nj356 Posted May 28, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Hello My family and I will be on the Oasis tomorrow and when we were on other cruises on the first night I could wear dress shorts in the MDR. For the rest of the week can I still do that, or does it become an issue and longs pants are required. Also any way to know if the ship will be at 100% capacity. Thank you Norm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisegirl1 Posted May 28, 2022 #5 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Some men wear shorts to evening dining venues. As an adult you can decide what is appropriate. m 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jam0610 Posted May 28, 2022 #7 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Your vacation dress how you feel. Was on Allure 3 weeks ago, probably 30% to 40% were wearing shorts. Only reason for Formal Dress Your Best nights is so Royal can sell photos. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She says I have great legs... ... a little fury, but still, great legs. 😁 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My most recent cruise was 8 day Allure in March. Had UDP; ate all but one meal in specialty restaurants. I didn’t even pack a pair of slacks for the trip. Dress shorts and sandals every night 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal doesn't discriminate within the shorts family. Shorts are shorts, and shorts are fine. I am living proof of that as are many many people. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t worry about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect that from a Carnival cruiser, not a Royal cruiser. FYI, I have never sailed Cunard. Many other lines but not that one (nor SilverSea or Regent). I personally don't care in the slightest about what people wear and I enjoy laughing at most. What I do care about is people following the rules because if they can't follow the simple rules what's going to happen when things get tough (such as an onboard fire or God forbid, a sinking)? Laugh at me all you want, I'll be the guy dining in comfort while wearing my nice comfortable shorts. Don't look down though or you'll give yourself a hernia as your laughter escalates when you discover I'm also wearing gasp, flip flops. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted May 28, 2022 #19 Share Posted May 28, 2022 RC doesn't have a dress code. Just dress recommendations. If you want to dress up, do it. If you want to be offended by others who don't, sail one of the luxury lines that require it 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to get all fired up about what to wear in the main dining room, then it was "will grandma make it through this pandemic without dying?", and now it's "who cares what we wear, WE'RE CRUISING AGAIN!!!!". 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcur Posted May 28, 2022 #21 Share Posted May 28, 2022 OK, to be perfectly honest: I was taken aback by the guy in the Diamond Lounge wearing these: He looked like he was wearing his underwear at first glance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonsai3s Posted May 28, 2022 #25 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Yes, you can wear shorts in the MDR and specialty restaurants...no one will stop you. * I continue to bring nice slacks for one reason...we were once invited to a Captain's Table dinner...and genuinely hoping to be invited again, someday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
