Cruise Attire
All aboard! Now that summer is nearly here, we know you're thinking about your upcoming cruise that you have booked! Cruises can be beautiful, relaxing, and so much fun! They also can cause stress over what to pack. While bathing suits, casual wear, and flip flops aren't our expertise, we certainly know how to dress you for Captain's Dinner! Are you struggling on the difference between dinner casual, semi-formal, and formal wear? While every cruise line is different, there is a general rule on what to wear to wear after 6 p.m.
Casual Dining
We recommend wearing a cute sundress, skirt, jeans (no holes), or shorts (No jean shorts or athletic shorts) for the ladies. Pair your bottoms with a nice blouse and you should be good to go! Usually flip flops are prohibited in the dining area unless you choose to go to the buffet.
Semi-Formal Dining
Semi-formal dining is the most common dining for cruises. Avoid wearing jeans, shorts, and flip flops. Instead, try a nice cocktail dress like the ones pictured below!
 |
| Check with your cruise line before packing a crop top/skirt attire. With two-piece cocktail dresses on the rise, it very well might be appropriate! Jovani style number 97017 |

| Try a fun Gatsby-like dress like Mori Lee 9360. Black is always classy. |

Sophisticated and sexy. Tarik Ediz style number 90413 is certainly formal enough for such occasion!
