HicksRA Posted September 21, 2021 #3 Share Posted September 21, 2021 But nobody enforces it. Kids come in without parents, adults come in in all manner of dress and nothing is said. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, you might be asked to change if you come in a bathing suit, but otherwise, no one cares. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare orville99 Posted September 21, 2021 #10 Share Posted September 21, 2021 4 minutes ago, not-enough-cruising said: "smart casual" is WIDE open for interpretation Not really. In the adult world, smart casual has a very definitive meaning - for example, slacks and a collared shirt for men, and all parts of a woman's attire should make full contact with all other parts of her attire - no bare midriff's for example. https://www.masterclass.com/articles/smart-casual-dress-code-and-attire-guide "Smart casual attire is a dress code that combines well-fitting, polished business wear with elements of casual attire—think blouses, polo shirts, button-downs, chinos, dress pants, dark-wash jeans, and polished, practical footwear. On the spectrum of formality, smart casual lies between dressy casual (jeans and blouses) and business casual (dress pants and pencil skirts). A common way to achieve a smart casual look is to pair pieces of slightly different formality levels, like a pencil skirt with a vibrant sweater, or a refined blazer over a flirty blouse. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I stand corrected, and am glad they don't enforce the dress code in the suite lounge 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare twangster Posted September 21, 2021 #14 Share Posted September 21, 2021 It's not a code so much as a recommendation. What other people wear has no bearing on the taste of my cocktails... unless someone is wearing a speedo who is over the speedo limit. 1 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How convenient. Royal defines Smart Casual as a "step up" from usual dinner wear, which MUST mean that the expectation in the dining rooms is simply casual clothes if we follow that "logic".

Rare DCPIV Posted September 28, 2021 #17 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I can't recall ever seeing someone try to enforce a dress code in the Suite Lounge (or the old Concierge Lounge) since the first time we sailed with a Concierge Lounge about 15 years ago. I do recall the Concierge mention something to a group of passengers in the evening. I never, ever recall seeing anyone say anything to anyone on any other cruise or any other time of day. Frankly, I don't much care what anyone wears, formal or otherwise, as long as they act appropriately. I'd much rather share a room with an appropriately behaved person in flip-flops, shorts, and a tank top than I would with a buffoon in a jacket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we have seen one in particular concierge on Adventure say something to a few passengers...She was very unpopular. We also could care less what people wear.
