Plenty of people came to dinner dressed in cruise casual. On most cruises of seven nights or longer, there is the opportunity for guests to participate in a family friendly talent show. If you’d like to take part in this, be sure to bring any special costumes or shoes that you might need. Swimsuits are less of an imperative on Alaska sailings than they might be on other itineraries. On my Alaskan DCL cruise, there were many children in the pools on our embarkation day in Vancouver.
It’s Showtime

Decorating your Disney Cruise stateroom door with Disney magnets is a long-time tradition on Disney Cruises. Many guests get personalized magnets with the cruise date and names of the guests in the room. You will see everything from Star Wars, and Marvel Comics to an array of Disney Movies themed doors.
Nautical Outfit
And spends a serious amount of time sailing the seven seas. She helps over 200,000 people per month follow their Disney travel dreams. Whatever you choose to wear on Pirate Night is very much up to you. You will not feel out of place if you are wearing jeans and a t-shirt or full pirate regalia. European and Alaskan Disney cruises also have a themed deck party on one night. You will see a huge diversity of outfits in the restaurant.

Disney Cruise Formal Night observations
Obviously, packing for Alaska will be a little different depending on temperature. Have your picture taken with Captain Mickey in his bow tie as we did. Honestly, this is one of my favorite pictures from the entire cruise. To me, it just embodies everything about a holiday cruise with all my favorite characters.
It’s comfortable with a stretchy waist and runs true to size (I’m in a Large). Just a note that out on the deck when the ship is moving it is VERY WINDY. So if you have a full skirt or dress it’s quite likely you will end up showing off more than you wanted. 😉 I’d suggest longer dresses, or just save the shorter ones for when you’re off the ship. There are lots of photo opportunities in the evenings, especially on dress-up or formal nights, so that could be a great excuse for some more formal family photos.
You will find a huge range of different outfits on all Disney Cruises during dinner. The dress code on a Disney Cruise is very laid back and diverse. Here’s a cute Disney Cruise outfit to celebrate Anna from Frozen! It’s perfect for the new Frozen dinner theater on the Disney Wish. She is wearing a white sleeveless button down dress and brown sandals. She is wearing a light blue flowy dress, rose gold Minnie Mouse ears, and white ankle boots.

This is one of my favorite dresses for Minnie Mouse and of course, it is always great to see Mickey in his tux. This doesn’t mean that you can’t dress up for dinner every night if you really want to. There is a lot of confusion amongst first time Disney cruisers about whether or not there is a Formal Night on their sailing. Another cute option is this Big Girls Embroidered-Collar Striped Dress by Monteau. The cotton-blend dress would not wrinkl in a suitcase and the bold stripes, embroidered collar and flutter sleeves would look great in family photos.

For many guests, the primary motivator for formal dress seems to be getting family photos. If you’re having a family reunion or if you’ve never had real professional formal portraits done, the cruise is a decent opportunity to do this. You’re welcome to go back for photos as often as you like and all the shots can be included on one CD for a fixed price.

I've been on 50 cruises. Here are 5 things I wish I'd known before sailing in the Mediterranean.
This means you can go to the Reception and still be on time for dinner. On Disney Cruises of 7 nights or more, there will be a Captain’s Welcome Reception on Formal Night. It took me forever to pack because I didn’t want to miss anything. In the end, we could have just ordered room service! The only thing you really need is your passport and you are good to go.
This is a great time to wear fun and casual clothing. You can plan outfits for swimming, formal nights, dinners, and hanging out on the deck. This is a great outfit for a day where you’ll spend time exploring your cruise ship and want to be comfortable, but still wear a Disney outfit.
The on board shops will sell full pirate costumes for children as well as faux hook hands, eye patches, and other related accoutrements. As with formal and semi-formal night, how you decide to dress is up to you. A sizable minority of guests wear full pirate attire with custom designed clothing and boots. Another sizable minority wears just their regular clothing, with no nod to the pirate festivities going on around them.
OK, I get that, but I still might feel weird wearing shorts in the main dining room when others are wearing suits. Ensure that you are not accidentally bringing anything on board that is not allowed by reading the complete list of prohibited cruise items. Castaway Bay is Disney’s private island where many of the Caribbean sailings stop at.
The new changes are controversial as many people would like to see the previous dress codes be retained. There really can’t be many places in the world where it is absolutely fine, and almost expected, that you can dress as a pirate for dinner. Dress-up night is a good opportunity to put on your finest clothes and have a great picture taken.
I have left the previous dress code details below so that you can compare how it has changed. This is a very big change from the previous rules for the dress code. There are several restaurants on the Disney Cruise ships which allow adults only over the age of 18 to dine there.
