;) you beat me to the answer. lol

 

but seriously, for the OP, the only place for dinner that 'shorts' would be ok would be the buffet, or room service. any other location, please have a little respect for yourself and your cruise mates and put pants on for dinner.

Shorts are acceptable everywhere except LeBistro and the aft MDR according to NCL's FAQ page

i'm sorry that you had to confuse a request for information as an opportunity to be sarcastic. Surely you could have simply indicated the dress code and kept your snippy comments to yourself. Thanks for nothing

I suspect we are perhaps dealing with a little British humor? Pants vs trousers?

I thought it was funny. It was certainly nothing to be upset about.

I don't think there was any problem with the first reply, which was clearly a joke.

 

The second reply however was factually incorrect. It seems to have been more about the writers opinion on people who wear shorts to the restaurants, rather than answering the question.

OP, you have to understand you have American/ US posters who response along with UK posters and to American / US users, pants = trousers, while pants is underwear / Undergarments to UK. But to American / US, underwear is underwear / undergarments, not pants to UK posters.

 

So all of the answers regarding pants are correct; they weren't joking that much, the other posters were telling you the truth. Sorry you got offended, OP, but you have to understand that Cruise Critic is use by different nationalities, so what one word means in one part of the world is completely different in another.

Okay ... LONG pants are required for Manhattan and Le Bistro on the Breakaway. ;)

 

However, on BA cruises to Bermuda, Bermuda shorts on men are permitted as long as they wear long socks (knee high) ...

Just off the Breakaway - men can wear shorts in Taste and Savor, but they need long pants for the Manhattan dining room. The only restaurant we ate in was Moderno and all the men in our group had slacks on that night, so I don't know if that was just coincidental, or required.

But they did on occasion wear dress shorts with a polo shirt to Taste and it wasn't a problem. I did see men denied entry to the Manhattan room who were wearing shorts.

The answer given in post 3 has nothing to do with interpretations of what pants are. That post says "the only place for dinner that 'shorts' would be ok would be the buffet".

 

That statement is absolutely incorrect.

Shorts are allowed in Moderno. The only speciality restaurant where they aren't allowed in Le Bistro.

 

You don't tend to see shorts in the speciality restaurants very often, but they are allowed.

[david_sobe]

You guys forgot to hit the British translation button.

Translation:

You have to wear bloody pants to the bloody Le Bistro and one bloody main dining room in the evening.

My son was allowed to wear shorts in Manhattan Room for dinner while we were docked in Bermuda.

You cannot wear shorts in LeBistro, Ocean Blue, or the Manhattan dining room. If you attend the Chef's tasting, it's also recommended that you dress a little more formally (but we wore nice shorts and were fine).

[LazyDays64]

We saw shorts in the Manhattan Room and also t-shirts (teenagers). I would say 99% of the men wore pants.

 

I did see one man with a sleeveless shirt on going into either Savor or Taste and he was asked to put a shirt on with sleeves.

I have never been to Ocean Blue, but it doesn't seem to be mentioned on the web site as one of the restaurants which don't allow shorts. Where does it say you can't wear them?

It's posted in the dailies and I know I saw it somewhere on one of NCL's pages...

 

We're just off the ship two weeks ago, and it's enforced -- pic posted by someone else in the forum

Thanks for that. It's useful to know.

 

I wish NCL would update their FAQ's though.

I agree, my first thought when I read the title was men running around in their underwear. Let's all have a little thicker skin.
