NauticalNanna Posted September 24, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Started packing for upcoming cruise. Wanted to know if most people change their "dinner outfits" afterwards to more informal clothes for the shows, and evening festivities. Or if most people change into more comfortable, casual clothing after dinner. Appreciate knowing what the norm is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taglovestocruise Posted September 25, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Always have late dining and only change on formal night. Out of my suit by 10:30 and off to the Schooner Bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breezy270 Posted September 25, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I was just on Allure and most like myself kept their dinner attire on for shows and activities... between dinner and the shows there isn't much time to really change Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what the "norm" is, but sometimes we change after dinner and sometimes we don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted September 25, 2017 #5 Share Posted September 25, 2017 We don't change....when I make the effort to look stunning, I'm gonna work it all night! So many folks make no effort at all...so do what you want to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgm0612 Posted September 25, 2017 #6 Share Posted September 25, 2017 We dress for the late seating and head back to the cabin to change into comfortable clothing & flip flops afterwards. Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
descotes Posted September 25, 2017 #7 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I found on past cruises people stay in their "nice" attire for the night. I run back to the room to get comfy as soon as I am done with dinner. Depends on your comfort. I don't like dressing up at all.

kalliekae Posted September 26, 2017 #8 Share Posted September 26, 2017 We usually stay dressed for the evening, but on our upcoming Allure cruise, we will change. On the the first formal night, we are booked for the OceanAria show and I don't want to sit on those chairs in the Aqua Theater in my formal clothes.

Big_G Posted September 26, 2017 #9 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I like getting a lot of mileage out of my rented tux so we almost always stay in formal attire for the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NauticalNanna Posted September 26, 2017 Author #10 Share Posted September 26, 2017 So interesting to read the different perspectives of people. Very much appreciated all view points. For me, what I've learned is that all forms of dress are acceptable and that there is no "norm" to speak of. In which case I will hastily dispose of the heels and spanks on formal nights and go for the comfort clothes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rala Posted September 26, 2017 #11 Share Posted September 26, 2017 DH almost always changes to something he considers more comfortable. Although for him anything more than a t-shirt and shorts or jeans is uncomfortable! LOL! It depends what I am wearing for dinner whether I change or not...usually not except if I am wearing heels. Those definitely are gone after dinner! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmurray847 Posted September 26, 2017 #12 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Many different perspectives. And I have no ONE answer either. Sometimes, if the show is coming up soon (or if we do early show/followed by dinner) we stay dressed for both events. It's nice to go to the theatre "dressed up" too. But if we're going to do more informal events like The Quest or a game show, or just hang out at a bar...we're likely to go get a bit more comfortable. But not until we pose for some photos (which we almost never buy, but it's fun to take the pictures). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Milhouse Posted September 26, 2017 #13 Share Posted September 26, 2017 We just got off Allure last week. Most nights we had dinner fairly early and changed clothes depending on how much time we had until the next event or show but usually swapped out to something casual by the end of the night. It was also pretty humid in the outside areas. Mama Mia is also a very long 2 hours with intermission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
