To this day seeing people wearing hats inside while sitting at a table eating dinner still bothers me. I guess I have to blame my parents for that being so well engrained in my psyche. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only dining areas on NCL that require long pants are Le Bistro, Ocean Blue / Bayamo, and Cagney's... Honestly, I think that I've worn shorts to Cagney's before without any problems. You say his post is not true then you go on to give the exact same info he did. As he said, you absolutely do have to wear pants at all times (unless in your cabin, taking certaibn spa treatments, or if you are wearing a bathing suit. In most places you can have either long or short pants but pants are indeed required. NCL is not quite THAT freestyle. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, to a US person saying that "pants are required" indicates to us to wear long pants as other cultures might call them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even remember the last time that I wore a hat outdoors or indoors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may mean what you say to you but it surely is not that was for all people in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 28yo son on the other hand does not and has been wearing hats the last 3-4 years. I find myself reminding him to remove his hat / cap when we dine indoors 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesimapirate Posted August 20, 2022 #88 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Since we're discussing dinner attire, do people dress better for meals on European cruises? I don't only done the tropics so far but have an upcoming Athens departure. I'll still wear sneakers but might switch for fancier ones 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
complawyer Posted August 20, 2022 #89 Share Posted August 20, 2022 we were on the jade from athens last april, and there was no change in what people were wearing. i lived in jeans and tennis shoes throughout the entire 9 day cruise. bless ncl for its freestyle policy. the dress code may be entirely different on european cruise ships, but im sticking with ncl. on my 1st cruise about 30years ago, when y ou still had assigned dinner times, tables and other people at the table, i didnt know any better, it was a 7 day cruise and i packed 4 suits with the accessories, as well as a tuxedo for dress up night... NEVER AGAIN!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A collared shirt and khakis with some Skechers if we're eating in Le Bistro. Any other restaurant, a Hawaiian shirt and shorts (or jeans if it's a cold-weather cruise). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a cruise to Alaska my partner and i got off the ship and there was a Holland America cruise also docked, as we were going past some of those cruisers one woman says to the other, what ship is that? it was the Jewel and the woman response was, Ugh is a ship full of bums, Norwegian cruise line is full of bums...LOL....My partner and i looked at each other...Talk about snobs...LOL 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
