Formal Night Attire

[BekkaW]

It is obvious things have changed. After 25 years of cruising many times on formal nights the waiters or matre de would say something to these "underdressed" people on formal nights to remind them there is a dress code; even though it is never enforced; at least no tee shirts what is the point of "formal" night.

 

But formal is not a dress code, it is a suggestion. The actual dress code is no shorts, no sleeveless shirts, no flip flop shoes...they seem to have difficulty enforcing that! So I don't think you'll have any luck with them enforcing a suggestion :(

If you were the couple that donated the Vikings water bottle thank you again. I used it already; worked well. Thanks again to the person the put together the cabin crawl. I got to see the cabins we could never afford.

 

Not to hijack the thread but....we're your cabin crawl organizers. The Vikings water bottle was from Grace & Chris.:)
