snorkle lover Posted June 26, 2019 #26 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Hi Travelwell, Looks like we are sort of neighbors. We are in Newnan and our daughter lives in Suwannee. We took our first Regent cruise last October. Now we are looking forward to our second one in April. We love Regent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't let my husband wear them to dinner. Just my opinion though. totally agree -- Ken brings Sketchers for sightseeing, Docksiders for everyday wear and a nice pair of loafers (Ecco) for dinner. Since he wears shoes on the plane we only have to pack two pairs of shoes for him. Now for me - maybe lots more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelwell Posted June 26, 2019 #28 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Snorkle Lover, It is a small world. We are quite taken by Regent. After only a week cruise on Regent we have booked a Retirement WC 2021. Many from the southern US on our roll call. Enjoy your next cruise!

Ladys Mom Posted June 26, 2019 #29 Share Posted June 26, 2019 We were on the Explorer three weeks ago and the shoe police were not out checking. However, the jeans police were out in force. People were given a warning early on, then a memo was added to the Passages stating that shorts and jeans were unacceptable in any of the dining venues in the evening, and then it was enforced. Men were asked to go back to their suite and change. For some reason, jeans on women were not so closely enforced. Beyond this, we saw both men and women dressed to the nines to dressed for the shore excursion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that Corporate may be tired of hearing about this issue. In terms of shoes, they are more difficult to monitor. Disabled people sometimes have to wear shoes that may not look (or be) dress shoes but are necessary to walk. Then there are flip-flops. Obviously rubber beach flip-flops are not permitted but there are “sandals” that could be described as flip-flops. I’m posting an example below. Are these sandals or flip-flops?

Obviously rubber beach flip-flops are not permitted but there are “sandals” that could be described as flip-flops. I’m posting an example below. Are these sandals or flip-flops? Here is a definition of both from a shoe website: "Flip flops are also known as thong sandals, thongs, sandals, or slippers. A flip flop consists of a flat sole that is held loosely on the foot by a Y-shaped strap that passes between the big toe and the second toe to the sides of the foot. It does not secure the ankles and is usually made of rubber, but it can also be made from hemp, cotton, and coconut. It is the most common footwear in developing countries like India, Pakistan, the Philippines, and other Southeast Asian countries due to its affordability. Sandals, on the other hand, consist of a sole that is held firmly on the foot by straps or thongs that pass over the instep and are secured at the ankles. A sandal may have flat soles or it may have heels." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeb_bud Posted June 27, 2019 #35 Share Posted June 27, 2019 No heel strap, but a heel. Must be a flip-flandle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
