5waldos Posted April 3, 2022 #1 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Looking further into my Celebrity app and see that when discussing evening wear they say- no sandals. Can this be true? I don't wear rubber flipflops but certainly had planned on wearing sandals at night. Seems like you can wear sneakers (or whatever they are called these days) but not sandals? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hrhdhd Posted April 3, 2022 #3 Share Posted April 3, 2022 This is the dress code from the web site: https://www.celebritycruises.com/faqs/onboard-dress-code It mentions no flip flops in the MDRs or specialty restaurants at dinner. They mean, in practice, pool flip flops, not dress sandals for evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5waldos Posted April 3, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) On the phone app it says "no flip-flops, sandals, or shorts allowed during the evening dining hours." Edited April 3, 2022 by 5waldos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where on the app is that? I couldn’t find anything about dress codes. Never mind, I found it. Edited April 3, 2022 by Mark_K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A long skirt perhaps with sandals and I might flaunt the sandals? Alternately- the gorilla outfit might also work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that was enforced about a third of the women would not be allowed in the MDR. The phone app has lots of things that are either out of date or worded poorly. Neither my wife or I own a pair of closed toed shoes. I have been a speaker at a convention wearing top hat and tails . . . and black leather Birkenstocks with black socks. Nobody ever complained. The one place sandals are not allowed unless you present a letter stating medical reason why you cannot wear closed toed shoes is the exercise room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ship tour on Edge required close-toed shoes. And they enforced it because we were in areas where open-toed shoes were dangerous. I saw at least one person sent back to put on proper footwear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The image of a top hat and birkenstock is .... well, you should have sent the company a picture- would have made a wonderful advertisement!

And to expand slightly -- when on the heli-pad closed toe shoes are required. I've also observed folks being denied access to the heli-pad while wearing open toe sandals. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wear sandals (not flip flops) every night and it is no problem. So do many many others. The wording must be weird on the phone app. (And there are many who never look at the phone app and use the website for information exclusively). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not weird- "no flip-flops, sandals, or shorts allowed during the evening dining hours." Hard to misinterpret that. But, I doubt that anyone pays any attention to it- if you want to wear sandals you wear sandals. And I can't imagine anyone onboard faulting you for it. It has been my experience that Celebrity could use a really good editor for both their online information and their phone app. Both need a very thorough cleansing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogini06 Posted April 3, 2022 #17 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I have worn dressier leather wedge heel sandals to dinner every night except evening chic. No one has ever sent me away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted April 3, 2022 #18 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I think the intent was no rubber flip flops for anyone and no sandals on men. But of course saying that would create more problems. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCHPcruiser Posted April 3, 2022 #19 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Just returned from an Apex cruise. Except for the gym, I never wore anything but “sandals” of varying degrees of dressiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare markeb Posted April 4, 2022 #25 Share Posted April 4, 2022 As I get older and can't remember what I had for dinner last night, I can vividly remember completely irrelevant internet threads from probably 3 1/2 to 4 years ago. In this case regarding "sandals". Someone had been stopped at the door for an Elite event because she was wearing what she described basically as an open toed strapless heel that the host decided to declare a sandal. It probably turned into a 20 page thread... Those were the days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
