Salacia Posted March 24, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Prior to the recent change in dress code, we often used these abbreviations: F for Formal, SF for Semi-Formal and EC for Elegant Casual. Under the current code, there is Formal and Informal, and some rare nights where jackets for men are not required. (Apparently, there is also a category for those who choose to dress casually and opt to dine in Kings Court, but I'm not clear on that dress code.) So now we have F and IF nights. What abbreviation should we use for those nights where no jacket is required? Or does it even matter anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rafinmd Posted March 24, 2013 #2 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Pure speculation, but we had one such night on my 2010 QV WC segment and it was called Caribbean Casual. Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby1119 Posted March 24, 2013 #3 Share Posted March 24, 2013 On the QE2 world cruise, out of the entire 108 nights, we had only few nights when jackets were not required. I think these evenings were designated "Casual." This code mainly applied when there were deck parties and BBQ's. Everything else was mostly formal or informal (jacket & tie required). Post 6pm departures and overnights were all elegant casual (jacket, no tie). Somehow QE2 always made more sense with the dress code, IMHO. I never saw the lettered codes referenced by Salacia (F, SF, EC) on QE2 and don't recall seeing them on Queen Mary 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scifisteve Posted March 24, 2013 #4 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Well if F is Formal and there is no Jacket hence no Formal how about F Off :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I wasn't clear: those abbreviations were often used on this forum - not that they were used on the ship as a reference for the dress code. Regards, -S.
