Creator's Key Takeaways
What you wear on a cruise in 2025 can make or break your trip.
The wrong clothes can leave you sweaty, uncomfortable, overdressed, or underdressed, or even get you turned away from dining rooms or excursions.
Pack light, breathable clothing, linen shirts, lightweight dresses, moisture wicking polos, and quick dry shorts.
Always bring shoes you've already broken in.
