Painter4me Posted December 12, 2021 #1 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I’m sure this question has been asked by many wives. Can men wear dress shorts and a polo shirt in the MDR for dinner? I don’t understand why this has to be so difficult in my house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I find the dining room a bit too cold (temperature wise) for shorts, but then we are in Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neverbeenhere Posted December 12, 2021 #6 Share Posted December 12, 2021 If the wife allows it, men could wear shorts in the MDR. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When people dress down in the main dining room, it drastically changes the taste of your meal. 1 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure to have one pair of long pants just in case . Bring a pair of unfaded black jeans . Goes with everything. Ive worn them with a sports jacket on formal night . You dont need formal wear much anymore . Polo or collared shirt work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't answer what may happen when you are onboard, but I always wear shorts and a golf/polo style shirt the first evening. All evenings going forward I always wear dockers and a golf/polo style shirt. We stopped dressing formally after our 2017 JOS cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorts in the MDR on Royal not a problem despite what some may try to tell you. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
