Surprised it's made it this long.  Nice to have these discussions back tho.

Appreciate your opinion. ( I still have no intention of running my opinions by ya before posting).

The ship is typically cool at night- the AC is blasting- so a jacket, sweater and sweat shirt are a must.  

 

Most important is clean clothes- we had the unfortunate experience of being in near some people who stink on a cruise.  They think because the clothes "look" clean, they can wear for days-  Please bathe and change your clothes!

Me too I thought I had made a comment about how in Florida people wear shorts to dinner at all kinds of venues but I think it disappeared, don't know why

I had made similar posts regarding normalized shorts wearing at all kinds of fine establishments in TX. Evidently it was deemed “not germane” to the topic.

I just got off Symphony and I wore shorts every night I ate in the MDR. The staff doesn’t care and I’m definitely not worried about what other guests think.

There's really no need for clean clothes.  Just being extra perfumes and how yourself down with that! 😜

 

Seriously, some people from other countries do not adhere to the same hygiene practices we are sued to in the US.  They don't use deodorants and don't bathe daily.  We used to run into this a lot at WDW - humid conditions can really create some unpleasant BO, and combine that with that different levels of hygiene and we sometimes just had to get out of a queue line so we could breathe!

That's hardly the worst of it.  The water in the hot tub isn't exactly pristine.

The human crockpots. The stew meat sits in there for hours.

Wait staff want their tips lol.

 

In the days when the rule was enforced, it wasn't the wait staff who did it.  It was management, as in maitre'd.  

Yes, but they really did try to encourage you to come as you are.  It’s pretty convincing!

The first thing I do when entering the MDR each night is look under each table to see if anyone is wearing shorts. 
 

What about a kilt?

Did you wear your ballcap backwards or forwards?

Kilts can be quite formal...and expensive:)

Why assume I wore one at all?

Yessir, and watch every woman's head turn and eyes follow the guy to the table.  I'll settle for a wee dram of a good scotch from Islay and forgo the kilt.

Maybe there should be a sticky concerning dress codes/what’s actually acceptable for RCI various dinning venues. 

Or simply read the dress code info that Royal provides, and comply how you deem fit.

I have seen kilts on formal night.

 

And I wish I had seen bagpipes on formal night.

I worked with a Scottish guy a few years ago .

He told me what the definition of a gentleman is : a guy that knows how to play the bag pipes , and doesnt .
