I then have new friends for the rest of the cruise! Remember, there are Steelers fans and there are those who are wrong 😉 Will a Penguins shirt do?

tw0sugar5 Posted July 24, 2023 #52 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Depends on the itinerary. I’ve done Bahamas, Western Caribbean, HK to Singapore, and Pacific Coastal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebr.cruiser Posted August 14, 2023 #58 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Depending on weather, shorts or capris with a nice tee. The only photo we take is the embarkation photos, normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roxstarcruiser Posted August 28, 2023 #59 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I'm allergic to photos (hah!), but my plan was to just wear one of my caftans to embark. But seeing these answers has me second guessing myself. Should I just stick to jeans and a t-shirt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluetardis Posted August 28, 2023 Author #60 Share Posted August 28, 2023 @roxstarcruiser what ever is most comfortable to you! You’re on vacation and need to feel comfy and if a caftan is your lounging outfit,….go for it! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted August 28, 2023 #61 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Hi girls, I just boarded a ship in Southampton (yesterday) for a cruise around the British Isles. I wore a long sleeved leapord print top with gold tones and the darker brown in it and a pair of green (sort of faded) but they worked perfectly with this top, jeans. And my standard warm up jacket that I travel with and I felt very comfy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplelife Posted August 28, 2023 #62 Share Posted August 28, 2023 We usually don't anything in particular. This cruise we are doing something different, DH and I are wearing matching cruise-theme T-shirts ("I love it when we're cruising together.")

But jeans and t-shirt have never entered my mind or my packing list for a cruise. And I don't have a caftan. My boarding outfit, now that I sail out of Baltimore after a morning on a bus, consists of black stretch slacks, a nice jersey appropriate to the day's weather, and a jacket appropriate to the weather. Travel sneakers will be swapped out for flats for drinks, dinner, and the evening's activities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeans and t-shirt are fine for the grocery store; a cruise is special. Comfort is good, and the cruise is a chance to break out of the home routine. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeans and t-shirt are fine for the grocery store; a cruise is special. Comfort is good, and the cruise is a chance to break out of the home routine. It is always interesting to hear other’s perspectives, especially those that differ from mine. I personally don’t think anything is wrong with jeans and t-shirt or whatever anyone wants to wear when they board a ship and am surprised to see that someone thinks jeans are inappropriate for a cruise ship. To me, it is a vacation on a big boat instead of at a resort or a land trip. No difference in my mind and actually many of our cruises are part of a longer trip that includes land trips and resorts. I wear the same clothes throughout the trip and wear those same clothes at home. However, I usually don’t wear jeans while traveling because they are bulky to pack. For me, that is what determines what gets packed - how well it packs and if it wrinkles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re on vacation and need to feel comfy and if a caftan is your lounging outfit,….go for it! I don't disagree with "comfortable", but I don't bring anything on a cruise that isn't comfortable. Being a very practical person, I'd add to that thought: - Shoes for easy walking. Think about crossing the parking lot (with your luggage), walking up the gang plank, possibly up stairs /ramp /escalator. Tennis shoes or walking sandals are probably best for most people. - Something with pockets. I always tuck two things into my pockets before I head to the port: a tip for the porters who take my bag and nail clippers. This means I don't have to go into my wallet for an expected expense, and I have a way to remove the zip ties from my luggage when it arrives in my room. If you don't have pockets on your boarding outfit, definitely consider where you're carrying your valuables; losing them can literally ruin your cruise. - Something you don't intend to wear again. Somehow I always end up sweaty on Day 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I don't own any of those. I agree that a cruise is special, but I don't really care about dressing up during the day. Shorts and tee-shirt are fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My late April cruise - I boarded wearing jeans, a white & red striped Tshirt, my jeans jacket. Can't remember if I had on my trail runners or my hiking boots. No one gasped in horror 😉 Some lump all Tshirts into one category of "ok for the grocery store." Women have nice classy tailored-to-a-womans-body Tshirts all over the place, even at work. At least I kept my Smokey Bear Tshirt to wear on the flight home 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threeboysmom333 Posted September 8, 2023 #73 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I tend to always wear white jeans or slacks and a Lily Pulitzer top. Like starting my vacation with bright summery colors. Have NEVER had photo taken, even on my very first cruise (kind of regretting that now that I'm thinking about it) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeuqdrazil Posted September 9, 2023 #74 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Today's embarkation outfit is a white tshirt under a red mid-calf trapeeze sundress. Originally was wearing heeled Fluevog sandals, but after the walk from the hotel in the heat & humidity, I've reverted to my Keen sandals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
