MMJJCREW Posted August 8, 2011 #1 Share Posted August 8, 2011 We are sailing on the Freedom & I'm wondering how dressy my sons need to get for dinner in the MDR? They are 14 & 11. Can they wear golf shorts & polo shirts on casual nights with sneakers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papilliontraveler Posted August 8, 2011 #3 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Will be more than adequate. You will see many adults dressed in more casual attire than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unionville3 Posted August 8, 2011 #4 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Just off the Dream with an 11 year old son - we did not even pack long pants because he usually does not join us for dinner. He went to the dining room with us on 3 different nights wearing khaki shorts, a polo shirt, and flip flops. Worked well for our family on the informal nights. We did witness the staff ask a older teenager that showed up on formal night in shorts to change into pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted August 8, 2011 #5 Share Posted August 8, 2011 If your kids have black sneakers they can even wear them for CE night. One less thing to pack:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneakers and polos work, but best to have khaki pants or other pants versusu shorts for the elegant nights. golf shorts and even cargos, but not cut-offs, will work on all other nights.

Rare LittleMissMagic Posted August 8, 2011 #8 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Yep, shorts are just fine for casual night on Carnival. Tennis shoes will work, but like someone else said, black tennis shoes seem to have a more formal look. Of course, I don't see many guys in white tennis shoes, nowadays, anyway. Have fun on your cruise! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spcopps Posted August 8, 2011 #9 Share Posted August 8, 2011 My 3 year old sons will be wearing shorts/polo with brown boat shoes and my 7b year old DD will be wearing dress short sets on casual nights with nice sandals. On formal night my DD will wear her pageant dresses and my boys have a blue/white leisure suit with tie for one night and dark suits with vest and tie for the other night. My kids all like to "dress up" a bit for dinner so it's fun for them. I think what you have described for casual night will be just fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allison024 Posted August 8, 2011 #10 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I am fully planning on my 13 year old son to be wearing nice shorts, polo shirt and "nice" flip flops (ie leather, not plastic) for all casual dinners. My 9 year old daughter will wear dresses, but only because she likes them and has a ton of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
