Take This for What It's Worth

[Cape Cod KPB]

Can anyone tell me if on formal nights you can't go to the theatre unless you are in formal wear? I saw this on Celebrity's Facebook page and it won't be a problem just wondering if it is true as we are take our first Celebrity cruise later this year.

There is a report and thread that the policy became very restrictive on one sailing.

 

The situation is in flux...

I'll be on that ship in 11 days, I don't think though there is a change of policy.

I think this is the thread that you're talking about:

And the way I read what that OP wrote, I don't think that there was any change in policy for the theatre. If you read what that OP actually wrote, the cruise director on the Summit said that no one in shorts and tshirts would be allowed in the MDR or theatre on formal nights. Well, if you read the policy on the web, no one should be allowed in the MDR or theatre in shorts and a tshirt on ANY night. They don't meet the definition of smart casual. So, to me, that's not more restrictive. To me, it might have been less restrictive as it implies that attire would be permitted on non formal nights.
