I'm not trying to ban anything.Unlike you,I don't care what people wear and do not judge people by what they wear.Remember,We are not in HIGH SCHOOL. :cj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
househunter Posted September 27, 2009 #303 Share Posted September 27, 2009 This thread is about whether or not jeans should be allowed in the dining room- you're right it is not high school but that is the topic. This is what I would wear Can anyone honestly say that it looks worse than something like this The one on the bottom is what the jean haters think is appropriate for the dining room on casual nights but the other photo is not?:eek: On most of my cruises, especially the HAL one, a majority of the women were dressed like the 2nd photo, not anything I would wear but not something I think should not be allowed. Everyone should be able to wear what they want as long as it is ok with the cruiseline! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaglesRock Posted September 27, 2009 #304 Share Posted September 27, 2009 And I never ridiculed anyones Grandmother! It was another poster who said hers dressed like that. :eek: Agreed, and I think we all know which "happy and tolerant" poster that was!:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is another alternative.... you could also wear nice capris (which would be lighter for a Caribbean cruise anyways). There really is no debate...cruiselines want to appeal to many more people...which is why jeans are now allowed, just as how they have a more relaxed formal night...you are no longer "required" to wear a tux or suit, some men are wearing just nice shirts and ties (no jackets) and women in nice dresses but not gowns as it was at one point. It is no longer the "upscale" vacation that it once was. Which means that, if they are smart and want to target all demographics, they will allow jeans. Which results in many other changes. So...like it or not the "no jeans" have lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you met me or my granny we would laugh with you too. I give you permission to laugh if you see me tumble down the stairs on any ship in heels. It's funny to see someone 5'.11" wearing 3.5-4" heels on a moving ship. Laughter is always fine, as long as you are not pointing. Dancing in them was plain silly! I Hazeleyez- I agree that cruising is NOT the "upscale' vacation it used to be. The cruise lines have decided to turn wonderful vessels meant to take you to beautiful places into amusement parks and circus at sea. After doing rock wall and flow rider, my legs and body would be useless for pretty shoes and frock. It doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to sit and have a nice meal because I had too much fun in the day. That's Funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am only 5'4" and in my opinion, unless you are very tall, capris make your legs look even shorter and stubbier than they are. Not a very flattering look for us short people! My jeans are not hot at all, in fact they "breathe" much better and are cooler than synthetic fabrics like rayon and polyester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandsix Posted September 27, 2009 #312 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Many people when told they can wear jeans, wear the same ones that they use to mow the lawn.

Rafa Posted September 27, 2009 #314 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Ummmm.....why don't you make sure to take a shower and do your hair, put on something causal and classy and make it a nice night out for yourself and I'll do the same. Sorry, but in this day and age, jeans with a dressy top and heels is a casual, classy outfit. What are you wearing that is different? Dockers? That's not considered classy where I'm from for dining out but casual, yes. Dress pants? Too business-wearish for dining out. What else....let's see? Skirt - sure, dress -sure - I mean it's all opinions, but since yours is so strong I'm just giving you mine.Now if you are a man, then it's different. Nice jeans, polo shirt looks great. Sport coat, casual shirt and jeans look nice. I think a suit is a bit much on casual night for me, but okay. Dockers, again, to me are a bit too casual but for men I think's its fine. See how useless my opinions are and how they don't really matter?:D Just because you haven't discovered the fashion of jeans doesn't mean its equated to not showering or doing your hair. Actually, that makes me ask. When you wear jeans do you not shower, brush your hair, put on nice shoes (I guarantee my heels are much nicer with my jeans than they would be with chino's or dockers;)) and perfume? Because that's kind of gross....just saying... I'm pretty sure my jeans, heels and cute top are going to look alot better than the woman at the next table's elastic waist, polyester pants, sweater with a picture of a cat on it and tennis shoes. But yes, both are allowed into the dining room on casual night. Jeans are perfectly fine and better than what many wear! I have to admit some ladies look beautiful in jeans & heels for these few they can get away even with murder :-) not only on cruises but anywhere the rules are bended or overlooked if this is the case -happens all the time... but the average Joe, please. Now let me apologize if you are one of these selected goddess on earth you can wear anything you want and everyone will recognize this :-) T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbond Posted September 27, 2009 #319 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Many people when told they can wear jeans, wear the same ones that they use to mow the lawn. That maybe what you do, but don't assume that others do the same. You have adopted the same ridiculous reasoning that many anti jean people adopt, namely, jeans by their very nature must be dirty, worn out, full of holes and worn by someone with no class or dress taste. Get with it, it's 2009, Eisenhower is no longer President. You painted the wrong picture.... Usually it's faded, sometimes ripped/holey and dirty jeans, and a shirt with 2 cats....hump'n. Usually? On all the cruises that I have been on, I've never seen dirty/ripped jeans and never a shirt as you describe, but it is good to see you posting something other than the link to the suggested dress code.

I am not partial to flats (especially with how short I am) or very casual shoes. Gotta love being short...I think I read on hear that someone sometimes wears nice pants with filp flops? I am sure they look very stylish on him/her but my gosh on me...I would have tripped on the pants leg very easily...forget about what I was wearing, people would be irritated at having to step over me to get into the MDR.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
