Question

We're going on a Mexican cruise on 6-1-08

Answer 1

not so formal.

but dress them nicely[:

Answer 2

The girls normally wear a summer dress.. nothing too fancy.. the boys were in button down shirts and jeans or black pants..

Answer 3

i wouldnt dress them in onsies and shorts, but whatever they wear to church  might be a good idea.....alot of the ships are going more casual but there is plenty of oppourtunity to get family pics taken so dress up with what your comfortable with and have a good time

Answer 4

just dress them nicely

Answer 5

of course. but, being a toddler im sure they'll be leniant.

just make sure theres a nice shirt, and pants. nothing really expensive. maybe a jacket too.

and im sure that there are some dining places on the cruise that do not require formal dining so...theres always those.

Answer 6

No, but I think you will find that they have wonderful facilities for children so you can eat with the adults if you so wish.

Answer 7

Personally, I wouldn't take an infant to the dinners where the dress code is "formal".  The dinners take 1.5 to 2 hours, especially on formal night.   And it's a really nice time to enjoy adult company - or that of children who can tolerate a long meal. Get a babysitter or go to the buffet on those nights.  The non-formal nights, it probably wouldn't matter what an infant wears - they don't enforce the dress code for adults [on most mass-market lines; Celebrity and Holland are more "traditional"], so I doubt they'd say anything about a baby!  If you do eat in the dining room, you probably want to get an early seating, unless you'll have "freestyle" dining on your ship.

Have a great time!

Answer 8

Yes Blacktie!
