we2lovetocruise Posted February 14, 2011 #1 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I see you can wear jeans to dinner now on NCL can men wear nice shorts and polo shirt in the main dining room or only at the buffets? Shorts are worn in our area at nice restaurants so was just wondering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njhorseman Posted February 14, 2011 #2 Share Posted February 14, 2011 The rules can vary from ship to ship, but on our most recent cruise (Jewel, mid December) shorts were allowed in all restaurants except Tsar's Palace (the larger MDR) and LeBistro.

jdvmd Posted February 14, 2011 #3 Share Posted February 14, 2011 What ship are you on? We can answer the question better if we knew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patseacruiser Posted February 14, 2011 #4 Share Posted February 14, 2011 And on the Epic the only place not allowing shorts was Manhattan Room. I went to Moderno to make a reservation and said I just have to run upstairs and get out of my shorts and they said no the only place I couldn't wear them was in Manhattan Room. I felt odd in my shorts there but it didn't seem to be a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorts are worn in our area at nice restaurants so was just wondering?. On our last year's NCL Dawn 12 day cruise to the Southern Caribbean from NYC, several people(both genders) were dressed in shorts in all dining venue's. I didn't see any jean cut-off or beach type in MDRs but those who wore shorts had quality dressy type with an appropriate shirt, no tank tops etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdvmd Posted February 14, 2011 #7 Share Posted February 14, 2011 That's my understanding also re: the Epic/Manhattan/LeBistro. I am sure there are some who will say that they have seen shorts in LeBistro. I never have and have only seen well-dressed individuals. Cannot comment on Taste/Manhattan.

patseacruiser Posted February 14, 2011 #8 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I didn't eat in Le Bistro but all I can say is what the host told me. Maybe I didn't hear Le Bistro. I have eaten is Le Bistro on the Jewel and know I wouldn't even feel comfortable eating in there in shorts so it probably does include Le Bistro but all my mind heard was Manhattan Room.

caribsun Posted February 14, 2011 #9 Share Posted February 14, 2011 It's okay on the Spirit in both MDR's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmexicoNita Posted February 14, 2011 #10 Share Posted February 14, 2011 it does depend on the ship, but I think most now are allowing nice shorts. The unfortunate thing is, many do not know the difference between shorts and nice shorts and who is going to play dress police. I have read 2 recent reviews (other lines) one Princess and one RCI, the biggest gripe, people coming to the dining rooms dressed in cargo shorts etc. Nita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
