First time DCL Questions: food, shoes and ports

[jelliott04]

Hi all. First time DCL in less than two weeks! I have a few questions:

Cruising Eastern Caribbean in less than two weeks!

1) Do the menus change each week? IE, can I go to allears and see what we'll be having for dinner the Tuesday (for example) of our cruise?

2) What shoes are appropriate for kids? Can they hang out in crocs all the time or are tennis shoes more appropriate? (talking kids clubs etc)

4) How many formal nights are there? Is a nice dress ok instead of an actual formal gown?

3) Pros and Cons to parking at the port or at an off site place.

Thanks in advance!
