Alicomp Posted July 7, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 7, 2015 We will be on an Alaska Connoisseur Land Tour and am wondering about the dress code for dinners on land. I had read that people wear whatever they wore during the day. Is that correct? If so, while we are on land we won't need to bring any clothes that we would have worn to dinner on the ship. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKman2495 Posted July 7, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Alaska is pretty laid back. Whatever you wear on the ship for dinner will be just fine for the tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted July 7, 2015 #3 Share Posted July 7, 2015 It's pretty casual on land. It's more or less what you'd wear to dinner on a smart casual night, including jeans. I'd pack minimal clothing for the land portion and send most on to the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the ship, my 18 year old is packing a suit for formal nights but on the other nights on the ship are jeans and a nice shirt ok? We could save space by not packing khaki's and yet another pair of shoes....:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Kinkacruiser Posted July 7, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) We will be on an Alaska Connoisseur Land Tour and am wondering about the dress code for dinners on land. I had read that people wear whatever they wore during the day. Is that correct? If so, while we are on land we won't need to bring any clothes that we would have worn to dinner on the ship. Thank you. Slacks/jeans and a fresh top would be fine. You're too tired to dress up and nobody looks at what you are wearing. Thumbs up for the Connoisseur tour. We did it in May. Enjoy.

pklein9747 Posted July 7, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Just did the Connoisseur end of May and we wore jeans or whatever we had on during the day. We saw very few people "dressed up". Most people are busy all day and don't have time to change before dinner. We loved the Connoisseur! So nice to order whatever we wanted at meals and not have to worry about the price! And loved our tour director. Jill was amazing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughing husky Posted July 8, 2015 #9 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Alaska gets the vote every year for being the worst dressed state....We love it that way....We even wear bunny boots with our dinner jackets....:) Seriously, the only place in Alaska that you should not wear jeans is in court....and hopefully you won't need to go there...:) Wear what is comfortable for you....

osofish2 Posted July 8, 2015 #10 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Is anyone on the 15 day land/cruise on the Star starting August 21? We've been looking for fellow travelers. We plan on taking very casual clothes, in layers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandboundprincess Posted July 8, 2015 #13 Share Posted July 8, 2015 We are on the Connoisseur tour after our cruise; July 27. On the train to Fairbanks, I read our luggage will be placed at our feet! We will travel with 2 25" suitcases plus 1 carry-on. Is this true? We took the train several years ago and I honestly don't recall what we did with our suitcases. Thanks, Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrak Posted July 8, 2015 #16 Share Posted July 8, 2015 We're doing the connoisseur tour next June. I have no plans to "dress" for dinner on the land portion. Jeans at dinner will suit me just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beg3yrs Posted July 8, 2015 #17 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Anything with a Lumberjack theme would be considered appropriate. Ladies, is this ok (minus the axe)??? If the spirit of full disclosure, this is not me (anymore). :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diane.in.ny Posted July 8, 2015 #20 Share Posted July 8, 2015 We did the tour in May and it was strictly casual. I love the kind of dressing for dinner that means a shower and a clean shirt :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
