Dress Code Royal Caribbean

[thebard51]

We are doing our first Royal Caribbean cruise for a number of years. I note that 2 nights are designated Formal?  My previous experience is that very few, if any, actually take formal gear. 
 

Recent experiences and comments please. 
 

thanks all

Hi,

Been on a few RCI and the demographic and "events" ie Xmas are important, Older people will dress up and use the MDR, younger with families won't and will generally use the buffet.

 

There recently has been a push to drop the "formal" description and name it "Dress your best" as noted on royal carribean blog(Cruise critic censoring)

Thanks a lot, as I suspected. Apprecaite your advice

[thebard51]

Thanks bl26200. I'll follow Dress Your Best principal

They don’t call it formal anymore ,it’s now called dress your best.

People still dress up and look a million bucks. But it’s not compulsory.
 You have to have something on your feet in the dining area’s  at all times

If it is a domestic cruise, I bring my Tux still, for overseas, I have a lounge Jacket and dark trousers.

Usually I just take a suit and tie, unless it’s a longer cruise a Tux seems a bit too much for one or two nights.

Check your cruise planner gut ,I saw Chops +1 for $80 .It may get better over the weekend.

Thats a night at chops a another in a specialty restaurant of your choice.

Thank you I will have a look at that one. Chops is one we are keen on, usually do at least one night at the steakhouse.

I checked our prices, while better, they are not enticing me at all.

Gutsy baby you can do chops second night and if you’re got room in your craw ?one to the end of your cruises around Australia.

Jan is our fist Royal Cruise so we will just play things by ear. And now Mrs G’s pancreatitis forces her to veganism, my steakhouse visits have diminished.

It’s a tough life, but everyone knows I am a sacrificial little lambie as well as a delicate little petal and a world renowned nutter.

[MicCanberra]

Yes, you are all of those things, but we like you anyway.
