Hi ladies! I'm finally posting after getting back from my Mariner cruise. Here is a link to a picture of me wearing my formal that was too tight after getting it altered. Remember that thread? It actually fit ok and when I lose the extra 10 lbs I'm carrying around, I should be able to wear it next cruise with no problems.

 

Shelia in Formal

 

We had a fabulous cruise! We met some wonderful people that made our week even more fun.

 

BTW, I was so irritated at some people and the way they dressed in the dining room. icon_mad.gif How hard is it to follow the rules? On smart casual night, there were men dressed in shorts, flip-flops & T-shirts hanging out of their shorts. Nobody from Royal Caribbean said a word to them. However, I was right behind them waiting for the doors to the dining room to open and I made a point of telling my husband loudly that some people couldn't follow the dress rules.

 

We also got to dine at the Captain's Table with the Staff Captain. That was very cool and a lot of fun!

and thanks for not being scared to say something to the folks in flip flops and shorts in the dining room... i guess they could have lost their luggage though... but how often does that really happen?

Sometimes I wish the cruise lines will enforce a dress code for the dining room. But that wont happen since they are afraid they may lose customers.

 

Shiela your picture is great. Wish I looked like that in a dress like that.

Thank you for the compliments. Both of you are very sweet.

 

sgtmonz, I am 39, but thanks for thinking I'm 10 years younger! icon_biggrin.gif The people could've actually lost their luggage, but I doubt it. I saw many people dressed this way at dinner. I just happened to be close enough to them to say something. I didn't mention earlier that the women they were with were all dressed appropriately.

 

serene56, I understand the way the cruiselines are thinking...don't want to lose a customer. However, if they make rules, they should stick to them. If they decide to let everybody dress any way they want, why not change the rules?

Shelia, with your moniker I thought you might have looked something like this.

LOL! You look great! Didn't you LOVE the Mariner? I think we are repeating next January. I really didn't see that many bad dressers on our Jan cruise. It was an older and more refined crowd, IMO. I have seen it on other ships, though, especially short cruises. I think some people just don't care. I saw one man refused entrance to the dining room with a backwards Nascar cap. His group was, uh, really colorful!

Sheila, Your dress is beautiful. You look great. You do not look your age. You look much younger.

 

When I was on the Victory on Spring Break a lot of people were not dressed up for formal night. There were only about 10 of us dressed up. I was the one that felt out of place. A lot of women were wearing summer dresses that you would wear to get off in port.

I think its nice to dress up. Thats what I like about cruising. you get to wear those dresses that just sit in your wardrobe. Even on casual nights I dress up and so did most ladies and men on my Golden Princess Med cruise last summer.

you did look lovely in your photos by the way.

I agree, you look fantabulous, and that is the way you should look on a cruise! I get to dress up about once a month now, since I joined the Red Hat Society! I still wear a pink hat for 2 more years (until I'm 50) but that gives me something to look forward to! Honestly, it feels like playing dress up! The tackier the better! We love it. I am a member or the "Bodiacious Blackstone Babes" and we have so much fun! If you are not a member of a red hat society, I would strongly suggest that you join, or start your own. There are currently 25,000 chapters, both here and abroad. Go to redhatsociety.com and check it out!

You all have me blushing. Thanks for the wonderful comments. I like to dress up also and never get to do it except on a cruise. I actually only own about 2-3 regular dresses. (I go to contemporary church services so we dress casual.) I usually have to buy a dress or suit for funerals & weddings. icon_rolleyes.gif

 

Nugsmom, that sounds like soooo much fun! I've heard of the Red Hat Society.
