How do I plan matching cruise shirts for a group?
Pick a design and colors early, collect each traveler's size, and order 4 to 6 weeks before sailing so you have time for proofs and shipping. Choose breathable cotton or performance fabric for warm ports, and check your cruise line's dress guidance for formal nights. Matching tees work well for family reunions, birthdays and group cruises.
