If all else fails, ask your RS.

4) additional tip for a hefty pour 😉

If this is what makes you happy and comfortable, don’t let anyone try to bully you into something else.

That said, one has to appreciate when one offers a perfectly accurate observational summary.

One wonders why there are certain ones among us who struggle with comma splices when one is struggling with one’s response.

Now having dinner (CC in Santa Fe MDR). Saw two guys in separate groups walk in wearing shorts. One was even wearing flip flops!! They were seated and appeared to be enjoying their meals. I’m wearing black jeans and a Hawaiian shirt. Funny thing about all of this. The ship remained upright and afloat. There were no tremors felt. Everyone in the MDR seemed to also enjoy their meals and most importantly, despite the boorish behavior of these two miscreants, no one died!! Happy Endings had by all. Life is good!!!😃😃😃

Today on the Diamond. No IC. This is from Good Spirits

On the Diamond now. While far from spectacular, these speeds represent a wholesale improvement over our last several cruises. We were lucky to get 0.01 on those. Here we are able to utilize the web satisfactorily.

Even something purported to be mandatory isn’t so unless there are those who accept the responsibility of enforcing said mandate. Not happening here presumably for fear of upsetting the paying pax.

For the first few days out of San Diego, I’d estimate about 80% compliance with masking. As the days have worn on, I’d estimate it’s down to about 60%.

Enough, please!!!

There are many, many threads on dress options here on CC. A “dress up” or what is laughably known as “formal” night will come around about once a week or so on most cruises. Please see my post #31 above for information specific to this cruise. In summary, wear whatever you wish. If you choose to wear a tux to dinner, great do it! If you choose to wear shorts to dinner, great do it! On this cruise (in CC) we’ve not seen anyone in a tux or equivalent, some ties and jackets, but a fair number of dressy folks. We’ve also seen shorts on “formal night”. Despite some here trying their best to convince everyone that “dressing up” is mandatory (their point of view has gone the way of the dodo bird!!), it simply IS NOT SO. Dress how you wish. Dress in a way which suits your comfort level. If you choose to be bullied by the fashion police, so be it. If you choose to go your own way, so be it. ANY dress is acceptable in ANY dining room on ANY ship on ANY itinerary on ANY night of the cruise. Hope this answers your concerns.

Interloper check!!

WHAT?????? Brought to you from the land of make believe!

Looking forward to your missives. And your observations on interlopers!

ANY dress (this includes Aloha shirts and shorts) on ANY Princess ship on ANY itinerary (this includes “[not so] formal nights”) in ANY dining room.

ANY dress on ANY Princess ship on ANY itinerary in ANY dining room. What did I leave out?

The following us offered FYI ONLY. This morning at breakfast in the MDR I asked the MD about men wearing shorts at dinner in the MDR. He advised that is a battle this ship (he added all others as well) has chosen not to fight. Anything goes. If they turn someone away they go the purser’s desk and complain. He advised it wasn’t worth it He went on to say that there were those who arrived for dinner on “formal night” in shorts and tee shirts. They were seated. All of that said, I’ll continue to wear my black jeans and Hawaiian shirt every night on every dining room and elsewhere on every ship.

Whatever you choose to wear you WILL be fine.

😃😃😃

And I wish them great success at this endeavor.

And there is no YC staff to purge the chair hogs?? If not, why not I have to wonder.

Check this out. Discussion of of MEW later in the thread
