We are flying as well but at least will be on SW so we all can have 2 checked bags. I keep telling myself we can pack everything because of this! Hopefully my new packing cubes will help!
Stop tempting me with "the cubes".
Alright - it is time to talk about one of my favorite things....clothing for the cruise!
1. Pirate night: Who is dressing up? Normally we go all out but this year I am thinking about something more casual pirate. Then I think that I will regret it!Share your plans for pirate night dress...are you going all out or have you decided to do casual pirate or do you skip dressing up all together?
2. Semi-Formal Night: I have said many times before how sad I am that there is no formal night. I think we will be going semi-formal but leaning towards formal. I want to look for floor length gowns for me and Emily but not big formal ones...again, long with a casual feel to them. I want DS and DH to be in nice clothes with a tie at least. Who has picked out their semi-formal outfits and what are you wearing?
3. Swim Cover-Up: Alright, after a couple of cruises I have finally learned that a swim cover-up is going to be a key piece of clothing. I am looking around but don't see a whole lot. I know I want something other then just a skirt wrap around thing. What do you do about hanging out in your swimwear? If you have a cover up, what does it look like and where did you find it?
Can't wait to hear what everyone is thinking!
Haha. yes it will. And that's what matters, right? I like clothes based on comfort, so I can really just get by with jeans and tshirts, and a sun dress and my favorite bathing suit. That is all
My dh would say that we were twins separated at birth!
Seriously...I have the worse problems with packing! I would love to say I just was going to throw in a few comfortable and casual things to wear but I just can't! If you want to know what I will be doing for the next 48 days, it will be packing and rethinking my outfits and trying to fit more in. I think I need an intervention!

I think DH wants to go casual pirate (leaving the pirate hair/wig at home). I would like to go all out with pirate costumes but know that means we would need to buy new ones as the kids have grown. We will have to see.
DS and DH both will miss the whole tux thing - they looked GREAT on our last cruise.
Guess I might need to re-word the swim wear question for all the boys who might read into it...
My brother is in VB and he said it is HOT and raining every afternoon/early evening.
Aww, did you eat at Olivia's? I like it there!!
Gotta go with Lands End...just ordered two new coverups. I live in my coverups on the cruises. They can take you from a sit down breakfast to the Art of Entertaining series or inside events and not feel sloppy or too casual. Lands End has been having some fantastic sales, 25% off everything plus free shipping. I'm sure they'll be another sale soon, it seems they've been weekly lately.Alright - it is time to talk about one of my favorite things....clothing for the cruise!

We're doing a dressed down pirate-matching t-shirts and shorts with accessories (wigs, hats, jewelry, scarves). We've done it both ways-full pirate costumes and the matching shirts route. I love all of our pictures. Hot Topic has POTC shirts on clearance 50% off plus buy one get one 50% so they're really cheap! Here we are from our 2009 cruise going the casual route but still looking festive URL=http://s158.photobucket.com/albums/t94/gfolchick/?action=view¤t=img290.jpg][/URL]

We're going semi-formal, nice dresses and the guys in slacks and button downs with ties.
