Arvia Celebration Night last night most people were dressed splendidly and in particular the younger folk had made a real effort with their children dressed in beautiful party dresses and suits. Most pleasing. We had a colourful group in saris but the standout moment for me were the two Japanese couples in full national dress with the ladies in astonishingly beautiful kimonos with hair pins around a foot long holding their hair up. Fabulous to hear most adhering to dress codes and enjoying the cruising experience. I bet the Japanese couples looked wonderful… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Anarchy Posted May 18, 2023 #27 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Years ago we did an RCI cruise out of Hong Kong at Chinese New Year. On the formal nights the Chinese passengers wore national dress. Lovely cheongsams for the ladies and the chaps wore brightly coloured tang suit jackets. The tang suit jackets made us fellas in our monochrome penguin suits look very drab! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samangel Posted June 23 #28 Share Posted June 23 How exciting to embark on your first cruise! Black trainers can totally work for smart casual on board, especially if they're clean and in good condition. I remember when I packed my trusty Nike shoes for a cruise; they were perfect for exploring the ship and lounging in comfort. If you're unsure, a quick shoe shopping trip in Southampton could be fun—maybe find a versatile pair that suits both day and evening wear. Boat decks can be slippery, so shoes with good grip are a must! Most importantly, enjoy your cruise and all the new experiences ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget to pack some comfortable clothes for those relaxing days at sea and perhaps a couple of dressier options for formal nights. Also, consider bringing a light jacket or sweater, as evenings on the deck can get a bit chilly. Most importantly, enjoy your cruise and all the new experiences ahead.

john watson Posted July 2 #31 Share Posted July 2 In the day whilst on board it is a good idea to wear Deck Shoes and in the evening Dress Shoes. Ladies will be different and take a greater number of shoes to match different outfits. Regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davecttr Posted July 3 #35 Share Posted July 3 For a 16 night cruise on Arcadia I will take 2 pairs of 'trainers' and a pair of waterproof walking shoes. For trainers read casual shoes. No formal nights for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fail to see the point of taking a wide variety of shoes/bags either. I tend to stick to black shoes and daytime sandals. I also take a gold and a silver pair of evening sandals to match my jewellery at the time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
