FAQs

Cruising dress codes:

You should dress for a cruise the same way you would for any stylish land-based resort. Casual sportswear, including shorts, lightweight pants, and sundresses, will keep you feeling fresh and looking your best while at sea and ashore in hotter climates.

We recommend you bring a sweater, a jacket, or an all-weather coat for cool evenings, and for shore excursions, depending on your destination. Due to unpredictable weather, remember to bring a hat or visor and a collapsible umbrella. Please be sure to bring proper clothing for visits to religious sites. You'll also want low-heeled, rubber-soled shoes for strolling on deck, as well as comfortable walking shoes or sandals to wear when going ashore.

Smart Casual

Guest attire should be in keeping with what they would wear to a nice restaurant at home.

  • Skirts/dresses, slacks, blouses, and sweaters for women
  • Pants and collared or dress shirts for men

Pool or beach attire, shorts, ball caps or jeans with fraying and/or holes are not welcome in the dining room. Shoes must be worn.

Formal

When formal nights are held, please observe the dress code in the Traditional Dining and Anytime Dining venues for the enjoyment of all our guests.

  • Evening gown, cocktail dress or elegant pantsuit for women
  • Tuxedo, dark suit or dinner jacket, and slacks for men

What is “Crew Appreciation”?

A crew appreciation is a daily amount added to your onboard account, which is shared among the many members of the crew in hotel, dining, and entertainment throughout the fleet who help make your cruise experience special. The daily amount of the Crew Appreciation is based on the stateroom category. To simplify the tipping process, a discretionary crew incentive of $16.50 per guest for suites, $15.50 per guest for mini-suites, and $14.50 per guest (including children) in all other staterooms, per day, is automatically added to your shipboard account daily.
