Mildred Posted March 30, 2018 #101 Share Posted March 30, 2018 To be fair, the above photo is a daytime concert in a casual location. I wouldn't expect the same should the venue be an opera house. After dark the above location would certainly be chilly. Honestly, the person in the knitted cap is on his mobile device, which I find more disturbing. It is not as if there is nothing better to look at, hear, or enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not kosher Are you certain that nobody else was there in Kilts or cocktail dresses? Besides, the absurd post was making generalizations - something like dress like a slob and you will be treated like one. So, no, I don't see a problem with leaving off the kilts and cocktail dresses.

Rala Posted March 30, 2018 #105 Share Posted March 30, 2018 And “cute” which is my all-time favorite. LOL! Although, I'm not sure I would want to see a guy in "cute" sweat pants. Now his wife..."cute" would definitely be required! ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topnole Posted March 30, 2018 #106 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Have you looked at old photos of baseball games? For decades men wore suits to baseball games. The world didn't end when heathens started dressing casually for entertainment and relaxation. The idea that a certain style of clothing represents a "best face" is a bit of snobbery. Live and let live. You can't judge people by the clothes they wear. And the us golf open? They used to wear 3 piece suits when playing. Oh these current pga pros. How dare they insult us with their collared shirts and dress slacks. And the fans? Clearly a group of Walmart shoppers for not dressing up to watch golf. Oh the humanity.

My wife would’ve bolted after date number one if I wore sweats to dinner. I don’t care what others wear but I sure know that women tend to care what guys wear.

sunshinelover59 Posted March 31, 2018 #121 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Can my husband wear sweat pants in the MDR the first night and every night for that matter on Empress of the Seas? Sailing April 14-18 to Nassau and Key West.No. Dine in the Windjammer which is for that type of apparel.

Regardless of what the "politically correct" say. Especially employers. Yup! Exactly right. I suggest anyone dining in the MDR with a potential employer wear dress pants. Now, the question is... do you care what a couple hundred strangers that you'll more than likely never see again think of you? Answer that question and you'll know what you should wear.

Alter Ego Posted March 31, 2018 #123 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Can my husband wear sweat pants in the MDR the first night and every night for that matter on Empress of the Seas? Sailing April 14-18 to Nassau and Key West. Unless something has changed, Empress of the Seas has no formal nights. They are casual each night - that IS Royal’s suggestion for attire. So, as long as the sweat pants are clean, I cannot foresee any reason why they would turn you away. Of course, I'm of the opinion that, if someone cares enough to ask, they are likely not going to be going in with ripped, dirty clothing! I will say that people did dress up at Chops and Chef’s Table (men in jackets, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteukmcr Posted March 31, 2018 #124 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Suggesting you can’t go to the mdr in casual clothes if the cruise loses your luggage is ridiculous. You have no idea how hard or easy it is for a given person to find clothes on the ship. My opinion still stands, your prior post is ridiculous. They would be welcome at my table (and I’m sure almost everyone but you) on formal night in their shorts or whatever after what they went through. I too wouldn’t want to sail with someone with such an attitude. Well thanks for your confirmation of not being welcome at ‘your” table, no problem to us as we dine at a table for 2 and on our upcoming sailing won’t be dining in the mdr to upset you either.
