This next winter our large family is heading to Nassau, Grand Turks and Caicos, and San Juan on the Caribbean Princess. One of our family members is handicapped and in a wheelchair. We really want to enjoy the islands, but there does not seem to be many excursions available for folks in wheelchairs. We would love some suggestions from experiences some of you may have had. Thank you for your help.

Cheers! Thank you!

Also if you have the beverage package, do you have to pay for room service juice?

Is there much freezer room in the fridge for frozen Dailies?

If you bring gin or vodka, where on the ship can you juices to make mixed drinks? Thank you.

I want to experience the glamour to the fullest too!! Dress to the nine's-thus find the biggest garment bag I can find!

I agree this is feeling very intimidating. It sounds like even if my husband and I took lessons we will still not be up to par. We were hoping for all of the romance that dressing up every night, eating fancy food and dancing to a big band in formal wear has to offer. I have two left feet and certainly don’t want to put my clumsiness on display for all to see by dancing around the perimeter. Thus the idea of hiding in the middle. I didn’t realize that we would be messing up the flow for other dancers.My husband doesn’t mind my clumsiness thankfully. My husband is a P.A. In the ER and does not work a set schedule. This makes it challenging to sign up the for dance classes. We guess tutorials are not suitable either according to the majority of comments. Maybe this isn’t the cruise line for us. Any suggestions for other cruise ships that offer the romantic activities, but are less critical about dancing?

Is there a good particular garment bag that holds a lot that you would recommend?

This our first time sailing with Cunard and we are excited about all of the dressing up we will get to do. The problem is, how on earth do we fit EVERYTHING we need for a 21 day cruise into suitcases and get it to the ship? Formal wear takes up a ton of room and wrinkles easily. We have sailed with Princess before and had just enough room for a couple of dress up nights and our casual clothes. With Cunard’s after 6 pm attire requirements, we will need to bring more fancy clothes than usual. Thus the wrinkle and suitcase problem. How do seasoned Cunard passengers manage it? I have looked into using a garment bag for my husband's and my formal wear, but most are not durable enough to withstand the rough treatment the airlines put luggage through. We will be flying from the US to Barcelona, staying for a couple of days, sailing for 21 days and then travelling Italy for a week afrerward. In addition, a couple of the gowns are slightly "fluffy" and fill up the suitcases quite easily, not leaving a ton of storage for the rest of our garments. I am planning on bringing 4 formal gowns for the various gala nights along with elegant outfits for the "smart attire" evenings. My husband plans to bring a tux, 2-3 suits and 2 sport coats. That doesnt include our day wear! Ugh, I envision ourselves bringing 3 suitcases each, which obviously we don't want to do. We have used laundry service in the past, which we plan to do again for our day clothes, but I’m not sure how that would work with gowns and suits. Any good advice is appreciated!,,

OOOOh great question! I am very interested in the replies to it.

So, on gala nights, my husband and I LOVE the idea of getting all dressed up, having an elegant dinner and then attending the ball. The problem is neither one of us know how to do ANY ballroom dancing. How silly and out of place will we look if we go out onto the dance floor and do our best at mimicking what the other dancers are doing? We want to enjoy the romance of the evenings, but certainly don’t want to appear as shmucks. Already booked in Queens Grill so this cruise IS happening.

I’ve read a few posts that suggest long sleeves for women in the evenings. We will be sailing the Med in the months of June and July. Are sleeves necessary due to the air-conditioning?

These are all helpful posts. Thank you.

Thank you! That’s what I needed to know.

I am curious about what smart attire really means for non-gala nights. Insight is very much appreciated. Does smart attire mean a cocktail dress, office dress, sundress, or all 3? Thank you.
