Most cruise lines offer a casual atmosphere onboard. Casual attire is the norm during the day, and there is no formal dress code at night. However, many passengers choose to change into something slightly less casual for dinner.
At least once per sailing, during which passengers are encouraged to dress up. While you rarely see tuxedos or evening gowns, suits and cocktail dresses are quite common.
Additionally, ships usually host several themed nights, such as White Parties, ’70s, or ’80s Night, Hawaiian or even Mexican during each sailing. It’s a good idea to bring along a few themed items.
NB: Closer to your sail date you will be able to see what the exact theme nights are being held via your cruise companies app.

The conference topics were very relevant and interesting. The presenter, Sue who was running the sessions was awesome. She was professional and interesting to listen too involving the audience. It was great to mix pleasure with learning and not to feel the pressure of attending a conference.
Sue was very confident, knowledgable, approachable and engaging. It was empowering to be able to glean relevant information to go on and feel confident in assisting mental health sufferers.
