Needless to say, Ive learned a thing or two about what youll need once aboard.

Cruise dress codes have become more relaxed in recent years.

Here are 15 cruise outfits that will make you the best-dressed guest aboard your next cruise.

Amazon Prime Day ANRABESS Women’s Summer Straps One Shoulder Pleated High Waist Casual Wide Leg Jumpsuit

Amazon

Its made with lightweight linen for breathability and features a fashionable silhouette with a one-shoulder strap.

The high neckline balances its mini length and it features vertical stitching to accentuate your curves.

A white dress is a timeless closet staple that youll wear again and again.

If you dont already have one, why not invest before your trip?

The lace trim gives an otherwise simple shirt dress a more feminine touch.

Hurry, it’s selling out fast.

Linen-Blend Shell Mini Dress

Abercrombie

A long, tiered maxi skirt makes this a comfortable option for walking through windy decks.

The one-shoulder tie is stylish but also practical, making the dress more adjustable.

I felt so good in it all night long.

Annabella Lace Trim Linen Minidress Reformation

Nordstrom

My dress is Caroline Constas fromMarshalls, and while it isnt available online, thisMeshki versionis basically identical.

It features the same 3D crochet florals but has the bonus of coming in five different colors.

The black with white flowers might have to go into my cart for my next vacation.

While some people dressed down, others wore gowns.

Personally, I never mind being the most dressed-up person in the room.

After all, a cruise does offer great family photo opportunities.

The dress has some stretch to it to keep you comfortable throughout dinner in the dining room.

Throw a pair ofsilver kitten heelsin your suitcase and youll be ready for a long night of celebrations.

Its paired with a maxi skirt in a simple but pretty silhouette.

the simple yet elegant nature of the slip dress will match any cruise itinerary.

Plus, it fits the smart casual dress code of most cruise lines.

Id likely wear this outfit withloafersorballet flats,but it could also be made more warm-weather appropriate withslip-on sandals.

This is the perfect summer dress that you might dress up or down,said one reviewer.

The quality was good and it fit very well.
