Creator's Key Takeaways

Camo is for sea days only, never for port days.

Avoid upside down pineapple prints on bags, shirts, swimsuits, even cabin door decorations.

Swimwear stays on the pool deck. Cover-ups are required indoors.

If you hate dressing up, go to the buffet. No dress code, zero pressure.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Avoid camouflage prints on port days in certain Caribbean countries.

✓Do not wear upside-down pineapple prints to avoid unwanted attention.

✓Wear swimwear only on the pool deck and use cover-ups indoors.

✓Avoid shorts in main dining rooms at dinner and choose dark, non-ripped jeans.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Not knowing what prints are forbidden — Avoid camouflage for port days and upside-down pineapple prints entirely.

Dress code confusion for formal nights — Wear something nicer than daytime outfits; no need for tuxedos or gowns.

Foot pain from new shoes — Break in shoes at home for 2-3 days before the cruise.
