valandemmy Posted September 6, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Is there a dress code for the dining room? Depending on the length of the cruise, either formal dress or casual resort wear is required in the Dining Room. The dress requirement for children is the same. For those not wanting to dress up, the Lido restaurants are open nightly (with the exception of the last evening of the cruise), and have a casual dress code. However, shirts and shoes/footwear (flip-flops) must be worn at all times inside the Lido restaurants. Cruise Casual Dining Dress Code: Gentlemen - Sport slacks, khakis, jeans (no cut-offs), dress shorts (long), collared sport shirts; Ladies - Casual dresses, casual skirts or pants and blouses, summer dresses, Capri pants, dress shorts, jeans (no cut-offs). Not permitted in the dining room during the Cruise Casual dinner for ladies and gentlemen: gym shorts, basketball shorts, beach flip-flops, bathing suit attire, cut-off jeans, sleeveless shirts for men and baseball hats. Cruise Elegant Dining Dress Code: Gentlemen - Dress slacks, dress shirts. We also suggest a sport coat. If you wish to wear suits and ties or tuxedos, by all means we invite you to do so. Ladies - Cocktail dresses, pantsuits, elegant skirts and blouses; if you‘d like to show off your evening gowns, that's great too! Not permitted in the dining room during the Cruise Elegant dinner for ladies and gentlemen: shorts, T-shirts, beach flip-flops, bathing suit attire, jeans, cut-off jeans, sleeveless shirts for men, sportswear, and baseball hats.

TEXSUN46 Posted September 7, 2014 #5 Share Posted September 7, 2014 As for us, we are on vacation and don't care to pack "formal wear", so we just skip MDR on elegant night. The MDR is not the only place to eat, and though we don't want to bother with getting dressed up, I will let those that do have their night. Some people in their daily lives don't get to eat out in elegant/formal atmosphere often and want to have their Titanic movie moment. If you don't want to bring anything other than tee shirts, I for one am with you, but why not let those that do want to dress up have their night.

T. Advisor King Posted September 7, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) The dress code is vague at best and contradictory at worst. This is by design to give the staff the flexibility to refuse service in appropriate circumstances. As quoted below, the dress code appears to require "collard sport shirts", like a golf shirt or polo at a minimum. However, the code appears to contradict itself by inference when it lists the things that are not permitted and t-shirts are not on the list of the prohibited items for "casual" nights, but are on the list for elegant nights. If I was interpreting this as legislation, it would be my opinion that the list of prohibited items supersedes the listed (i.e., "permitted") items, which would mean that t-shirts are permitted on non-elegant nights. All that said, if a man were to enter the MDR on elegant night wearing a sport coat over a t-shirt (Miami Vice style), I very much doubt he would be turned away. Edited September 7, 2014 by T.

Hey Tina Posted September 7, 2014 #8 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Yes, but why would anyone want to? Because that's what they brought, are comfortable wearing and it's within the dress code? Like is that a real question? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with you let people wear what they want and are confortable in. My question was not about elegant night but on casual night .

To answer the OP yes as long as it's clean and doesn't have inappropriate sayings on it. Bill If only that were true Bill. On the repositioning cruise onboard the Sunshine (New Orleans to Port Canaveral) we saw a slob in a T-Shirt that read "Fart Machine" on the back of the shirt. This was on a casual night. Beyond classy and I'm sure his wife, who was dressed appropriately, was proud of her slob. Personally, I wear business casual on the non-formal nights and a sport coat with tie on the "Formal" nights. I don't have a problem with t-shirts and shorts on the non-formal nights but think people should wear at least business casual on the formal nights. My earth will continue rotating regardless of what people chose to wear in the MDR but please leave the "fart machine" shirts at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
