Hi all,

 

Quick dress code question. 
 

During the evenings are smart polo style T-shirts allowed in the restaurants?

 

Thank you

Yes. Here's what we wore one evening. Jeans and a polo-type short sleeve and a nice pullover.

What the heck is a ‘smart polo style T-shirt’??

 

You will be told that most anything is OK by some; others will quote the FAQ section, which states no T-shirts….but My opinion is just wear something with a collar, and I Assume that is what is meant by using the word ‘polo-style’….(I hyphenated it to make it one word!!)

 

There is another active dress code thread that covers Everything you’d ever dream of …..or have a nightmare over…wearing ongoing.

A golf/polo collared style shirt is acceptable any evening, any restaurant.

Collar is what they state, so a t shirt is not recommended 

[Denny01]

And Please Please Please Do Not ask about wearing a certain type of bottom half of clothing that are missing most of the legs, usually worn doing yard work or out zipping around in the heat!! Pleeeasssse!

Formal Night gets a modern reboot. Say goodbye to Formal Night, and hello to Evening Chic. It’s your time to shine—your way. Get glamorous. Get chic. Be sophisticated. Now, on up to two nights on every cruise, Evening Chic activities have been introduced, and Evening Chic attire has replaced Formal attire. While dressier than Smart Casual, Evening Chic is intended to be less dressy than Formal attire.

 

Women should feel comfortable wearing:

• A cocktail dress
• Skirt, pants or designer jeans with an elegant top
•  

Men should feel comfortable wearing:

• Pants or designer jeans with a dress shirt, button-down shirt or sweater
• Optional sport coat or blazer

 

Evening Chic means that you can get glamorous and be sophisticated in your own way. If you would like to still wear a tuxedo or formal gown on Evening Chic nights, you absolutely should.

 

All cruises that are 7 nights or longer will feature two Evening Chic nights. Any cruise 6-nights or shorter will feature one Evening Chic night. All other nights of the cruise will feature Smart Casual attire. Celebrity Xpedition will continue to feature casual attire for the entire cruise.

 

Smart Casual attire can be enjoyed every other night of your cruise.

 

Women should feel comfortable wearing:

• Skirt, pants or jeans with a casual top.

Men should feel comfortable wearing:

• Pants or jeans with a short sleeve sport shirt.

 

Note: T-shirts, swimsuits, robes, bare feet, tank tops, baseball caps and pool wear are not allowed in the main restaurant or specialty restaurant at any time. Shorts and flip-flops are not allowed in the evening hours. The dress code will be enforced at all restaurants. And guests are asked to follow the Smart Casual or Evening Chic dress code in the Celebrity Theater for all evening performances. The daily program, delivered to your stateroom and available at the Guest Relations Desk, will be your guide to the correct attire each evening.

A nice pullover sweater doesn't have a collar but is an appropriate evening wear.

Fully understand the collar statement, and gone that route and loved to step it up a bit with a jacket and when I’m Very adventurous, add a Bow Tie! But have also done the Henley that was a bit more sporty than just the buttoned T-shirt look.

As long as the staff at the entrance of the MDR is cool with what you re wearing, that's all that matters. Interpretations of the dress guidelines by others doesn't matter.

Henley shirts are definitely not a short sleeve sport or polo shirt.   They are often considered underwear as they look like the top half of thermal underwear.  But this is Celebrity so dress down to the level that suits you and your style.

[Denny01]

Whats Thermal Underwear????

Old school.  It was usually cotton and had a slight waffle weave to it.  And no syrup is required!

I agree…..The bright red nose and 3ft flipper shoes looked just fine, but that baseball hat would have put me off also!!

If you are talking about a golf style shirt, they are certainly allowed. I have seen plenty of T-shirts as well over the years. Please just avoid shorts and tank tops (men) in the MDR or Specialty restaurants.
