This question is for some of the other lady cruisers. I am a first time cruiser and need help with what to wear on my cruise. Conquest 9/28

Rule of Thumb.....keep it simple and comfortable!
Depending on the size of ship, you could stand in line for food or to get into a show.
For dress up night, make sure it's something you want/like yourself photographed in.
Some people do not pack very many shirts and buy them along the way. I always pack an extra duffle bag in my suitcase to have in case I buy more stuff than will fit back in my suitcase and because dirty clothes always take up more room than clean clothes!

Hope you have a great time!

just returned from eastern caribbean on Paradise. yes, keep it simple!
daytime.....khaki shorts and blouse or nice t-shirts will be fine for ship and shore excursions. don't forget exercise clothes if you're interested in gym or aerobics classes.
evenings.....i wore light sweater / sweater set and slacks and little black dress for formal nights (although there were a number of formal gowns.)
also, there were laundromats (on every other floor) on the ship so you can wash mid-week. ($2 wash, $1.50 dry and $.75 for detergent...fortunately, i brought dryer sheets as they weren't available on the ship.)
they also have irons and ironing boards in the laundromat for your use.

Thank you both for your help. I didn't want to pack to much , but I didn't want to pack not enough either.

For past cruises, I always wear sun dresses to dinner. They pack well and usually look fairly good in the dining rooms. It isn't a bad idea to pack one very light sweater as sometimes the dining rooms are a bit chilly. Take stuff that you can interchange - shorts and shirts that can be worn with several items. I found myself in my bathing suit and cover up for most of the day. I also suggest a backpack or beach bag that you can take with you on shore.

Good luck and have fun!
