Do you need a swimsuit for a cruise?

Make sure to bring at least two bathing suits, as it can take a while for them to dry out! While you are allowed to wander around in your bathing suit, clothes and shoes are required when entering the restaurants and casinos, so bring along at least a few bathing suit cover-ups, sundresses, or shorts and tee shirts.

For a seven-day cruise, two to three swimsuits should be sufficient. However, if you plan on spending a lot of time at the pool or beach, you may want to pack more. In addition, don't forget to pack sunscreen, hats, a hair dryer, and cover-ups to protect your skin from the sun.

The cruises are meant for people to share a room, even if they're not romantically involved. The bathroom is private but that's it. Beds can be split up so you each have your own sleeping space. It's likely you'll spend a lot of time doing things outside the room.

Casual attire is welcome on board – you are on vacation after all. While the days of dedicated “formal nights” in the main dining room have since sailed, one of the most pressing questions for first-time cruisers remains: “how formal is formal?” The answer: it's up to you!

The rule of thumb is that a week-long cruise will have two formal nights during the trip (i.e. Day 2 and Day 5). Shorter trips normally have one. It may be that if you are on a very short cruise (e.g. three days), there might not even be one formal night.
