Embarkation day is always an exciting day. One that I am always looking forward to. Until this day arrives, I always always always worry about what I will be packing for this cruise. I have yet to overcome my over-packing habit. Only time will tell if I succeed this time.

I purchased our shirts while we were on our last cruise with the intention of wearing it on our next cruise. At that time, I did not realize our next cruise would be this soon. This shirt will likely be in the regular rotation for our embarkation shirts.

Since I am uncertain to what the weather will be like, I am planning on wearing jeans while boarding. But I will also be taking a pair of denim capri’s just in case. The jeans are KUT from the Kloth that was in a StitchFix box a few years ago. The capri’s were purchased at SteinMart several years ago as well.

Embarkation day is definitely the day to wear comfy shoes. I learned this the hard way when I decided to wear a brand new, never worn pair of Sperry’s. Luckily, I was able to switch into comfy shoes before we boarded the ship. For this cruise, I will be wearing my Reeboks. They are the best shoes for me as they offer a lot of arch support and are very comfortable.

Let’s not forget the socks!!! I found these at Target. Of course the socks must be a Valentine theme!!!!

I love jewelry and I really enjoyted finding the perfect pieces for my embarkation outfit. All of which were found by accident!!!!!

Also from Target are the red heart earrings an the gold heart necklace. Both are by the brand SugarFix by BaubleBar. I love their stuff!!

I found a red heart necklace on Oriental Trading online while I was searching for things for a Disney themed project. I love this one.

While shopping for Valentine decorations for my moms apartment, I found these heart bead necklaces at Dollar Tree. Might as well add them to the embarkation day outfit as well.

Unfortunately, I have waited until the last possible time to start my pre-cruise diet. I’m hoping to drop at least a few pounds. I want to make sure I have room to grow into the clothes I will be taking on this cruise. I’m sure the HydroxyCut I started taking on Monday will help. I will include a weekly diet update every Thursday.
