Creator's Key Takeaways

One wrong outfit could get you turned away or quietly judged by everyone at dinner.

Cruise ships have rules, etiquette, and some surprising, unspoken expectations.

If you're planning to dine somewhere nice on board, pack at least one pair of pants.

Pajamas are for cabins, not communal dining.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Pack at least one pair of pants for dining rooms.

✓Avoid shorts in main dining rooms, even on casual nights.

✓Don't wear pajamas in communal dining areas.

✓Remove baseball caps at dinner tables.

✓Choose broken-in, comfortable footwear for ship and port walks.
