Lfschaper Posted May 1, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 1, 2018 It’s been two years since our last NCL cruise so I don’t remember what we wore. Last few cruises were HAL so definitely dressy. I do remember feeling a bit overdressed on NCL. But it’s one of the few times I can get my teen son to dress up so...

graceinga Posted May 1, 2018 #2 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Hi - my DH wears golf shorts and a golf shirt. I usually wear a summer dress or skirt and blouse. Certainly more casual than Holland for sure. Hope you have a great time - we leave this Saturday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brookie848 Posted May 1, 2018 #5 Share Posted May 1, 2018 My husband wears shorts unless there is a reason to dress up -- dress code at a restaurant or the Haven captain's reception. I generally wear capris, but will dress up a bit as well for certain occasions (dress or skirt -- nothing too dressy). For us, this is one of the best parts of NCL. My husband wears a tie to work, so he doesn't want to have to dress up on vacation. I don't have any sort of a dress code at work, so I don't have to go out and buy all new outfits for dinner on vacation (although I still do buy a few...but I don't HAVE to :D).

lisajltx Posted May 1, 2018 #6 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Sparkles!! Whether it be a dressy top or dress! Even on casual nights. You can really wear whatever you want, within constraints of the specific cruise line, such as no shorts or tank tops for the dining rooms.

MyTMo777 Posted May 1, 2018 #7 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I usually wear capris or a casual summer skirt & top. DH usually wears shorts and a polo or button up shirt, or jeans with same kind of shirt. If jeans/shorts aren't allowed in the restaurant, then he'll wear khakis - but only if he has too :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandyMommyof2 Posted May 1, 2018 #8 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I love NCL's relaxed dress code. With that being said, we do always dress up with what I would call cruise casual, lol. For myself and my daughters, we wear a lot of Lilly Pulitzer type dresses. For my husband to match us :D:confused: he wears nice dress shorts and polos. It's fun for us to get "dressed up" this way. Hope you have a fabulous cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAL Oosterdam 2013 NCL Dawn 2016 HAL niew Amsterdam 2017 NCL Escape 2018 I think Lilly makes the perfect dresses for cruises! On our last one, someone who clearly had never encountered Lilly Pulitzer before came up to us and ask if I made the dresses....:) The rest of our cruise we had the best laugh talking about our handmade dresses :') Wear all the Lilly you can!!

amyh13 Posted May 2, 2018 #18 Share Posted May 2, 2018 So if the Manhattan dining room on the Epic is considered a little dressier, are short prohibited? Really dressy?? My daughter and I don't mind spiffing up a little for dinner but my husband is typically in nice shorts and a collared shirt. We can throw in a pair of khakis in for him and my son but would like to leave the really dressy stuff behind for packing reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocalTracks Posted May 2, 2018 #22 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Khakis and either a polo or collared shirt. On dressier occasions I wear a blue blazer, collared shirt, and - if I really want to look spiffy - a nice tie. Since I'm probably wearing either a bathing suit or shorts and a tee-shirt all day, I actually like getting a bit dressed up for dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hearthosesteeldrumsplayin Posted May 2, 2018 #23 Share Posted May 2, 2018 One of the aspects we love about cruising is the ability to dress for dinner. Even on NCL, where just about anything goes (okay, within reason!). The guys wear khakis and collared shirts (like a polo, not necessarily a dress shirt) and the gals wear dresses or upscale pants and jackets. On "dress up or not" night, we usually wear a dressy skirt/ blouse and the guys will wear a tux or suit, depending upon what weight we are at when we pack for the cruise ;) No critique of those who don't dress up.....it is just a customary thing with us, since we began cruising back when formal wear was the standard! Any excuse to bring out the tux, y'know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
