stretchcruz Posted June 8, 2017 #126 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I agree...same comfortable shoes. Except for the folks who were working and had on high heels on the cobblestones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMW Posted June 8, 2017 #127 Share Posted June 8, 2017 We sailed on the Star in November out of San Juan. Let me qualify this by saying I work for myself out of my house...jeans are dressing up for me! I packed for the cruise like all others we have taken, dress pants/khaki's and polo shirts. The first night at Manfredi's I spotted an older dude (we are both "just" 50...older being relative!!) wearing very nice jeans. That was it for me...jeans the rest of the nights except when we ate outdoors where I wore shorts. We are booked for the Carib/Panama Canal 15 Day in November/December and I will not be packing any dress pants. One more plus for Viking in my book!!

luvnps Posted June 9, 2017 #129 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I did notice the shoes and from what I saw they had on the same athletic shoes that we wear here.JiminyC_fan, I have read on websites comments about not wearing jeans or athletic shoes. Then you arrive in that country - France, Austria, Switzerland, Ireland - wherever (even China), and you see the same thing as everywhere else. There are some folks who are dressed for business, there are tourists from within that country and other countries dressed differently - there is no set rule! Have you ever traveled to Miami Beach in winter? European men in capri pants, socks and sandals - whatever - if they are comfortable and enjoying themselves, why concern ourselves? To each his own. BTW, thanks for your helpful threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiminyC_fan Posted June 11, 2017 #130 Share Posted June 11, 2017 luvnps, I totally agree. To each his own. I'm glad you have found some useful things in my posts. I searched and searched before we left and wanted to try and get some more info out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
