The attire is smart casual–anything you would wear out to a nice restaurant in the evening is just fine to wear on the ship. Daytime attire on our cruises is casual loungewear or swimwear. Think: comfortable. Some of our guests even like to wear slippers on board! A compact umbrella is always a good idea regardless of the time of year along with a set of earplugs because you never know when a neighboring ship might have some loud guests and a late night.
