Thank you so much for sharing your outfits! You have excellent style and looked great and everything. I will be ordering several of these so happy to have the links. Thank you thank you!!!
Lovely dresses, very flattering, as you say any of those can be worn daytime or of an evening. I love little denim jackets with dresses, especially if it's a bit chilly in port. I've got quite a lot of clothes from Amazon easy to find exactly what I need. Great video Ilana x
I'm 4'11" so knowing you're 5'2" was rather helpful because I can see now that those first two dresses may not drag on the ground. I'm going to look at the bra links too because I'm a busty girl and cannot go braless at all. Thank you!!
This video is perfect timing - we just booked our first ever cruise for next spring & I’ve been searching for cruise/resort wear like a maniac for days haha! I also appreciate the real talk about shapewear, strapless bras, etc. I want to be cute but also comfy!!
Beautiful selection and well presented. All dresses are cruise successes and you looked amazing. Thank you for doing the shopping for us, relieves a lot of stress.❤
Nice finds, Ilana. I am hitting end of season sales at dept. stores right now for warm weather dresses for the Panama Canal cruise. The things I've gotten on Amazon are ship roaming type pieces... a navy loose romper to wear with sandals for daytime, and a more upscale black and white print one shoulder maxi cocktail dress (into evening and shows), both very forgiving. Excursion clothing is going to be different- vented shirts and dresses like the Columbia and Magellan brand outdoor clothing I wear constantly down here in the Texas heat. Today, it is 103 degrees where I live and I am wearing a long sleeved white Columbia fishing shirt inside the house and to run errands. These items are well engineered with hidden zip pocket plackets, snap fronts and velcro sunglass holders. I know you said bugs were an issue on the Panama trip you took, so I am going to try to make it hard for the critters.
I'm so glad you told us that you are only 5'2". I'm slightly taller by a 1/2" and always buy petite dresses. In the past when I click on the links to amazon and found they were not available in petite sizes, I would pass. Seeing you wearing them, now makes me aware that they won't be at my ankles.
Love how you keep it real! The navy dress always look so good on you. Brings attention to your face! I hope you find one in another color that works for your coloring!
Just about to head off on my Mediterranean cruise and it was good to see dresses that are similar to what I am taking. Thanks for the confirmation and I loved all of them. Thanks
Hi Ilana, You have good taste., A Women wearing dresses is very classy. Your very positive in what to wear. And a beautiful smile that shows. Thank you for all your time making wonderful travel videos 🙂👍 Safe cruising,
Love those dresses! My problem is being +sized, the sizing on Amazon tends to be 1 or 2 sizes smaller than the reality. At Torrid for example I wear a 2 (18-20 or 2x). A size 2 on Amazon is around 14-18. My favourite on you is the blue halter dress.
Thanks for sharing this. Usually I look on amazon for the reviews to see if people say they size up or down. I have a good blog post with plus size dresses & ideas lifewellcruised.com/plus-size-cruise-wear-cruise-outfits-for-curvy-women/
Thank you so much for this video. My husband and I are sailing at the end of September and this year is so hard to find outfits because I’ll be 21 weeks pregnant when we leave and I normally have a hard time finding clothes for cruising. I’m 5’7 but I’m nervous in finding clothes that will fit for this trip around. In no way am I saying you’re larger at all just love that some of these dresses are easy on the tummy area. Love your videos and channel so much!!
Really enjoyed these tips! I ordered the short dress. I bought ZESICA Women's 2024 Summer Knitted Sweater Dress Sleeveless Mock Neck Ribbed Side Slit Bodycon Tank Midi Dress from Amazon last month and it is a real winner, too!
this was so much 🤗FUN! thank u for filming this episode n sharing your size/try on/links ...on your next one will u please consider adding some all cotton, linen n silk outfits?
My family and I just got back from our very first cruise last week (to Alaska) and your videos and blog were sooooo helpful. Thank you ! Incidentally, I actually won a free cruise at bingo on the Alaskan cruise and will be going on a Caribbean cruise in February so this video was perfect 🤩
I have gotten several dresses you have shown us this past year and I Thank you for that! I also got a shirt for the hubs you showed your husband wearing. Do you think you could do a short video on mens wear?
Hi Ilana, I'm going on icon of the seas in March 2025 and I was wondering if you can give me some suggestions on what to wear. This is my first ever cruise, so excited, and I'm traveling from Philadelphia to Miami on March 14 and my cruise is from March 15-22. I have no idea what the weather will be or what to pack. Thank you and great video.
A very good fashion show, Illania, I have not found the dresses you modelled yet (I'm UK based) but also buy much of my cruise wear from Amazon. I am 5ft 3ins and have to take up everything, but the prices are so reasonable that I feel it is worth it. I am counting down to my next cruise now so your video was very timely - thank you
I’m already packing for my sailing next week and just came across this fashion show. You’re a lovely model. I’m wondering, do you wear shorts or longer pants on excursions? I see alot of footage of dresses 👗
Love this! Thank you so much for sharing. Now to start loading up my Amazon cart 😂. Any great suggestions or dos and dont’s you have for planning a Mediterranean cruise? We haven’t done a Med cruise yet and are looking at it for next summer. Would love to hear your thoughts.
One question I have before my first cruise this spring is about wind?? Is it not terribly windy on the ship? How do you not inadvertently flash everyone all the time? 😅🤣
Did you wear dresses on your Alaskan cruise for dinner? I am going on Norwegian on tour in September 1925. I know I plan to bring Jeans but I just wondered about dresses.
You had another long black dress on one of your other videos. I lost it though. Can you please repost? Also, can you wear a Jean jacket in the main dining room? Thanks for your informative videos!
I love all your clothes and you look fantastic in them! May I ask how tall you are? I'd like to compare as to where these cute maxi dresses will hit on my legs. I'd really appreciate it. Another great video!
Darhling dresses. How about the white thin blouse you had on over a tank when you were showing your rattan bag on your shoulder going down a narrow village street. I like that white thin loose blouse you wore with jeans
Love the styles, but they are so expensive. I do t think the average person can afford Several dresses at $52 each. I recently got several vacation dresses from Kohl’s and from SHEIN. All were under $40 and most were under $20.
Very nice video as always! If you ever want to do a video on designer dresses from Italy & France, Dior, Valentino, Gucci, Prada, there are incredible options to buy 80%- 90% off the retail price for great discounts. As we live in Florida and Italy, we have perfected the art of champagne take on a beer budget!
Wow! Sounds fantastic, but because I try to share clothing & items that are easily accessible & available to a large group of people, that becomes more of a challenge
Did you wear dresses on your Alaskan cruise for dinner? I am going on Norwegian encore in September 1925. I know I plan to bring Jeans but I just wondered about dresses.
@@LifeWellCruised I’ll check it out. I think I did previously but can’t recall what u wore. Now that I’ve completed my Caribbean cruise it’s time to focus on my Alaska one 😂. If I could squeeze in another one in between those 2 I would but can’t convince hubby 😝

Love the video and the dresses. Now you need to do one with outfits for an Alaskan cruise.
I have a video with Alaska packing & what I wore. It was from last year - if you search my channel you should find it
@@LifeWellCruised must have missed it. I thought I had seen all your videos. 😍

Also, I found the most awesome strapless bra at SOMA
Wish I could tolerate the halter type dresses as they look great. I did order one and should receive soon to wear on my bday cruise next month.
Hope you like it & happy birthday!

Do uou have recommendations for a white or black ‘shrug’ top to wear over sleeveless or halter dresses?
I’ll look for it
Thank you! We.are excited to be cruising a b2b on the Sun Princess in mid-October.

Thank you
I can’t wear things like a halter dress because I have problems with my neck. They were cute but can’t do those. I do love wearing dresses.
You had another long black dress on one of your other videos. I lost it though. Can you please repost? Also, can you wear a Jean jacket in the main dining room? Thanks for your informative videos!
What about hats? We are going on our 1st cruise in April. 4 day Carnival cruise from Galveston to Cozumel
You could definitely wear a straw hat to the beach or a baseball cap on the ship. I have a hat in another video with basic wardrobe items women need
Hi what shape wear do you use please
I’ll look & add a link in future

@@LifeWellCruised Thanks! This helps!
Clicked over today because I thought this said Amazon Cruise!
Haha no, not this time 😂
@@LifeWellCruised grocers comma?
How can I find what luggage tags I need for a regent cruise??
Since it’s a luxury/upscale cruise line, they may send you tags & a booklet. Perhaps send them a quick email or call for that :)
Always always buy new clothes on A cruise. It makes everything more exciting!!! Don’t go on vacation with old clothes. Should be taboo!
👗😂👏
can you give some more ideas for men to wear in a future video
I’ll be collecting ideas (as I have been for a while) & will share in a video in a couple months. Is it Caribbean cruise wear you’d like to see?
@@LifeWellCruised either that or clothes for the Mexican Rivera as we are going there in December
Do any of the halter style dresses have a built-in bra?
I think there’s some support, yes, but not an actual bra. I think I could probably wear without
i need a packing guide for canada/new england cruise lol
Perfect! If you search on RUclips for what to pack for a Canada New England cruise my video will come up

Thank you! This was from Zara
Someone placed an upside down pineapple magnet on my door, what does that mean? is that good luck?
😂
Trying to tell if any of the dresses have a liner of sorts
I think only the long black one with buttons. The halter style ones shown at the beginning are not thin
Lovely dresses but mostly polyester and that material is too hot for me 😢
Sorry to hear that
Love the styles, but they are so expensive. I do t think the average person can afford Several dresses at $52 each. I recently got several vacation dresses from Kohl’s and from SHEIN. All were under $40 and most were under $20.
Sorry to hear they were pricier than expected. Many were less than that when i purchased & looked, but great that you found good options:)
Waiting for the strapless bra info . I am a DD and have not found one that holds the girls….they just look like a big sausage across my chest!
I’ll look for best recommendations. You & I sound like we’re not the same in that area 😉
