Hi Mirg

What date are you going in Sept. We go on the Destiny on the 28th Aug and would love to chat to some one on the same cruise. Can't wait

Hey Chris

I'll be on the Destiny 4 wks today, yipee ! ! ! ! ! I'm more a trousers sort of person rather than skirts but will splash out for something dressey for the Captain's Cocktail Party ! My query is how dressey were the ladies ? Was it mid length, full length dresses/skirts ?? You may not have paid too much attention but perhaps you could ask Mrs D ?? I'm getting really excited now and through the forum have got in touch with a very nice couple & their family that will be on the same cruise, so hopefully we'll get to meet up !

Your comments would be much appreciated :-)

Hi LMG,

It would be quite acceptable for you to wear smart trousers with sparkley top, a full evening gown, cocktail dress, skirt and top infact almost anything that you would normally wear going out for dinner.

The problem is not the lovely ladies, it's us scruff bags, your men, England football shirt maybe ok for buying beer but for dinning out maybe we should make the effort and at least shave. LOL

Have a great cruise.

Cruising is like being in 'The Garden of Eating'

Hi Tenpin

Thank you so much for your reply. You've put my mind at ease - here was me thinking I'd have to go out and buy a ball gown/cocktail dress that I would only have on me the once ! ! Its good to know that I won't feel out out place in my smart trousers and dressey tops !

Thanks again :-)

Hello LMG,

I can't add much to tenpins reply, Mrs D wore a cocktail dress but there was a good mix of styles including many ladies in trousers and dressy tops. It is a great night and good fun, i guarantee you will enjoy it!
Have a great time!

Hi Chris

Thanks for the reply. Sounds like it will be a great experience, I can't wait. Even happier now that I have a choice to wear trousers if I don't see anything else I like !

Cheers LMG

Hi.
Im 18 and going on the Destiny on the 14th of august with my parents, as its their 25th anniversary i could'nt really say no. I was just wondering what is there to do on board after hours really, nightclub? bars? any good? and is there others my age on board, as i have only ever known a cruises to be filled with people 40+ ?

Thanks
Chantelle

Hi Chantelle welcome aboard the forum . yes its true most folk in my opinion are aged 40-60 on the cruises ive been on.but the other age groups are represented too, over 60's and under 40's ,under 30's and of course teenagers.do not worry there will be lots of teenagers on board and within the first 24 hours you will have formed a group and probably never see your parents all week, which i reckon could be a good plan on their part. and yes get dressed up for the captains cocktail party ,its all great experience for you , cruising is not like any other holiday ,its better . have a great time
kind regards quizzer
