Going on a Disney cruise with Disney Cruise Line, a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company, is many people’s dream vacation. You can immerse yourself in the magic of Disney, enjoy world-class entertainment, and even choose the type of Disney cruise you prefer and how long you want to travel. No wonder thousands of people book vacations with Disney Cruise Line every year.
However, if you’re experiencing the wonderful world of Disney for the first time, it’s only natural not to know what to expect or even how to dress. We’ve provided some helpful cruise fashion tips below to help you maximize your onboard experience:
Know the Dress Code
Knowing the dress code before a Disney Cruise can help you plan your shopping budget and buy everything you need before setting off. The cruise line’s dress code can vary from one dining location to the next, but most are described as ‘cruise casual.’ This means you can wear casual garments like shorts and T-shirts but can’t wear tank tops and bathing suits. On dress-up nights, you may choose to wear more formal attire like pantsuits or dresses for women and suit jackets for men.
Prepare for Themed Nights
It doesn’t matter which Disney cruise ship you’re on, you’ll likely encounter at least one themed night. On these nights, you’re encouraged to dress up in the theme of a pirate for the ever-popular deck parties. As most people don’t typically own Disney pirate-themed garments, reading your cruise itinerary in advance to know what you’ll need to bring can be a good idea. That way, you can be thoroughly prepared for all the fun of a dress-up evening!
Bring Clothing for Shore Excursions
You might pack your suitcase with garments for lounging around and relaxing, but don’t forget to pack a few sets of clothing suitable for shore excursions. Depending on which cruise vacation you choose, you might enjoy port adventures on Castaway Cay, Disney’s very own private island in the Bahamas, or even Atlantis Bahamas, a Bahamas vacation resort on Atlantis Paradise Island.
Depending on the types of off-ship activities you choose for your port days, you might go snorkeling, swimming, kayaking, or even running in the 5K road race – and you’ll need clothing to suit. Just don’t forget to bring extra money for shore excursions, since oftentimes food and alcoholic drinks aren’t included in the package price.
Pack Comfortable Footwear
While a beautiful set of dress shoes can make you feel at your best for a formal evening, such shoes wouldn’t be practical for everyday wear aboard your cruise ship. Pack a range of footwear to suit all activities and occasions, such as sandals and flip-flops for pool visits, and slip-on or tie-up shoes for navigating the ship and partaking in activities.
Disney recommends wearing ‘lifestyle’ shoes for adults-only restaurants and sandals or sneakers for Port Adventures. However, boots or rubber-soled shoes are encouraged if your Disney Cruise takes you around Alaska and Canada.
Dressing for comfort and style on a Disney cruise doesn’t have to be complicated. Pay attention to your itinerary, read Disney Cruise Lines’ dress code, and set aside funds for shopping. You can then be fully prepared for your upcoming Disney adventure in no time.
