What I Wore - On a Caribbean Cruise

One of the most stress inducing parts of going on a cruise was the packing list.  Why?  Well, on a regular vacation, I feel like there are stores, options, ways to buy something I forget.  On a cruise ship?  Probably not so much.

So, I did a ton of research.  Lot's of google searches.  Lots of YouTube videos.  Lots of Pinterest-ing packing lists.  I wanted to make sure that I didn't get on the boat and realize that I was missing something I really needed.

The best laid plans...  While there are some stores on the ship, it's definitely not easy to find everything you need.  Example, I somehow forgot pool flip flops.  I had sneakers and lots of dressy sandals.  I wanted a cheap plastic kind of pair.  None to be found.  Ooops.

Luckily, I did much better with dinner/evening outfits.  I was pretty happy with the variety I managed and felt like I fit in pretty well.  I had all the pieces I needed: clothing, accessories, jewelry.

So, in order to help others who might be in the same boat (punny?), below are pics of what I wore for dinners on our cruise.  Most of the pieces were from Stitch Fix; I'd asked for my last couple of fixes to be for this trip.  All of the pieces were things that I knew wouldn't wrinkle much: jersey, stretch materials, jeans.  This was key because our ship had no public laundry room w/ irons.

Night 1 - Pretty casual with a pair of stretch trousers and a printed henley shirt.

Both pieces from Stitch Fix.

Night 2 - First full day at sea, printed shirts and white jeans.

Shirt from Marshall's and jeans from Stitch Fix.

Night 3 - Cozumel port day, stretch trousers and a button down shirt.

Night 4 - Thanksgiving, Formal Night, print dress and shawl.

Night 5 - Key West port day, same pants from Night 1 and a print shirt.
