In late spring we're going on a 5-day Disney Cruise in the Caribbean with a total of 18 family members. We are the old fuddy-duds of the group, which includes 6 kids from ages 2 1/2 to 11. It will be the kids' first cruises ever.

If any of you have done one of these, I need advice on what I will really need to take.

Long ago I joined https://www.cruisecritic.com but haven't been active there lately. I've been on lots of cruises but it's been more than 5 years and I have done a Caribbean cruise 3 times. I did read up on cruise critic and on Facebook, so I have an idea what to expect.

But what about WtW on the cruise itself? They say it's pretty informal. We may eat in the adults only dining room once or twice or maybe do the adults brunch, which they say are a bit dressier.

Having just completed a round of fluorouracil (chemotherapy for skin cancer & pre-cancers) I'm going to try to stay covered up or inside while the young mid-westerners bake to a lovely tan. Not that I want to show off my skin anyway. Still, night will fall.

I saw these pants on J Crew before they were available and couldn't wait to buy them, and knowing J Crew I waited until they went on sale. I'm a bit disappointed--I didn't expect to look like the model, but I don't think they flatter me.I think they make me look like I have short legs. I do have a pair of NYDJ from last year, same length, but they fall straight.

I won't be wearing this pink tee shirt, and probably will wear sandals most of the time. I just haven't gotten them out from the closet shelves yet.

First photo in afternoon light--color off. 2nd one more accurate.

Should I shorten them?
Should I have them tailored, shortened with a cuff?
Should I leave them home?
What colors top and/or shoes/sandals would you wear with them?

Edited to add a photo I finally found of white DKNYs.

I may take a pair of longer length shorts with me.
