Cruise Dress Code

Gone are the days when crusin' is strictly formal. With cruise lines getting diverse so has the dress code onboard. Cruising with Pullmantur is no complicated at all. On daytime we were allowed to wear informal clothes while hanging around the ship. Smart casual for dinner was required (though some were in formal wear).  Depending on the duration of the cruise, a formal wear may be required for a "gala night".

Before packing for the cruise, ask your travel agency on the dress code of the cruise line and what kind of parties they have at night. This will ensure right outfit packed.

Happy sailing!

Buzios and Praia Privativa

Stopovers we had from our brazilian cruise are Buzios and Pria Privativa. Both are beaches and are located in state of Rio de Jainero.

First stop was Buzios, a city with 30,000 habitants where a greater part are Argentinians. One of the tourist spots in Rio de Jainero that has different beach resorts. What to expect from the city? Beautiful apartments and hotels, restaurants, shopping centers that caters mostly to foreign guests. Unfortunately, wasn't able to dip on its salty water. It was drizzling and water was cold. 

Next set of pictures were taken from Pria Privativa. Our second stopover. A private beach that offers water sports like kayak, banana boat, snorkeling and a lot more. Fine sand, waves, and not so crystal clear water (but good enough to swim). Restos are not as diversified like the ones in Buzios. Souvenir shops exists. Beers are expensive like Skol in can that normally costs R$ 2,00 at the stores are being sold at the beach for R$ 6,00.

Pullmantur Sovereign Cruise

Cruise the first time with Pullmantur Sovereign Cruise Ship. 4 days and 3 nights sailing within coasts of Brazil. It was an amazing experience. The ship was luxurious, elegant and offers high level of comfort while sailing. A whole lot of entertainment day and night with an all inclusive package. Sovereign is the biggest ship of Pullmantur and also the insignia vessel of the company. Got lucky to have experienced cruising with them. Excellent crew service with almost 50% Filipinos. The cruise was a part of my birthday celebration and a honeymoon as well. Enjoyed immensely!

Best vacation so far. Hoping to go on another cruise, longer and farther soon.
