My husband and I were at sandals in nassau

at the end of January. In the evenings, the

Dress varied greatly. Most women had sundress

type dresses or casual-type maxi dresses.

My husband wore a tommy bahama shirt and

chinos/dockers each night. As he said he

could have just worn his jeans. The only men that

We saw in suits or jackets were connected

with wedding parties. In all honesty I was

surprised that people were not (IMO) a little

better dressed. This was a last minute trip.

Much of my summer clothing is at our vacation

home in Florida so I did not have it with me.

I was expecting people to have matching

swimsuits and cover- ups so I almost went

out and bought new expensive things. I didn't

have the time and just took a couple of older bathing suits

and a so-so cover up.....I blended in perfectly

fine.

Hope this helps!

yes, it does - thanks! I am actually packing now (we leave Saturday), and it is kind of nice not bringing my formal dresses I wear on cruises. We are actually doing a sunset catamaran excursion (something I can't do on a cruise:p) , so packing for my evening wear is becoming much less stressful.

Heading out for my pedi tonight in yet another snowstorm, but I don't care - I am going to have hubby drop my off and pick me up at the front door of the salon!

I would dress the way you want. We cruise as well as take many land vacations. Sometimes for us, if we've been out exploring all day and dinner time rolls around, it's a casual place, but many times I get 'dressed'. I like to and my husband likes me to. He still will just wear a nice Tommy Bahamas shirt or something like that with a nice pair of shorts and we do fine. No, I don't do a 'long dress formal' like for formal night, but I do many times wear strappy heels with a 'dressy' dress and jewelry. But your husband can certainly get away without a suit! Unless otherwise stated most resorts are fine with informal wear/resort wear. Be comfortable and enjoy dressing how you want for your vacation, I think you'll see all varieties. Enjoy! :)

Thanks - I think I will look around for an extra sundress, or two;).

I will let my husband know about the shorts - that will make him even happier! I see you are from Boston -I am in southern New Hampshire, but get into the city about once a month. There is a Tommy Bahama Outlet store at the Wrentham outlets now.

Hi, I have done Caribbean cruises for the last few years, but I have never stayed at a resort for a week other than Disney with the kids. We will be doing a Caribbean Sandals vacay at the end of the month - and I was wondering if the clothing options would be the same? My husband is already psyched to not bring a suit, but that means no formal dresses for me. My cruise wardrobe consists of bathing suits and cover-ups by day along with sundresses, but I do like to look nice at night. I guess I am worried that I will be overdressed because I will be in the warm air more than on the air-conditioned ship.

Am I over thinking this?

I saw on Sportscenter this morning that Michael Phelps eats 12,000 calories a day! :eek:

Madelinerose - I love the Inner Harbor and Camden Yards! My husband's favorite thing to do after watching baseball is take a water taxi, and of course, eat crab cakes!
