Congrats on your first cruise! I'm sure you will love cruising...we sure do!

If you're going on a 7 day cruise you will have 2 formal nights. One suit will be fine for your husband. That's what my husband takes to save space in the suitcase. He just takes 2 different ties and we usually just send the shirt out to be cleaned after the 1st formal so it's ready for the second formal. Or you could just pack 2 different shirts.

For the regular dining nights casual is fine. Guys usually wear dockers and a nice button up shirt or a nice polo shirt. For the women a skirt and top, a summer dress or some nice capris and a top will be just fine. Just no jeans or shorts in the dining room. The only night you might see jeans in the dining room will be on the first night in case some haven't received their luggage in their rooms yet.

You should receive your cruise documents a couple weeks before you sail. We have received ours as early as 3 weeks and as late as 1 week before. I did have to call when we hadn't received them with 1 week to go and was assured they'd been sent out express mail. If it's getting close just give your agent a call.

Enjoy your cruise!
