pacheco18 Posted July 23, 2011 #2 Share Posted July 23, 2011 No. A handful of men wear jackets either to the specialty restaurants or the Captain's party but they are in the minority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted July 23, 2011 #3 Share Posted July 23, 2011 You definitely do NOT need a jacket at any time in any place on an Oceania ship, one of its great benefits. Those who choose to wear them certainly may. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CintiPam Posted July 23, 2011 #4 Share Posted July 23, 2011 No; spouse brought his jacket on our first Oceania cruise in 2008, but it did not make it along in 2009, 2010 or 2011. That being said, whether it was the average age increase onboard, the plethora of college alumni groups on board or the more northern itinerary, there was a huge upswing in jackets at dinner, even in the GDR, on our Baltic cruise last month on Marina versus our previous three Mediterranean cruises. I would say about 1/3 of the male diners wore jackets to dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonid Posted July 23, 2011 #5 Share Posted July 23, 2011 DW & I have done 5 O sailings...6th is next month to Alaska. Never, ever have I brought a jacket...never felt I needed one. Men only need to wear a nice pair of slacks and a golf shirt. That does it for me. Enjoy your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billie5 Posted July 25, 2011 #6 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Of course, if it is a Baltic cruise, you might want to leave the golf shirt and go with long sleeves. Today in Copenhagen the high was 64 F with light rain.:) Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today in Copenhagen the high was 64 F with light rain.:)Bill Certainly long sleeve dress shirts were the norm for men to wear to dinner on all of our Oceania cruises, not just our Baltic cruise; golf shirts definitely are a minority choice. But the nice thing about the Oceania dress code is how much diversity in what people wear to dinner is permitted happily for us all! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MesaJandC Posted July 25, 2011 #8 Share Posted July 25, 2011 We just returned from Route of the Vikings on Marina. I would say about 40% of the men work jackets into the speciality restaurants, fewer in the Grand Dining Room. Go with what you feel most comfortable in. For dinner most men were wearing long-sleeved shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shedridt Posted July 25, 2011 #9 Share Posted July 25, 2011 My husband wears a jacket because he is cold natured - not in the least formal! While I am glad he does wear a jacket it's cold comfort as he's NOT doing it to be fashionable.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnld Posted July 25, 2011 #10 Share Posted July 25, 2011 We just returned from Route of the Vikings on Marina.

For dinner most men were wearing long-sleeved shirts. This echoes our experience on our recent Buenos Aires - Barcelona crossing on the Insignia. Most men wore jackets in the specialty restaurants, a few in the GDR; a tie was a rarity. When not wearing a jacket, most wore a nice long-sleeve or short-sleeve shirt (weather was pleasantly warm) -- a few polo shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
