Cunard is still holding up pretty well, but the "Onslows" are making some headway there as well. Cunard is STILL our favorite line by far!

Onslows. LOL. :D

 

Isn't there a sign somewhere saying bathing suits without cover ups and bare feet are not allowed in the buffet?

Thanks Everybody

 

So it is jeans & polo top breakfast and lunch, trackie & t-shirt walking round the ship and maybe breakfast, trousers & shirt for dinner and suit for formal nights.

 

It's quite casual for breakfast and lunch.

 

The only rule that I can discern is...As long as the private parts are mostly covered then you are good to go !

I seem to remember seeing info (Patter, perhaps) to wear a cover up over bathing suits in the Horizon and definitely no dripping wet bathing suits (imagine taking a seat on a wet chair after someone who wasn't considerate).

 

If wearing my bathing suit inside the ship, it's because I'm going from the pool area to my cabin, but usually with at least a tee shirt or beach cover up on.

 

For breakfast and lunch in the MDR, shorts are okay, as is around the ship at night if not eating in the MDR or specialty restaurants (but some people would argue that's not okay, and expect everyone follow the dining room dress code even if not eating there). But hopefully passengers will be a little classier than "wife beaters" and wearing hats (unless there's a medical or other good reason) in the dining room even during the day.

We had the same experience as Griller on Princess last year. It seems like anything goes in the dining room even in formal evenings. We saw basketball jerseys with shorts and adidas sandals. Even baseball caps worn backwards. No dress code enforced in the MDR to speak of.

Never seen anyone like that on Princess' formal nights.

I think I am correct in saying you should not go into buffet or other dining areas clad in just a pair of swimming trunks, you need a top, or for ladies a cover up and I believe footwear. Wearing bathrobes about the ship is frowned upon. Not suggesting OP might try do either btw.

I didn't notice a sign if there was one and of course everyone wears a shirt of some sort plus at least sandals.

Nope! I saw a few people wander into the buffet on Carnival Legend with barefeet and just a towel wrapped over their (sometimes still dripping) swimwear.

Same here (not on formal nights though).

 

I really don't care what other people are wearing but in 30 cruises with Princess I have never seen in the MDR what you are describing on formal evenings or any other night " Basketball jerseys & Baseball caps on backwards " :eek:

We have. I'm with you that I don't care too much (but I do notice) what people are wearing. However, if there is a dress code, ENFORCE IT or do away with it. JMHO of course.

Not on formal nights but on our last cruise we noticed several times the Maitre'D (you know, the one in the suit) escorting guests to their table who were wearing shorts, tank tops/T-shirts and or baseball caps.
