Caribbean Cruises:

The weather in the Caribbean at this time of year is perfect: 80's during the day, high 60's to 70's at night.

Your anticipated activities will also dictate what you'll need. For example, plan to take a morning jog onboard? Remember your running shoes.

Most cruises have a formal night extremely formal dress is not required. Ladies can wear an evening dress or gown. Men can wear a sports jacket, suit or tuxedo.

Tuxedo rentals are often available onboard best to check with your cruise line directly if you decide to dress formal.

Many cruises have theme parties such as 70's Disco Dance Party and Caribbean Reggae Night.

For 70's Disco: Think John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever. If it flares out, glitters, shimmies, or is just plain old gaudy, it'll do.

For the Caribbean Party: Since we'll be in the Caribbean, it shouldn't be much of a stretch, but straw hats and grass skirts are always fun. And using natural materials like coconuts and palm leaves as cover-ups are encouraged but optional.

No matter what you bring (or forget), you won't be stranded. There is plenty of shopping available onboard the ship and on the islands.
