New to cruising (UK)
We have booked our first cruise travelling from Southampton to the Baltic in
August, and we're not really sure what we've let ourselves in for. The wife is a bit nervous about dressing up for the formal/semi-formal/casual nights and hasn't a clue what to wear. Is there somewhere which gives good advice on this sort of thing and on what we can expect? The day of our sailing will also be our first wedding anniversary, so I would want to do something a bit special as well. Thanks, Graham |

No need to be nervous about what to wear, but it will depend on which ship, some are more formal than others. P & O. Is there somewhere which gives good advice on this sort of thing and on what we can expect? The day of our sailing will also be our first wedding anniversary, so I would want to do something a bit special as well. There are 2 good UK based cruising forums from where you will get tons of info. http://www.ship-happens.co.uk/ go to the green board and http://www.holidaytruths.co.uk/viewforum.php?f=35 There will be various things you can do for your anniversary, some ships will provide a cake too without asking; but need to know which one you are on first -- Pam Thanks for that.

Graham, this newsgroup is primarily concerned with small (20-60') sailing or
power boats going offshore for extended periods of time, not steamship-line vacationing. Our "cruising", usually done in old sweats and foulies, often standing alone in windblown rain and wave scud, with sometimes little or no sleep, scrambling to make a cup-o-noodles for dinner between possible broaching, with periods of wrench-in-hand fighting a breakdown that may put us on the rocks, is about as unlike what you're asking as to be quite humorous to some of the posters here. Hope you find what you're looking for, and that you have a lovely "Cruise" Brad |
