However, you've posted this on the Norwegian Cruise Line forum. You'll get more direct feedback/answers if you post this on the Royal Caribbean Line forum. And ENJOY that first cruise!

I don't think that is a term most Americans are familiar with? If a waistcoat is what we call a vest, then it is not formal enough most likely. Personally, from what I have seen on RC in the Caribbean, a jacket or blazer with tie would be acceptable on formal night. A few men will wear a tuxedo.

A waistcoat is what you call a vest and a vest is what we call a male or female torso covering undergarment. We also call pants trousers as pants are what you wear under your trousers. So to clarify in the UK a vest and pants are a set of undergarments which one would wear trousers, shirt and waistcoat over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our friends from the UK laughed out loud, then took closeup pictures of themselves with the menu from the seafood restaurant with the special that night: "Steamers!" Evidently where they are from "steamers" are not steamed clams! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
