You get 1 formal night on cruises less than 5 days, 2 for 7-12 (I think) and 3 for longer. I had a jacket, shirt and some nice pants and that was more than ok. If you can get him to wear something like a polo and dark jeans it will probably be fine.More questions lol, I have seen things about formal events is this like every night or just once per cruise or what, we are not "formal" type of people lol i cant even get my son to wear jeans his wardrobe consists of baskeball shorts or joghing pants with a tshirt lol so what are the rules of formal lol..and ive heard things about drinks, like tea water and juice is available for free but sodas cost correct?? Ive also heard u cant bring sodas on RC??
I'd still go for the balcony, as close to center as you can get it. If given a choice I prefer back to the front, but that's just personal taste.More questions lol...we havent booked yet I am going to either next week or the week after, I am thinking about a Balcony room but everyone says to try and get mid ship but that isnt available for balcony, should I go to ocean view or interior or just get balcony on front or back
You can bring aerosol sprays. They're definitely convenient but I find that you don't get as much bang for your buck.Ok this may sound strange...can u carry aresol sunscreen with u? The spray kind is so much easier than lotion lol...also passports ive been told we dont need them but then i also see a lot of people talking about them??
Ok we dont have passports thats why i was asking lol from what ive seen it will be like almost 200 each to get themYou can bring aerosol sprays. They're definitely convenient but I find that you don't get as much bang for your buck.
Personally I use a non-aerosol spray sunscreen called Kinesys. Goes on wet but absorbs quickly. Not reef safe but less messy than cream-based sunscreens. Small bottle so carry-on friendly but lasts quite a while. Main drawback is that because it is a liquid sunscreen, the contents can leak out when you're in the air, so I always stick mine in a zip-top bag to help minimize leakage onto clothes.
Passports... since I'm Canadian I always carry mine onto cruises but then leave them in the stateroom safe. I know for "closed loop" trips (start and end in the US) you could, in theory, not bring the passport but I don't think it's that's much of a hassle to carry yours, "just in case".
I think it's up to you whether you want to get them or not. If you're planning on doing more out of country travel then it's clearly a good idea to get the passports (or a passport card if you're just gonna cruise out of the US). But if this is simply a "test run" it might be best to hold off on getting them. They do cost a lot but in Canada the adult passports are valid for 10 years. I believe it's similar in the US so looking at it that way it's $20/year - not a terrible investment.Ok we dont have passports thats why i was asking lol from what ive seen it will be like almost 200 each to get them

I actually have talked to one they gave me a price which didnt have any extras or anything and then I had some questions and never heard from them again lolHave you considered using a travel agent? They offer all the same deals you can see online plus extra perks like free gratuities, specialty dining, and on board credits. They can also help you choose a good cabin (often many more available to choose from than you can see on the website) and answer other questions you may have.
I did it!!! I BOOKED TODAY!!!! So excited and still a little nervous, we are on deck 9, got gratuitues paid for 2 guest and a 50 onboard credit
From what I've seen it's whatever bags you want to carry on with you. I've seen full suitcases but usually it's backpacks and rolling carry-on bags.Now that we have booked i have more questions, are the carry on requirements the same size as airports?
You could get away with a carry-on full of luggage for each person on a 4-night. We've done it for a 4-day trip, which included going to a wedding. You just have to be smart with the packing.Will we need more than a carry on for 4 nights?
