I’m not going to a cruise, but I wanted to chime in, because I’ve been on 3 cruises.

There will be LOTS of fat people. You will wonder how they fit in those tiny showers. They don’t. Don’t waste money on the soda card. It’s fountain soda, and not the real soda.

Now that I got that out the way, make sure y’all bring enough clothes. You need multiple outfits per day.

If you workout, you need gym clothes. Then you need a daytime, activity outfit. When you get back to the ship, you’re going to be sweaty, and need to shower before dinner, and you need another outfit to chill in. Then, depending on your dinner choice, you need a formal fit for the dining room, or if you choose casual dining, you can just wear what you wear after the post excursion shower. If you go to a show, or a lounge, or casino, you may want to have nice slacks, and a button down. You need swimwear. You need a nice straw fedora. You need nice aviator sunglasses. You need at least one cream short sleeve button down, and a pair of cream shorts, probably linen. Bring 2 wife beaters per day, although you’ll probably get away with going bare chest under button downs depending on your fitness level.

Dayum, good thread.
I was gonna bring 3 fits total and a nice fit for the dinner but I see I may need more.

First time doing Carnival, leaving out of Miami.

What should I expect?

Royal Caribbean in October.

3 outfits per day minimum

I just explained it. You go on shore excursions during the day. It’s hot. You don’t want to go to dinner with your dry sweat. You have to shower when you get back. Plus there are water activities depending on what they will do when they dock. So you need multiple outfits per day. It would be like going to dinner at a nice restaurant in your grocery store errands outfit after you sweated on a carribean island, or chilled at the beach all day.

There is usually a long gap of time between when you have to be back on the ship, and when you go to dinner. So you have a day outfit, evening outfit, and night outfit, plus your swimwear, and casual clothes for chilling around the ship.

Linen short sets, wrap around skirts, nice dress for formal dinner. Dry fit shirts and jean/khaki shorts, safari cowboy hat, comfortable walking sandals, swim shoes for the rocky beaches

Fill up Stanley cup with ice while on the ship, I almost had a heat stroke, seriously started seeing stars and felt like fainting

If you buy liquor at the liquor store ahead of time, they make you pay a $15 corking fee per bottle. Don’t try to smuggle it in other bottles. Some guys had a pack of water. The crew opened the pack, and shook every single bottle to make sure it wasn’t clear liquor.

If you want a free ride back to the airport, the car rental places are parked outside when you get back. They will give you a free ride to the car rental place at the airport. Once they drop you off, just walk across the walkway to the airport, or get a shuttle to the terminal. I don’t know if this still works. It’s been at least a decade.

Heading out in July :blessed:

Lol for the day, shorts and tees, swimwear. Evening, depends on what you do for dinner. Some folks rock the whole semi formal for the dinner.... I'll probably just do a casual pant and a polo :ehh:
