Shorts in MDR on Allure

Hi guys,

Carnival cruiser here looking to book my first cruise on RCCL on the Allure. Every carnival cruise I was allowed to wear nice shorts and shirt in the MDR. Formal nights I would wear khaki pants or nice jeans. I was reading that RCCL doesn't allow shorts at all in the MDR. Is this strictly enforced or can I put on a nice pair of shorts and shoes? I know this may be pushing it but I also wore flip flops every night in the MDR as well on Carnival. Would I get turned away for these things?

Thanks.

RC specifically asks for no shorts in the MDR at dinner. They may or may not enforce that.

Carnival cruiser whose name is NCLNewbie and wants to sail RCI? I love a tri-curious cruiser. :D

We won't be able to answer until we see a pic of your knees, and how much hair do you have on your toes:p

Lol my first cruise was on NCL and then I tried Carnival and liked it much better and now I would like to try RC! :p

You will probably be asked to put on long pants for the MDR, if you want to wear shorts then there are other dining venues that woud be fine with shorts.

We were on Allure last week. Shorts were worn by some including someone in our party. Even saw them in Samba.

No one said a thing.

Flip flops is really pushing it.

Would the buffet be the only other venue that will accept shorts?

Park Cafe, Sorrento's, Wipeout Cafe, Johnny Rockets, Boardwalk Doghouse would probably have no problem with shorts.

While the shorts issue is important, what we really want to know is how you feel about disconecting the shower head from its hose.

I have worn shorts in chops before, I called them and the oked it

Shorts should not be worn in the MDR or specialty restaurants for dinner. If you prefer to remain casual (many do) you may visit the Windjammer, Johnny Rockets and Sorrentos, etc.

You can do the same thing on the Allure.

There was no long pant enforcement on Allure or Oasis when we cruised, but other ships seem to randomly enforce the "suggestion". Only long pants on Jewel this week.

Wear your shorts...its your vacation too. Dont mind the begrudgers.

Hasn't been enforced on my two RCCL cruises. [emoji4]

Greetings,

As previously stated, it's your vacation, on casual dress nights we have worn nice dress shorts and sandals.

We did dress in long pants for the formal nights.

These were Caribbean cruises we were one and we find the temperature to be very warm.

Enjoy your cruise.

As others have said there are varying viewpoints on the matter. Personally "casual" nights to my family means Khakis and polo/button down shirt. Formal to us means suits. Every cruise we see the outliers of course wearing jeans and a t-shirt at formal night and those people are of the extreme minority.

We have seen people in shorts turned away from the dining room a number of times.

Park Cafe, Sorrento's, Wipeout Cafe, Johnny Rockets, Boardwalk Doghouse would probably have no problem with shorts.

Off topic but just where is the Park Cafe located on Allure? I have looked at the deck plans looking for the Park Cafe, just can't seem to find the location. Sailing on her next month and we loved the Park Cafe on Serenade.

Thank you

We were welcomed in Chops on Enchantment Sep/Oct. We were headed to WJ and Chops Waiters were there. They were promoting BOGO that night. I said but we have shorts on. They said it didn't matter and escorted us to Chops for dinner. We have worn shorts in Speciality Restaurants several times in shorts. These all were promoting a particular Speciality Restaurant while we were in line for other venues.

We don't wear shorts into the MDR except for possible lunch.

Park Cafe on Allure is in Central Park, deck 8, port side.

I have seen people wear shorts in the MDR in every cruise I have been on. Including Holland America. As long as they are clean and nice looking you should be fine. I did see once someone get turn away in the MDR on Carnival for wearing a tank top.

Although my personal opinion is we don't wear shorts in the specialty restaurants. Because we are paying for a "special" meal and want to dress up. We don't go to 5 star restaurants in shorts at home either. Although we did do the hamburger place on Royal in the after noon and of course we had shorts on. But I wan't paying $30 dollars pp either. :cool:

The only thing that will happen is they consider you "under dress" and turn you away. :)
