IMO, it is sexist of them to not at least include dress pants in the list.  Women have been wearing those for decades.

Totally agree.

Black jeans and a Hawaiian shirt. Each and every night on each and every cruise.

We are leaving in April for a 25 day TA/Baltic followed by a 7 day river cruise. A total of 43 days on travel. We are each traveling with a backpack and carry on suitcase, so we don't have to check bags on airlines. 

 

What to wear on formal nights is the least of our concerns.

And they look very well indeed with a fancy top & a scarf.

..., while women may want to bring an evening dress or a skirt with a good blouse.

Thx. So dark blue jeans w/o contrasting stitching + chiffon top 👌 

 

I don't own black jeans because they fade too fast and I have no intention of hauling more than 1 suitcase around Europe

Finally! A kindred spirit! We haven't checked a bag in several years. DH & I each take one carryon & one personal item, even on a 28 day cruise. Travel is so much easier without checked bags, lost bags, baggage fees, etc. 😊

My DW has always said women can wear pretty much whatever they want within reason and no one is going to say anything. 😂
