I've never sailed that line before.

You'll see lots of women in this type of coverup. As others stated, if you plan to enter the restaurants or buffet, you'll probably need something with a bit more coverage. That's not to say that you won't see women in the buffet wearing the exact same thing :) But if you want to wear it for hanging out by the pool, going to-from the pool (or on excursions) then you'll be just fine.
