Creator's Key Takeaways

Now, cruises have become more casual over the last few years. We even have some new cruise lines and dress codes have definitely changed.

If you're on Disney Cruise Line, for example, you know, it's a pretty familyfriendly cruise line. And if you're on Virgin Voyages, honestly, you are going to see some different things.

So, you definitely do not want to wear that. Now, even on some cruise line websites, they actually do point this out.

And honestly, outside of Kunard, which is a much more formal and traditional cruise line, and they do require a jacket for men. The other cruise lines are not really going to police this.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Avoid wearing camouflage clothing in port due to legal restrictions.
Pack at least one pair of closed-toe shoes for activities and ports.
Avoid wearing pajamas outside your cabin to maintain cruise ambiance.
Leave expensive or flashy jewelry in your cabin safe when in port.
