outerbks Posted January 11, 2013 #26 Share Posted January 11, 2013 From Carnival FAQ: What to wear? Casual attire is the order of the day. We suggest shorts, sundresses, tank tops, etc. for the ladies, and for men; shorts, polo shirts, T-shirts, etc. will do. We suggest you wear rubber-soled, low heeled or flat shoes for extra traction while onboard. The use of any footwear with wheels, including but not limited, to Heelys© shoes, is prohibited on board our ships. For dining you may want to dress up a bit and/or bring along a light sports jacket or cardigan. Not permitted in the dining room during the Cruise Casual dinner for ladies and gentlemen: shorts, gym shorts, basketball shorts, beach flip-flops, bathing suit attire, cut-off jeans, sleeveless shirts for men and baseball hats.

Star24K Posted January 11, 2013 #27 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I wear slacks twice to dinner along with a fresh shirt. My DW does mix and match with one color scheme to cut down on shoes. Dress in a way that make you feel good and don’t worry about anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warm Breezes Posted January 11, 2013 #29 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Aside from the elegant night, what do guests generally wear the other nights in the MDR? We were planning on business casual - slacks/button down/polo and dresses the other nights. Will we be over/under dressed, or just right? I wear capris/sundresses. DH and DS(18) wear either jeans or cargo shorts with a polo or button down. DD(16) wears skirts/dresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warm Breezes Posted January 11, 2013 #30 Share Posted January 11, 2013 HAHA LukeDuke - that's awesome... On formal night, should my hubs bring his suit jacket, or just a tie? DH stopped packing a suit jacket about 4 years ago. It's just a tie for him....DS doesn't even do the tie, just a button downed dress shirt for him.

cparkerkite Posted January 11, 2013 #31 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Sure! I pack with mix and match in mind and always wear at least one thing-top and pants- twice. Trust me no one will notice. Fabulous! Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So.... are shorts okay or not okay on Casual nights? It sounds like many people here are wearing shorts in the MDR on non-Formal nights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tem0627 Posted January 12, 2013 Author #35 Share Posted January 12, 2013 What about irons? Just saw we are not allowed to bring them on board. Are there some available in each cabin or floor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbay-eh Posted January 12, 2013 #36 Share Posted January 12, 2013 What about irons? Just saw we are not allowed to bring them on board. Are there some available in each cabin or floor? Yes - but always check the bottom first just in case previous person burnt something. I take a damp face cloth and just give the bottom a quick wipe while it warm just to make sure.

I'm thinking at least pants and a shirt, if people are taking issue with shorts and ballcaps. Imagine their surprise if your hubs just wears a tie ;) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoogefan98 Posted February 9, 2013 #42 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I know from reading thru all of the wonderful posts that there is a specific dress code for dinner (both casual and formal), but what is the MDR dress code for breakfast ? Would a t-shirt and khaki shorts be acceptable ? We're taking our first cruise on the Paradise in 2 weeks, so we're still cruise virgins .....

rhinomike Posted March 22, 2013 #45 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I am a platinum cruiser. Been on over 20 cruises. We hate dressing up but our favorite part of the cruise is the MDR with the family. My first cruise I did the tie and jacket thing. Hated it. All the rest of my cruises I wear nice shorts, nice flip flops and a nice T shirt. I am never the most underdressed person. I am usually right in the middle. For formal night I wear a nice pair of jeans, nice sneakers and a polo shirt. I have won a nice T Shirt too but normally do the Polo Shirt. That night I am usually at the bottom end. I have seen people in khaki shorts. But I am on vacation and I want to be comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skoi13 Posted March 23, 2013 #50 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Guilty. Back in the day everyone looked sharp in their dress whites. I looked like Pigpen:(. Sounds like my Middie daughter.:D We dress up for elegant night (well, we did on the one CCL cruise we did, and always did on DCL), and other nights the males where khakis, button down shirts or polos, the females skirt and tops or casual dresses. Except for our youngest dd who wears the fanciest dresses she has, including her knock off Disney princess dresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
