Creator's Key Takeaways

the most important thing to remember is you have options and choices - there's a cruise line for everyone and a dress code (or not) to suit all tastes

piano cruises talk about smart casual trousers and tops shirts and skirts and also darker denim

in my experience and compared to other Cruise Lines the majority of p o clientele and particularly on smaller and more traditional ships will tend to opt for Formal Wear on Black Tie nights

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack accordingly for black tie nights based on cruise duration and ship
Wear smart casual with trousers, tops, shirts, skirts, or darker denim for evening casual nights
