Dress Codes on Cruises
Lot’s of folks who cruise from Texas on a Texas Cruise we are famous for here at Texas Cruise Company often worry about what to wear. Well, at least some of the ladies worry about what to wear. I never worried about it too much. For 
some folks in Texas, a clean starched pair of Wranglers and a dress shirt and possibly a nice dress jacket is about as dressed up as we get. And you know what, that is fine for formal nights these days.
Others will want to bring a suit and tie and that is also good. A few years ago we went on a 14 day cruise and Ramona bought me a Tuxedo to wear on formal nights. Yes, it felt a little silly for this Texan, but there were others on the cruise who wore a Tux and I really didn’t look out of place, even if I did feel out of place.
The ladies always look nice on formal nights in a dressy cocktail dress. Some dress more formally than that, but ladies just seem to intuitively know what to wear and look appropriate.
If there is any advice I can give on dress codes on a cruise, it is just don’t show up in the formal dining room for the evening meal in a swimsuit or shorts. It is frowned on and just doesn’t look too cool. A sports jacket for the men and a nice dress for the ladies is almost always the way to go. Keep in mind that one purpose of having a formal night is to let the ladies dress up a little and to take some really good photographs of you and your significant other in a formal setting. They have photographers set up on formal nights just for that purpose and they always do a really good job with the photos.
Also, you can look over to your right and read my posting in the “Important Details” category and get a complete rundown on Cruise Dress Code and what to wear while on your cruise.
Bottom line: Go out and enjoy your Texas Cruise on Royal Caribbean’s Voyager of the Seas or the Carnival Conquest or Carnival Ecstasy. Both cruise lines have a cruise from Galveston that you will enjoy. Don’t let a fear of dress codes scare you off, times have changed in the past few years and it’s more informal than formal.
