I love all your outfits! Dresses are so easy and look great. I thought the black formal dress was gorgeous on you! Thanks for the links.

Yes! I am in process of planning my outfits for a March cruise. This was soooo helpful! Thank you!

Yes on men’s packing- especially since I pretty much pack for my husband! I make the same spreadsheet for dinner outfits for him as I do for myself.

Shein is my absolute go to for cruise clothing and swim wear. Pricing is great and quality is not too bad on most things.

LOVE your videos!! Just returned from an 8-night cruise on Carnival Horizon, and was so happy to get back on a ship! In May we’re on Celebrity Millennium 10-night Pacific Coast , then March a 15-night on Ruby Princess to Hawaii. We had a total of 6 cruises canceled, so this is more cruising than we usually do in a years time. Your videos have me excited to get back on both cruise lines! ❤

Thanks for the video Ilana, it appears that you and your husband dress to compliment each other, that's the way we dress and enjoy formal nights. I do all my own packing and would love to see a video on mens packing, I can always learn something new! Thanks again! Have Fun and Happy Cruising!!😎👍

I am a last minute packer and I played the video to remind me of what to pack and what was in the closet. I would start and stop the video. I think you covered everything for me. Thank you for your time making this video and showing pictures. I had a good idea of temperature, wendy

I loved all your outfits.......lots of great choices x

California Linda shares WOW....stunning and classic evening look, absolutely beautiful! I almost always wear slacks, a coordinating top and jacket when cruising. The weight of the fabric depends upon the anticipated climate. Imagine my surprise when I found my goto Chicos brand for sale onboard Princess. Now, the shops are one of my first must do on embarkation after lunch at Alfredo's and sail away, there are times that I have been able to purchase another coordinating item for what I packed for the cruise, or purchase something that a year ago was not in my budget. Thanks for sharing.

Really cute outfits. For my 'Welcome Back' cruise in November 2021, I ordered a 3 outfits, 2 I absolutely loved, will be a return customer, haven't tried Shein yet. Thanks for sharing!

You and your family looks amazing on the photos! thanks for the tips! I am going for my first cruise next week!!! let's see how it is!

Lovely outfits. I tend to wear dresses on my cruise and off shore too. I find them stylish and when in European cities, less of a tourist. For formal nights, I purchases pair of crepe palazzo pants that looks like I am wearing a long skirt. I can match it with any number of sequin and/or metallic tops. I find these dress slacks very versatile and are perfect for any formal occassion. Also, they are a space saver in my luggage.

... nice thing about the Caribbean cruises is wear anything white and your set ... covered as needed from the sun ... great for hot, humid weather ... best thing is you can wear the outfit twice and no one bat's an eye ... senior man here ... pack light ...

Love all your outfits! You wear them well!

Hi Ilana! I love nautical outfits too! The blue stripes make my cruise experience more special. Awesome how you coordinate your outfits with that of your hubby. So yes! I would love a video about packing for men. 🧳

Loved seeing all your outfits. Love this kind of content as it’s easy to relate to. Shein here in UK is incredibly cheap. I haven’t bought anything but my daughters have. I am an older larger lady so have to watch the cut and length. Looking forward to seeing any new purchases you make. I didn’t even know Amazon sold clothes.

A menswear video would be terrific. My husband has no clue what to pack so I end up packing for both of us. Over the years, after many cruises, I've gotten so much better at not overpacking. I love dresses that can do double or triple duty-smart casual dinners, ports, coverups. As always, a great video!

I'm a minimalist packer (and solo traveller)...I take the largest carry-on suitcase permitted, a large tote bag and a medium-size travel purse. Almost never need to check luggage- except for Alaska. I bring 2 or 3 nice dresses made from wrinkle-free fabric that I can literally ball up. I generally don't do formal nights, although I could with one of the dresses. Only one bathing suit as I enjoy shade more than sun.

Going on our 1st ever cruise in march and your videos are a great help thanks.

Boston Proper is my go-to for casual elegance. Swimsuits: board shorts and a rash guard, it's a sunburn thing. Thanks ever so for sharing!

Loved this video! You have great taste and are budget friendly!!

Your videos are so helpful! Thank you!

Yes a packing for men , and also suitcase or a garment bag packing video too !!

Beautiful choice of Outfits

Pockets are a must!

Beautiful outfits! Nice for a cruise. Thanks! God bless!😍🙏🙏👀

Your info is invaluable. Thank you! You are so beautiful by the way!!! Such a beautiful couple! Your hubby looks so proud to be with you. Adorable. 💕

Oh you look so absolutely lovely in your red SHEIN dress with your hubs! How adorable - thank you for the tips!! 💃

Very helpful. This is my second cruise. I am trying not to overpack. Great ideas.

Your cruise prep video is excellent and very helpful when packing. These are great planning tips. I have the same RL wedge thong sandals in brown and the gold. Both are comfortable. I’ll certainly take all your travel advise. Thanks again.

Love all your outfits! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you I loved the choices for future cruises that I’m planning.

I’m a solo senior traveller and a minimalist dresser and packer. I’ll be going on a Panama Canal cruise in a few days time and I’ll mostly be wearing shorts, tshirts and blouses. I will also be bringing a pair of yoga pants. I won’t be attending formal nights and probably not even MDR. I usually go to the buffet and order room service. I will be bringing two swimsuits and a cover up. You look great in your outfits. I think you’re a clothes horse😅. You and your husband are always so smartly attired.

Thank you for this, even though I haven't had a dress on in ages, Still some good tips. Thank you for putting your links in all your videos. I've watched stuff and didn't write it down. Now I don't have to go dig for what I wanted. You look so cute, I'd love to be a size small and wear dresses again!!!

Yes, please, on what to wear for men! It'd be great to maybe cover both what your husband and son(s) wear to get an idea for different generations. Thanks for the helpful videos. Stay safe!

I love your style, you definitely inspired me for my cruise. I enjoy classy and laid back attire. I am 26 years old and my two year old son will be cruising with me. I did not want to look back at family photos and look like a teenybopper lol

Beautiful pictures!💕

Thank you for the great videos as always

Love ypur style! Thanks so much for the help! We are going on our first cruise for our 20th Anniversary. 🥰

Hi Ilana, when I saw the content of this video I handed it right over to Jill. I could wear the same shorts and t-shirt on a 10 night cruise and not think twice about it. A fashion model I am NOT. Hi from Bob in rags and Jill dressed to the 9's here in Connecticut

I’ve bought swim suits from shein (waiting for arrival) but I have hit the absolute jackpot at goodwills! Some of the most gorgeous dresses. I cannot wait to wear it all.

Hey, love the blue formal dress!!Thanks for the content. Cruising in May.. Cannot wait!!

Cute choice of dresses.I loved them all, however all of them were sleeveless. Probably a obvious choice due to the weather, but I just don’t feel comfortable unless there’s a slight short sleeve. Thanks for the suggestions!

You look wonderful in bright colors!

Absolutely love this video thank you!

For sunglasses, you can get straps to go on the legs and they'll keep your sunnies afloat if they get away from you on an excursion! They're usually fun neon colors too. Can hang on your neck instead of your head or keep them from getting sandy (or suntan oiled up 😭) in the beach bag etc

your videos are fun and informative! Thank you so much!!!

Just wanted to thank you for your great tip about bringing magnetic hooks on our cruise. So helpful. We just returned yesterday from a 10 day cruise on the Celebrity Silhouette. It was heaven!! No port changes. All went well. 2 years in the waiting.

Yes what to wear and pack for Men on a cruise.

You looked great 😍😍omg I love your outfit

I like your outfits! I’ve ordered pieces from SHEIN’s as well and found out about them from another video or Facebook! Several cruisers say they get cruise outfits from them! Thank you for sharing!

I just bought the Navy striped embarkation dress and the boho dress with short sleeves. I have been eyeing them for a while.

Thanks for sharing your outfits

I too love to watch these types of videos and wish there were more of them! That romper is speaking my language😊 Yes finding men videos is really hard.

Thanks for this great video.

My favorites! Fashion & Cruise info.. your husband was right. That red Shein dress was very flattering

Lovely outfits & dresses. You look great in all of them.❤️ I bought two romper suits for my upcoming cruise, along with some nice dresses. Most of the clothes I'm planning to bring are new but I just wanted to treat myself 😊

Very helpful indeed !!

That red dress is gorgeous on you!

Beautiful dresses!

My wife and I are going on our fist cruise in December 2024. We appreciate this guidance, and as a guy, I would be interested in seeing a video to help me plan how to pack. We've been enjoying all your videos. Thank you.

Love all your outfits

i did buy two of the sun dresses from amazon like you have on.love it.

Yes for packing for men! ❤️

A video for what men should wear and pack for their cruise would be great!

would love to see a men's packing video! My son-in-law is joining on a cruise for the first time and it would be great for him to see something like this. Thanks!

Oh, how fun! A cruise fashion video. It's the thing that I obsess the most about regarding the cruise. I'd do rompers but it's so hard to use the bathroom. So it's two pieces and dresses for me.

Thanks for sharing, so excited for my first cruise soon, oh your son is handsome...

So cute!!!!

Beautiful long black dress!! I alos love the coral dress you said your husband likes

Taking a Southern Carribean cruise in 2024. Took a 7 day cruise in early September 2022, packed way too much. I know now what not to bring. And a rolling carry on!!

Thank you!

i’m having the hardest time with my husband’s night outfits so a packing for men or what your husband wore would be awesome

Thanks for the suggestions on clothing , this is my 1st real cruise with my hubby , so I was worried about clothing.

Beautiful... Couldn't find comments on other video....but Absolutely NO pajamas out of the cabin!!! Thank you

I have watched I think all of your videos. Would love to see a video about what size luggage you recommend. Since you say you can only bring one per person, how do you get everything you talk about with your clothes and shoes in one piece of luggage? Maybe a video on best ways to pack your bag with everything you will need would be very helpful to alot of people preparing for their first cruise.

I just order 3 sundresses from Amazon and a few other things you suggested . I'm a little heavier than you, sew I hope I look good in them! Thanks for all your tips on cruising.

Thank you for this video! We are cruising next month (only our 2nd one so I’m still a little unsure of things) so this was really helpful. Love all of your content! Would love a mens clothing video.

You have some very cute outfits. ❤️

Yes, Packing for guys

I would love to see a packing video for cold weather cruising. We have a few cruises coming up that will be in cold weather. I have found dresses that I can wear for evening and make them dressing with jewelry and shoes and my purse and then turn the dress around another day dress down with other jewelry sandals or flip flops .

Very helpful

Loved this video!

Thank you 😊

Good video and would be helpful if I was 25 years younger. Consider doing one for older women whose knees and arms are not so great anymore. Thank you

Yes I’d like to see a video on what men should wear

Love your videos so helpful!!! Where did you get the painting in the back of you of the waves?

Packing for men would be great. We are going on an Alaska cruise with Princess end of May-June. Husband is not a formsl guy and want make sure he is not too casual especially for formal nights.

Very good vlog. Thanks. Love your coral red dress and your black evening dress. I'm much larger than you so those sun dresses won't fit me but it gave good ideas nonetheless. I haven't been as lucky as you buying online dresses.

Nice dress

Packing for men would be very useful 🥰

Do you have a video on what to wear on a Alaskan cruise, I’ve never even seen snow so have no idea on what the weather is like in May, I’m imagining myself in ski gear lol but have heard it’s not needed. Thanks

Yes. Would like to see examples of what men wear on cruise. Casual and formal plezse

I would love to see a list for the men!

Yes, please do a video on packing for men.

Thanks for the cruising tips. They worked great on our last cruise. What water shoes did you get? Our next cruise is coming up.

Love your videos! We are going on a cruise this year. I absolutely love the dark blue cover up in your video but you did not mention where you got it from and it wasn’t in the links you left - lacy look coverup - it was a pic of you standing in the shallow end of the pool in this video. It’s so pretty and what I am looking for! Thank you in advance and thank you for posting all these amazing videos!

I love the navy/white dress! and I love the t shirt boho dress! Where did you get the Gucci tote? I love it!

My husband packs more than me! He likes to wear shorts when he can. Has been taking light colored long slacks (he would need a second pair of shoes if he brought dark slacks)… it would be great to see how many button down Vs polo Vs tshirts…
