Rare sonomaphil Posted November 23, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Heads up for anyone on the CB. Just back yesterday from the 7 night Western Carib and no shorts in the dining room for men is being enforced. We encountered a couple on the elevator, both in shorts, and they said they were turned away. My wife was worried an she had a nice pair of Capri type shorts on. I told here not to worry as I bet it's for men only. We parked at Vines and in a few minutes saw a couple with the man in shorts heading to the dining room. I stealthily followed to see what transpired and sure enough the men were told to put on long pants or head to the buffet. No issues for women as we went right in later in the evening. Not an issue for me as I would always were long pants to the dining room but this may surprise some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moki'smommy Posted November 23, 2015 #3 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Just for my info, is this at dinner only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted November 23, 2015 #4 Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) It's clear in the guidelines. Except for the first night, and a few the last night, we have seen no shorts on men or women. Capris are not shorts. So those definitely are popular on warm weather itineraries. Until all cruise lines have the same guidelines and enforcement ( which is never) there will always be cruisers willing to TRY. They can always claim ignorance, heh?

Rare sonomaphil Posted November 23, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Just for my info' date=' is this at dinner only?[/quote'] Yes, seemed to be no issues at breakfast or lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted November 23, 2015 #6 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Capris are below the knees which makes a difference. :) Feel sure the no shorts thing in the MDR was only for dinner -- not for breakfast & lunch. Except for the first night (due to late luggage), I've never seen people wearing shorts to the MDR for dinner on any Princess ships we've taken.

eandj Posted November 23, 2015 #9 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Just for my info' date=' is this at dinner only?[/quote'] Breakfast and lunch allows shorts. In fact at lunch you'll see a handful show up in swim suits with cover up dresses. I have seen a few men with long swim trunks with tshirts. They haven't been turned away, because I guess they were dry and short like. ( not speedos :eek:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moki'smommy Posted November 23, 2015 #10 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I'm glad to see enforcement. The "here are the rules/guidelines/suggestions, now wear whatever you want" policy on some other lines makes me wonder why they bother with rules.

cb at sea Posted November 23, 2015 #14 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Yes...the "dress code" is just for dinner...shorts are fine at breakfast and lunch. Capris on women are fine for dinner...they are not "shorts", but capris!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuLu Not that I care one way or the other but I'd bet that if a man showed up in the same exact pair of Capri's he would be turned away. The women should be held to the same rules.

Actually, they can't claim ignorance. The dress code is explicitly stated in the Cruise Contract which all who purchase a cruise from Princess agree to. ...VTX-Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelers36 Posted November 23, 2015 #21 Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) The dress "code" and "policy" are actually recommendations. The only "policy" is what they don't allow to be worn. Edited November 23, 2015 by steelers36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
