I went on a cruise recently and I was well served with: A lot of linen, light colored cotton/linen pants, board shorts, and shoes to match all of the prior.
One more thing: If your cruise has a formal night bring a dark suit. There were far too many idiots at the formal dinner on my cruise wearing polos and khakis. I wanted to choke them all with my tie. I'm aware that I take my clothing far more seriously than the average guy, and I know formal night on a cruise isn't exactly fine dining. However, I enjoy the chance to dress well for a nice dinner with my wife, and it really irks me when people completely disregard the dress code for the nicer dinner(s) on the cruise. (Rant over

Be prepared for the worst food of your life.
Clothes, hawaiian shirts were on almost everyone except for the D & G crowd w/ their overweight, tight as clothes, hi heel wearing hos.
Bringing nice stuff is a waste of time... everyone is dressed so beyond **** its stunning.

I wish dress codes were enforced, they get sent to bed with no dinner!

I know this might come as no surprise, but please explain.Originally Posted by acidicboy
People actually rave about food on cruises and as soon as I hear someone say that I know that they probably consider Olive Garden or Applebee's as going out for a nice meal (which is probably75% or more of Americans). The food sucks. There is a lot of it, but it has no taste. It is very bland.
It is progressively better, the nicer the cruise line and on certain nights. If you are accustomed to eating out in any big city you are going to think the food is horrible. I would say slightly above coach airline food, but not much.

I can imagine it. But am I wrong for actually getting excited about coach airline food? Love the stuff.

I've had good and bad. On a recent trip to Europe going there it was horrible, but coming back it was decent. This thread has digressed, but has anyone else noticed that the food you get when leaving the US if worse than the food coming back? I've generally noticed this trend on my last couple of trips to Europe.
