Actually Don, any Bermuda Shorts are OK. Khaki are great, for the veterans, 
old issued  camo pants cut at the appropriate length for Bermudas are also 
appropo'

high

Knee high black socks are only acceptable if they are Support Socks, the 
kind that I, and many folks over age 40 wear to increase circulation, and 
elimiate stasis ulcers.

High topped sneakers are a no-no  Birkenstocks or other leather sandals are 
required with the socks.


> flowered shirts ---

Actually, any shirt considered Hawaiian or Parrot-Head is uniform.  I have 
about 10 of them, and buy new ones whenever I can find them in my size 
(extra Fat).  I've been wearing them since I lived in Puerto Rico--about 25 
years, and also Guyabera shirts (also known as the Caribbean Leisure Suit) 
are also quite fashionable with this uniform.

No, but your wife/girlfriend/significant other can. Only if they show the 
logo of a cruise line--Wanda has one from Holland America Line.


 Cataract sun glasses????

Only if you need them.  If not, the fishing glasses with the photo orange 
lenses are OK.
