HermmyGranger Posted July 8, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I am set to cruise a 7-day Rotterdam out of Amsterdam in September to Norway. I have two questions. 1. Do people on European cruises dress up more than cruises in Alaska (my only cruising experience). 2. Can you get iced tea? This may sound like an odd question, but I spent six weeks in London with nary an iced tea to be found. It's really my primary beverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakridger Posted July 8, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 8, 2023 You get iced tea in the Lido buffet or any food place for no extra charge. ~Nancy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it depends on the make up of the passengers, generally speaking people on European cruises dress nicely and more than North America / Caribbean sailings. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiserBruce Posted July 8, 2023 #5 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Agree, yes and yes, but that doesn't need to affect how you dress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on the same cruise in May, and the dress was pretty similar to what I saw on our Alaska HAL cruise; pretty casual, maybe slightly better at dinner. You don't really have to worry about it, whatever you wear is fine. On the dressy night I was one of the few wearing a jacket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More of a sport coat dress up on board. Debating have husband bring suit and sport coat or just sport coat. Decisions decisions……..

A sport coat is definitely more than enough; most were not that dressed up, just wearing nice shirts. But if he feels like a suit, that's also fine! He won't be out of place either way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nang Posted July 11, 2023 #9 Share Posted July 11, 2023 If it is a round trip out of Amsterdam the passengers will largely be Dutch. Based on our experience last August the MDR will be VERY popular and the dress will be very much smart casual. Very few suits, ties. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
