Dining attire for RCI

This will be our first time on a cruise. We want to know what is appropriate dinner attire. Do I need to bring a jacket?

Most nights are "casual"...casual long pants, collared shirt (golf/polo is fine) for men. Most women will be in capris, skirts, sundresses, etc...

On the "formal" nights, you will see a variety of dress...from suits and tux/gowns or cocktail dresses to "Sunday" best sort of clothing, or even slightly nicer casual wear.. You don't NEED a jacket, but you certainly can bring one.

The buffet is casual every night...shorts are fine there.

I have not worn a jacket on a RCI cruise since 2013.I wear slacks or khakis or chinos with a button down shirt ,sweater or knit shirt .

Khakis or jeans and a polo on casual nights, maybe a sport coat on formal with a pair of slacks.

On our last couple of cruises with the most recent one in December (Christmas week), we saw alot of men just wear a dress shirt and tie. Dressing for formal nights seem to be going out of style. RC does not seem to enforce the dress code. Less packing for us.
