Love getting dressed up for dinner! It's a good way to use and show off all of those bridesmaid and other wedding clothes :P

[@GoodWitchIntuitiveTarot]

I feel kinda dumb asking this.... I’m going on a carnival cruise. There is an 80’s night. My daughter and I are freaks for the 80’s so we are very excited! But I’m not sure if we are supposed to wear our 80’s outfits to dinner? We are hoping to be wearing stylish ripped jeans and band shirts and big 80’s hair, etc. This is not our usual dining attire for dinner of course.

[@brendadodd2908]

Great video! Wish I was packing right now! Another tip is to bring thin water shoes or aqua socks. Beaches on excursions can be rocky or rough even in the Caribbean. I never forget them now.

[@LifeWellCruised]

That’s a great one! I don’t know why I always forget to mention it. I should really try out some new ones. Any you like best?

[@tduck828]

I bought a cheap pair from walmart. They have lasted a long time.

[@SandyToes75]

That is a great tip. I didn’t have any and had to purchase some in Jamaica at Dunn River Falls in my last cruise. They actually did not last the entire up/back and play at the falls time! They fell apart in the walk back to the van. I bought a pair from LLBean at one of their outlet shops a few weeks later. They have been on about 6-7 cruises. It was a great purchase and the are holding up really good.

[@janbeasley4251]

I bring a small flat cotton crossbody bag that is just large enough for my tablet. Our cabin is often at the opposite end of the ship from the dining areas. If we find a pleasant spot after a meal, we often just sit and enjoy the view or read before we head back to our cabin. I add my lip gloss, cruise card and sunglasses and we are good for whatever we decide to do.

[@glenda6607]

I change 4 or 5 times a day depending on activities.😄Workout clothes AM, bathing suit w/ coverup for pool,capris and nice top for lunch on sea days,extra sun dress on port days packed into my backpack,a dress for dinner and then pjs for bed time .A lot of times I can re-wear something later if I only had it on for a couple of hours.At home I don't get the opportunity to dress up much, so I like to do so on my yearly cruise.Paying the extra for checked bags is worth it to me because I like to have lots of options.I choose 10 day cruises since it's my only vacation.Princess has laundry mats on most cabin floors.$3 to wash,$3 to dry.Charged to your Medallion or key card.Bring your own detergent and dryer sheets.Theirs is expensive.If I have 2 sea days at the end of my 10 day, I usually will do a load even though it's not necessary.

[@LifeWellCruised]

Why not? It’s your vacation and it’s the time to live your best life, right? Sounds like you enjoy every moment 🥂

[@marthaworc7873]

Bring my own detergent? That will not go over well on the flight I will be taking.

[@lorrajulian8622]

Really enjoy your tips! Leaving on cruise #10 soon. I've gotten to where I wear a "signature color" ("Navy" blue, no less!) so I can mix and match clothes. Solid pants with a few patterned blouses for dinner. For a formal night cruise I bring one cocktail dress. I found that I never really dirty most clothes so wear shorts and pants multiple times. With each cruise I pack less! I am down to THREE pairs of shoes: tennis shoes, flip flops, and sandals for dinner (and light "aqua socks" for the beach).

[@LifeWellCruised]

Firstly thanks so much for your kind words! I love the idea of a signature color & navy is perfect (it’s a Favorite of mine). Wow, you’ve got great capsule wardrobe tips 👌

[@texasboy5117]

We always bring our “uniforms” for the evening wear. Her little black dress, and my navy blazer with gray trousers. It’s works great on board and ashore for better restaurants.

[@LifeWellCruised]

That’s a super tip! True a nice dressy outfit doesn’t limit you at all

[@eminiarvii]

Have missed very few years of cruising since i began in 1972. That was a time when formal meant FORMAL. Everyone had long gowns on and men were in Tux. I am glad now that the cruise lines are not that stringent. Formal night i wear cocktail dress or a nice midi dress and accessorize accessorize. Sun dresses and leggings for smart causal. I did a South American cruise in jan 2020 and i had all different color and design leggings for all my land excursions. Having 3 swimsuits if you can is a must…oh and i loved the idea on your other vlog about the magnetic hooks i have them to hang my swim wear on so i don’ t take up the bathroom hook with them as there will be 3 in our cabin😊 on the Sky Princess in December for 10 days. You were spot on for the clothing. Ps princess laundromat is the best..so i can have plenty of room for any formal attire as i can do a wash for my casual things.

[@LifeWellCruised]

I agree with you. I love the look of people all dressed up but am glad that the long gowns and tuxes aren’t required anymore. We did this on our first couple cruises though & it was fun!! Have an amazing cruise on Sky Princess!! Thanks for the tip about Princess laundry rooms :)

[@sueobenauer8855]

Oooo I love that blue outfit you have on in this video!! 😊😊

[@54Mello]

Hubby dropped the suit for formal night many years ago. On casual nights he wears khakis with nice polos and on formal nights he wears dress pants, shirt, nice sweater with a tie. I’ve been wearing the same black dress for as long as I can remember. :). When we return home I send it to the dry cleaner then I pack it until our next cruise. It’s the only time I wear it. It’s a classic and never gets old. For casual nights I wear summer dresses and for port days I wear skorts.

[@LifeWellCruised]

This sounds perfect and works well for formal nights. Love your idea for the black dress and having it ready for the next cruise 👌

[@missyduncan2110]

I always make a daily dress schedule for each day of the cruise and also a detailed packing list for a cruise. I only bring one 'extra' outfit in case. I only bring clothing that is wrinkle-free. And, I only bring 4 pairs of shoes: sparkle flat sandals, sparkle low wedge sandals, casual sandals, and sneakers. For formal nights, I wear the same black crepe pants and a black or hot pink one-shouldered top, a fancy headband, and statement costume jewelry. For swim suits, I bring tankinis: a hot pink bottom and top, a black bottom and top, and a navy/white top to wear with either bottom. If the same people were on multiple Caribbean cruises with me, they'd recognize eveything I'm wearing because I have dedicated cruisewear. When I'm not on a cruise, I store swimsuits, cover ups, sparkle shoes, waterproof phone bag, evening clutches, my cabin magnetic hook, travel PooPourri, my cabin door decorations, etc. in a large Rubbermaid container. Thanks for sharing some fabulous tips!

[@laspalmas4844]

As an experienced cruiser I must say that I Absolutely Love the Formal Evenings where we get to dress up. We always dress up in our Tuxedos and lack shoe's. That in combination with the dining experience is for us The Pinacle of The Entire cruise. A little bit of Dynasty. Absolutely Love it. Greetings from Norway, Northern Europe 🇳🇴🇳🇴🇪🇺🇪🇺

[@tonisweeney3942]

Going on my first cruise next week and your videos have been so extremely helpful! I'm a bit less panicked about what I need or don't need to bring with me. Thank you so much!!!

[@isabellepalmot9933]

Thank you for the vid. I love to cruise with Royal CCL on a 7 days cruise so there is 1 formal night + 1 semi formal nigh. I love to dress up like a star 💥💥 for these nights and be just fancy chic the rest of the week.

[@LifeWellCruised]

Good for you!! Isn’t a cruise a chance to live your best life? ❤️

[@sandyrybak975]

Great video as always Ilana! All your suggestions are right on! And as you become more of a seasoned cruiser, you do get better packing and remembering things. Now that the kids are gone, I actually have a room in my house pretty much designated for cruising. So most things stay in that room, which makes it helpful not forgetting to pack anything . Lol When I first started cruising, I did dress more formal. I brought a cocktail dress and my husband brought a tux or nice suit. And of course, you have to bring the right shoes, etc. But flying has changed since then, and with the tighter luggage restrictions (size wise) and weight … I am very happy the cruises have eased up on Formal night. For Chic nights, I now bring nice dress pants and glitzy or fancier tops … and that works just fine … and much lighter in the suitcases. And hubby never liked getting all that dressed up so he’s quite happy now wearing nice pants and a nice short or long sleeve shirt. You can still look well dressed but you don’t have to be formal. I have also noticed that on Caribbean cruises, the dress is a lot less dressy than on European cruises. So the itinerary does make a difference, as do the passengers. And I think Europeans also like to dress more formally, and it does look great … just not for us anymore. I am very much looking forward to getting back on board a cruise ship this February. Wishing everyone … HAPPY SAILING!

[@LifeWellCruised]

I love the “chic” nights too and am definitely less formal than years ago. Love the idea of a “cruise room”!! Nice cruise for you coming up

[@sharonhaapakoski2634]

We also have an area in one of our guest rooms that has all our cruise essentials. So easy to just go there and grab what is there and know that I am set.

[@ChloeBensonBeautyBoxes]

On Carnival it’s very casual even on formal night. Some people dress up but we just changed at night to long pants. Any shirt seemed ok all the time and they never cared about shoes. I wore crocs and sun dresses a lot.

[@LifeWellCruised]

Thanks for sharing your experience. I always think it’s more valuable to hear from people on the ships that can share exactly what it was like

Going on our 18th cruise in April. I really enjoy dressing up on the formal nights. We we're on a 14-day Hawaiin two years ago and we opted out for a couple of the formal nights. It was kind of a trip to walk down the hallway in shorts/jeans t-shirts & tennis/flip flops while every one else was dressed up. But it also felt good to just chill at the buffet. It wasn't as crowded. And my feet thanked me for the break from heels 😀

[@unclebobfoldsmoreplanes5543]

My job as the Grumpy Guy!!! or “I'm the guy with bad attitude” I'm having a effing great time on this cruise and I mean that with all the facetiousness and insincerity I can muster on this trip. Mustering is a good term. Too bad the mustering is only done online with watching a few videos, and showing up on the designated deck just to have someone check off that I showed up on the designated deck. There was no practice putting on lifejackets, no practice getting on lifeboats. We only did one cruise several years ago, prior to this one and I felt safer on that one, because we were taught, with practice, how to put on the lifejackets. Let's look at the music and other sounds on this ship. They play pop music all day in the buffet, at annoyingly loud volumes. I spoke with the buffet manager about this on the second day and he reduced the volume some, but it is still bothersome. The live music and shows would be good or even acceptable but the volume is intolerable. I had to bail out of the first live show last night after about 15 minutes because of the volume. What makes this worse is the echo. All the music and the ship noises echo thoughout the ship. There only a couple of places I can find that are QUIET!! I've had a headache since I boarded this ship, but I don't want to stay in my room all the time for an 12 day cruise. If I had to do that, I'd rather fly to my destination, and spend all of my vacation there in my hotel, rather than suffer from the torment of the noise. I went to the Guest Relations desk to complain and to see if there was anything that could be done, and I was told that I should go back to my room for the duration, or wear earplugs. ARRGGGHHHHH! Did I mention I've been laughed at by the staff in Guest Relations twice now? Once when I first complained about the volume of the entertainment, and another time when I was trying to locate my wife for a medical appointment. Also, my wife was laughed at by a staff member as she was trying to dance the hula while the staff member was helping her with her plate to our table. My wife felt that this was an unfriendly laugh, and felt somewhat insulted. Hey, let's write about another fun experience I had today. We had purchased an excursion for today and nobody delivered the tickets to our room. I went down to Guest Relations to find out about the tickets. The first time, I was just told to go to the pier 15 min prior to the time for the excursion and the tour operator would have our names for his list, but no mention of how we were supposed to get to the pier, no mention of how soon we should board the tender, as I found out we were supposed to do. Remember, we had not received our tickets, so we had no instructions as to what to do. The next time I called the Guest Relations desk, I was told that I had to stand in the standby line to see about my tickets. Why should we be placed on standby when I had already paid for the excursion online weeks before the cruise? I was PO'ed and blew up at the staff member, then to everyone who witnessed the event, letting them know just how much of a “fun time” I was having on this cruise. Eventually, I found out when and where and what we we're supposed to do from another call to Guest Relations, but time was running short and we had to leave our cabin immediately in order to catch a tender and get to the pier on time for our excursion. It gets more fun. When we got to the pier, the staff member working on excursions, at first said that she had no record of us for the excursion, which I had expected to happen considering how everything had been going on this cruise. Eventually, the issue was resolved and I was offered a $20 refund for each ticket (3 of us). The $60 has been credited to my shipboard account. One amazing thing that happened when we returned from the excursion is this: The cruise director was on the same tender as we were when we returned from the excursion. I told her my whole sad story and she promised to speak to someone about it, but not to expect anything about the volume. I'm not, but at least she didn't laugh. If I can get an email address for her or anyone else on this ship or in upper management, they will be cc:'ed on this email as well as every KZbin channel I've been following dealing with cruising. And a new complaint is being added to the list. We went to the main dining facility for dinner last night. Now, I've complained to every staff member I've spoken to on this ship about my experiences on this cruise, so much so that know us by name, especially about my ongoing never-ending headache. So, where did the maitre'd sit us, but right next to the noisiest place in the facility, the bus station where the waiters, and the assistant waiters, and the busboys are banging and clanging the dishes as they scrape the food particles from the dirty dishes. So noisy that I had to go back to our cabin and get my noise-cancelling headphones. I wore them throughout dinner, both in order to reduce the noise for me, and as a form of protest about our sitting arrangements. I'm starting the -3Db Revolution, so called as an attempt to get the volume in the entertainment system reduced by 3Db. If we don't complain, our problems won't be resolved! Again, I will be emailing everyone who might be in the least bit interested in reading about my experiences. I will provide the cruise line name and ship name upon personal request. You can do whatever you want with that information. Just call me, The Grumpy Guy Bob Thompson PS. the most fun I've had on this cruise is folding paper airplanes and tossing them across the elevator shaft. Also, writing this email has been somewhat satisfying, but it doesn't make up for being laughed at when I complained. BT

Other nights, don't even THINK about wearing shorts. The Matre'd chased my husband all the way to our table one (casual) night when he was wearing a nice pair of golf shorts and a tropical shirt. Lesson learned ;)

I'm getting better with not overpacking. I make sure that I have enough underclothes and pajamas for the cruise too. I won't be doing laundry on a cruise.

I like to dress up for formal night. We don't dress up very often and I think it is fun when we go on vacation.

[@LifeWellCruised]

Nice!! I agree it’s fun for me too

[@donaldferguson2759]

I stoped dressing up for formal night along time ago was just to stressful trying to keep everything wrinkle free and looking nice I go on vacation to relax not to play dress up I do wear khaki pants and a polo shirt but that’s it

[@LifeWellCruised]

I can understand and think there are many who feel this way - thanks for sharing

[@SulanaSulana-n8k]

I enjoyed dressing up on those special evening. Unfortunately, I noticed that very few people are wearing evening gowns or just a nice outfit. I’ve seen people wearing shorts and flip flops.

[@normasalazar9037]

Thank you for mentioning the flat iron and curling iron.. Great Video!

[@ringsong3870]

I loved your video!! Thank you for all the advices 😊😊🎉 I’m watching you from South America 😁

We love to dress up on formal nights

[@LifeWellCruised]

Fun!! Definitely elegant 🥂

[@marthaworc7873]

There is an easy solution for formal dining nights. The MDR is huge. Why not have a section for jeans and a T-shirt and sandles and a section for dress up. This is not unprecedented. In restaurants on land there were smoking and nonsmoking sections. Of late there were restaurants on land there were sections for carrying guns and not carrying guns. Why not make everyone happy and have 2 sections for how people want to dress? Look it's an expensive vacation, why not let people wear what they want (no bathing suits, robes or pajamas of course) People don't do not wear such things in buildings on land. It's silly to think they would do such things *anywhere*. People are paying lots of money for cruises, it's a *vacation*, after all. I really am not stirring the pot. I am suggesting a reasonable solution.

I enjoy dressing one night and I also enjoy putting a dress on most nights for dinner while we are cruising

[@LifeWellCruised]

Sounds nice! I love this about cruising

[@julie1541]

[@markt.3454]

We do like to dress up a couple of evenings on our cruises.

[@LifeWellCruised]

That’s great! What cruise line do you usually sail with?

[@markt.3454]

@@LifeWellCruised - Norwegian is our cruise line of choice, but I like hearing about all of them. Our next cruise is not until January 2022 on NCL Encore, but after that - who knows? Maybe something new!

[@priscillabohn4621]

I love formal nights like a prom and I love eating in the dining room, however hubby likes casual also, so we eat at Guys or buffet for 2 nights

[@jesicaraymond6434]

Thank you so much for these videos!!! We are going on Discovery Princess in 2023 and my packing list is always changing lol.. these videos help so much.. Love the dress!!!

[@LifeWellCruised]

You have one of the very best ships Jessica!! I love doing these videos 😂

[@Tia7910]

How dressy do people get on this ship on formal nights? I’ll be going on a cruise in August on the discovery princess.

Love to dress up a few nights!🥂

[@LifeWellCruised]

Fun!! Personally I do a bit too, it makes me feel like things are a bit more special than everyday life 😂

[@pepelola8]

Returning to cruising after taking 10 years off. Can’t wait so excited leaving in 90 days. I am more of a casual dress person but if I have to include a formal gown, I will.

[@joycegreer9391]

Yes, very helpful info. What to wear has always been my top question.

[@LifeWellCruised]

So glad this was helpful Joyce :)
