What to Wear?

According to the folks at Carnival, casual attire is the order of the day.  They suggest comfy shorts, tee shirts, sun dresses and the like for daytime, and what they call "cruise casual" wear for the evenings. 

On the Carnival web site they define cruise casual wear as:

• Ladies - Casual dresses, casual skirts or pants and blouses, summer dresses, Capri pants, dress shorts, jeans (no cut-offs)
• Gentlemen - Sport slacks, khakis, jeans (no cut-offs), dress shorts (long), collared sport shirts

There is also one "cruise elegant" night, which will be Sunday evening, July 3rd (the first full day at sea).  Carnival's guidelines for dining room dress on this evening are:

•  Ladies - Cocktail dresses, pantsuits, elegant skirts and blouses; if you‘d like to show off your evening gowns, that's great too! 
• Gentlemen - Dress slacks, dress shirts. We also suggest a sport coat. If you wish to wear suits and ties or tuxedos, by all means we invite you to do so

Carnival also recommends sweaters, lightweight jackets and raincoats for this cruise and suggests taking clothes that can be layered easily.
