Mo.nj2va Posted October 10, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Hi! Not only am I going on my first Regent cruise in January (less than 90 days!) but it will be my first ever cruise! I check out these posts every day and have picked up some great tips. I have a question about what most people tend to wear when embarking - jeans, slacks, shorts? Cruise leaves from Miami and I don’t want to underdress or overdress. Thanks for any advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mj_holiday Posted October 11, 2022 #2 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I think for embarkation any apparel is okay, What you traveled in that day, casual and comfortable. You will want to change at 6pm for the evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidTheWonderer Posted October 11, 2022 #3 Share Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) Something I've found to be useful the first time I'm on a particular ship is after boarding and having a refreshing beverage or three is to go up to the highest deck and walk around it, learning what and where is there. Then go down a deck and repeat. By the end you'll have gotten a good idea about the ship, and by then your luggage may well have arrived in your cabin and you can go unpack. Some decks are all cabins, as the deck plans posted on every level will make clear, and can be skipped since all you'll see are long corridors with doors to the suites along them. The elevators are often busy on embarkation day, but walking down a deck via the stairs is a simple alternative.

Roccaforte Posted October 14, 2022 #5 Share Posted October 14, 2022 For embarkation I just dress casually. When sailing from Miami I wear white capris a colorful top and comfy shoes. A lightweight sweater is always good to have with you for air conditioned spaces. I find jeans too warm for tropical cruises so I don’t bring any. I think the Chico’s or Talbots look is the way to go. No need for sequins and gowns. Have a great trip! You’re going to love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo.nj2va Posted October 14, 2022 Author #7 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Thanks for the advice! I have to remind myself that January in Miami is not July in Miami - not as hot and humid! Just plan to be comfortable for checking in, eating lunch, and exploring the ship, before we really get underway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare RachelG Posted October 20, 2022 #11 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Last cruise out of Miami in January was January 2022 on Regent. I wore some colorful printed capris, a sleeveless top, and had a light jacket which I didn’t need. Plus comfortable shoes. Coming back, again in Miami, it was quite cool, and I believe I wore jeans, a warmer top and same jacket which I did need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
