Gambit6971 Posted June 28, 2010 #1 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I read on one post that if you are eating in the steak house on formal night you are required to be wearing a jacket. Could someone let me know if this is correct? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cthulu Fhtagn Posted June 28, 2010 #4 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I read on one post that if you are eating in the steak house on formal night you are required to be wearing a jacket. Could someone let me know if this is correct? Thank you. The Elder God is a benevolent interdimensional being and has researched this issue for you. As per CCL's website (http://www.carnival.com/cms/requestforms/CCLSteakhouseRequest.htm?icid=CC_Hyperlink_7 ): "The dress code requires that men wear jackets on the 'Cruise Elegant' nights of the cruise." It is in the grey fine print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitemyfly Posted June 28, 2010 #6 Share Posted June 28, 2010 the last 3 times i was in the steakhouse i would say that at least 75% of men did not have jackets.. ( please note I was only in the steakhouse once for elegant night). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffbhhs Posted June 28, 2010 #7 Share Posted June 28, 2010 i thought any night you eat in the steak house a jacket was required???:confused: I have gone to the steak house on two different ships (one princess and 2 of the same carnival) and a jacket was not required in either restaurant...

LRY229 Posted June 28, 2010 #10 Share Posted June 28, 2010 We have eaten at the Steakhouse on both the Liberty and Glory on the 2nd "elegant" night both times. We were told no shorts and no jeans - jackets were not required. We saw everythng from tuxes to polo shirts and dockers. Excellent meal both times. Totally worth the surcharge. Can't wait to go again on my Legend cruise in Oct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bets are still that Carnival is the source of correct information. I never worry about enforcement. I can read what they expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incorrect. Jacket needed, but policy not enforced. The Elder God wishes that you are prepared should the steakhouse enforce it's policy the next time you cruise.

Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted June 28, 2010 #16 Share Posted June 28, 2010 It is "required" as stated by Carnival, but many average Joe's ignore that, and are usually seated without incident. Which is why people will continue to ignore it - because Carnival does not want to piss people off... never mind that those who abide by the dress code might feel a bit "confused" by such disregard. There was one formal night (yes, back when it was called formal) that a gentleman was seated at the table next to us with short sleeves and blue jeans. They did bring a jacket to put on the back of his chair... :rolleyes: Yeeha! Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeafl Posted June 28, 2010 #19 Share Posted June 28, 2010 We went a little over a week ago on the Liberty, on what was the second elegant night. They put a reminder card in your room with the date and time of your reservation, and on it it clearly stated that jackets are required. However, when we were there, we saw one or two men with those Tommy Bahama-like short sleeve button down shirts and no jackets. For the most part, a majority of the men wore jackets though.
