How's the dress code compared to other cruise lines?

[pampaul]

We've only been on 5 cruises so far with our 6th being this June. We've sailed...

 

NCL---twice (Jewel & Dawn)

Carnival---once (Miracle)

RCL---once (Monarch of the Seas)

Disney---once (Magic)

 

And will be on the new Disney Fantasy this June.

 

We've never been on HAL, but are thinking of doing a 7night Bermuda cruise this August. I am one that does not wear dresses or gowns. Every formal night I have been to, I have worn black dress pants along with a nice top. Would I be out of place on HAL?

You will be O.K. with that Not many long gowns are worn these days.Lots of long skirts,dress slacks and cocktail dresses.

I would say that out of the mainstream cruiselines HAL is one of the more formal, but with what you described you will be fine. I have actually just stopped bringing long gowns in favour of black pants and interchanging tops and scarves for formal and everyday dining on board.

 

Enjoy:)

That's what I wear on formal nights as well.

It sounds like the outfits that my wife generally for formal nights. You will fit right in.

Great to know. Thanks so much!!!

Not as formal as Cunard and not as casual as NCL or Carnival.

Nope. You'll fit right in. On Formal nights I wear a sequin top with black palazzo slacks while hubby wears a tux. I've never felt out of place.

HAL provides reasonable dining venues for those who wish to remain in casual attire. You should have no issues with HAL's dress code.

You will be just fine.
