Main dining room

[leggettsally]

I'm wondering about clothing for MDR just on reg nights, are men allowed to wear jean shorts ( not cutoffs or holey) just nice jean shorts and a polo shirt ,and sandals,or nice flip flops? Hubby doesn't want to wear jeans or dress pants and dress shoes or tennis shoes just go to dinner,

Why not buy him a pair of khaki shorts? A simple fix.

There are options other than the MDR. Let him wear what is comfortable for him. He is also on vacation!

No jean shorts. They must be dress shorts.

[Herfnerd]

Dress/Bermuda shorts don't have to be khaki brown or tan in color - they make them in all colors and patterns, including blue.

 

His flip flops, even nice leather ones, may be an issue, though.......

Shorts worn on cruise casual nights has more to do with the length than the material. Also though sandals are allowed for either gender, flip-flops are not and the reason is because of the "trock-trock" sound most flip-flops make.

Also each Maitre 'D will have their own interpretation of the dress code. Your best bet is to ask about it during the open Q&A session for the MDR on embarkation day.

True, but then again, the rules state no "cut-off" jeans - just wonder if the ma?tre 'd and others that greet you at the MDR door might just see jean shorts and assume.......

didn't know anyone still wore jean shorts, they are so 80's

I'm not suggesting you try this but just letting you know that not all ships follow the standards the same way.

 

We were on the Breeze a couple weeks ago and on the second ELEGANT night this is what the man sitting at the table next to us was wearing:

 

Baseball cap, T-Shirt, camouflaged shorts and flip flops.

There's nothing difficult about slipping on a pair of dockers.....or even, jeans! (Although, I think jeans are too warm for summer weather)...but, if he wears shorts...I doubt he'll be turned away.

But...do get him a pair of "deck shoes"...they are slip-ons, sort of like casual loafers...no socks needed...and that would be MUCH nicer than flip flops!

Lol , ya some people are old school, so he just prefers the carpenter or cargo style jean shorts, they still look OK with a nice tshirt or polo, He not a 20-30 yr old ,so he doesn't like them sports like basketball shorts, :)

Ya he never go like that ,but would wear NICE jean shorts that are black or dark blue that are cargo style and nice polo, We are skipping elegant night as I don't want to get all dressed up for it, I'm more of a shorts and Capri person who likes to be comfortable, and I know all dressed up I would feel uncomfortable and not enjoy dinner,:) But I will wear nice Capri and shirts for causel dinners,:)

As others have mentioned, shorts do come in the colors of the rainbow, not just brown, tan and khaki. Also, they are much more lenient on night one in the MDR, so if DH has a pair of shorts that might be on the line or edge of acceptability, that would be the night for him to wear them. They let things go the first night because people have the excuse of their bags possibly not having been delivered to their cabin before dinner.
