ECCruise Posted February 19, 2021 #76 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Honestly, the OP never said it was the sweatsuit issue that has them not wanting to sail =X=, even though that very may well be the reason. It may have been the snarky comments, also. It is like with us, over 30 =X= cruises and 20 years ago, when we really did consider cancelling our first sailing on Celebrity after reading some of the nasty comments on this very site. Things like "a navy sport coat and tan slacks absolutely do NOT fit the ambiance of Celebrity dining. For us, it is either a DJ (tux) either in white or black." Or "pool games? POOL games? I think you need to go back to your party line, Carnival" Or the classic, "I think you need to find another cruise line. Celebrity is not for you, obviously." Fortunately, we ignored the comments when another poster said, and I quote, "Some Celebrity cruisers are not better than anyone else. They just think they are."" 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never and would never let someone's opinion, negative or positive influence me from cruising a ship, cruise line or itinerary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. That is why we became loyal =X= cruisers instead of retreating to NCL or Carnival. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you. 😊 However, ECC and I were essentially making the same point. If posters are looking for valid answers to their questions why should they receive inappropriate responses?

zitsky Posted February 19, 2021 #80 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Can you point to another forum that handles questions with more tact as an example to the rest of us? Dress code threads get exciting, unfortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fouremco Posted February 19, 2021 #83 Share Posted February 19, 2021 You don't even have to go to other boards. Post on the "So a Penguin, a Horse and Polar Bear walk into a bar on the Edge..." and the "Post a Photo..." threads have been very pleasant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it could be these threads are getting edgier during this Pandemic but I personally think it’s been that way since I joined ‘a few years ago’! One of my earliest posts was about how I loved being able to sample different entree’s and such at the MDR and I got attacked for wasting food and driving costs up. It then degraded into attacks on my character. The thread got locked, but the guy who was really attacking me started another thread going crazy over my affront of wasting his money and that got shut down. Life on an anonymous world. You don’t see any of that on the Roll Calls were we will meet up face-face. A lot of times we, especially me, do poke fun on threads and sometimes it gets a bit too pointed at another poster. The point of the great majority of the discussion here was that the sweats weren’t allowed, and then discussed as inappropriate and then into shots such as the ‘Subway’ post and mine about being shocked, shocked that someone wouldn’t be wearying their ascot...... I’m afraid the original poster then interpreted this as Celebrity was too ‘haughty’ for them when in fact all was meant is sweats aren’t in line and regular pants such as dockers and so on are fine. Not a big deal, though. Lots of Cruise Line choices. What we wear is very subjective. I’ve seen outfits in many environnements that I’d not be seen in no matter what. On a tour of Dachau, a woman wore a Mickey Mouse sweatshirt.......there wasn’t any dress code, just common sense that should have been in play touring a place where ten’s of thousands died horrible deaths. One guess of her ‘nationality’ and the first guess doesn’t count! Wearing sweats to a dining room isn’t that level, it just isn’t allowed because it isn’t appropriate for that specific occasion.

Rare Essiesmom Posted February 19, 2021 #91 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I do believe that the dress code, at least for elegant chic nights should be updated to specify that the ascot, pocket square, cummerbund/vest and mask should match...
