Atlantamom3 Posted March 27, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Can someone help me with the guidelines for Men's dress code? I thought in the MDR there was smart casual and formal. What is the difference between smart casual and dress casual? Thanks!;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzgryphon Posted March 27, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 27, 2017 It basically comes down to whatever the man is comfortable with out in public in the evening. About the only enforced rule in the evenings is no shorts and no flip flops (and obviously you can't go shirt less). Outside from that I've seen men wearing khakis or jeans or dockers or formal pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3CatsInMA Posted March 27, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Check out the link above, looks like RC has given up on the no shorts thing. And the no tank tops thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dplusd Posted March 27, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Check out the link above, looks like RC has given up on the no shorts thing. Direct from Royal...shorts are now included in suggested attire on casual nights.:D Casual: You’re on vacation – relax! Jeans, shorts, tees, tank tops, polos, sundresses and blouses are all the right amount of laid back. Please keep swimwear to the Pool Deck.

CCC3 Posted March 27, 2017 #10 Share Posted March 27, 2017 So...this pretty much ought to eliminate the discussion on here about jeans & shorts...right? [emoji15] Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BekkaW Posted March 27, 2017 #11 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Interesting...the no shorts rule was definitely in place on Voyager 2 weeks ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, this is Cruise Critic. Plus, it appears there still is a no shorts preference for formal night, so there is still something for people to whine about.

Mrsdigi Posted March 27, 2017 #13 Share Posted March 27, 2017 We're on Allure this Sunday-how many days of each type of evening do they have? I know 2 formal but not sure if the rest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LMaxwell Posted March 27, 2017 #17 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Great update. Glad Royal is catering to what people want. We all know there is always going to be that schmuck in a tuxedo t-shirt and gym shorts, nothing you can do about them so not worth it to penalize the other thousands of people.

slyster Posted March 27, 2017 #18 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Usually just the first night of a cruise is casual, correct? They don't add other casual dinners to an itinerary do they? I would assume standard for a 7 night cruise would be one casual (first night), 2 formal, and 4 smart casual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted March 27, 2017 #19 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Check out the link above, looks like RC has given up on the no shorts thing. That is a big change from previous wording. Personally, I wish they would still discourage tank tops. Not that I really care how anyone else looks but I do think they present some issues with being unsanitary in a food venue.

I wonder if they use it on longer sailings?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a seven night cruise usually there are two formal nights, one smart casual (if they have one at all), and the rest are casual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slyster Posted March 27, 2017 #24 Share Posted March 27, 2017 LOL! I needed that laugh! Wow...well, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised with the way things have been going. I preferred the smart casual. I never liked formal night, but I just never went. Does this mean specialty restaurants are now casual too? I think I'm still going to stick to my smart casual attire. Just doesn't feel right. We'll see if I stick out like a sore thumb though LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think any wording is unlikely to be relevant as long as they don't enforce what they ask for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
