Bermuda dress code for dinner

[AlC]

I need some help................real quick. Am totally confused as to dress code for Bermuda itinerary on Zenith, sailing this Saturday.

 

So far I have been told the following:

1) By the Captain's Cub - 2 Formal, 2 Informal, 3 Casual;

2) By Celebrity customer service - 2 Formal, 1 Informal, 4 Casual;

3) A fellow cruiser - 2 Formal, 5 Casual

 

Can anyone just back from Zenith please set me straight....we're almost finished packing and do not want to have start over.

 

Thanks,

Emilysmom,

 

Thanks for the try with Tuggers in the other thread.

Don't fret. Either way, there are 2 formal evenings. Everyone pretty much agrees on what attire is appropriate. "Casual" and "Informal" kind of blend into each other and what you might consider informal, I would consider casual and vise versa. I think as long as you don't twirl into the room with a 6 ft train of silk with pearls embroidered on it and diamond tierra on your head on a casual/informal evening, you'll be fine!

Marco,

 

Thanks for the reply..........i'm one of those sticklers for the dress code so my tux is packed......but when I heard there were no informal nights I thought it would be fun to dress down, so to speak..........

I've always found on Celebrity one or two informal (semi-formal) nights. I would suggest packing a sport coat or blazer. Ties are optional now.

Ok, I guess my response would be more appropriate for your female traveling companion. I don't think anyone would want to see YOU in the lounge wth a 6 ft train embroidered with pearls and a diamond tiarra on your head, even on formal night. At any rate, informal, shirt (with or with out a tie) and jacket. Casual, maybe less dressy trousers and a golf shirt (or buttondown sport shirt). Sometimes, because of the A/C, having that sportjacket with you even on casual nights is not a bad idea. I'm sure you'll be fine!

Not in MY world! And not on X's, either! This is the most misunderstood style of dress. Informal means semi-formal which does not mean casual. You wouldn't show up on Informal night with capris or khaki's and a polo! It's more a blazer and tailored pants and a dressy outfit for women. Like going to church used to be. :)

And aren't all 7 night cruises on X 2, 2 and 3? Formal, Informal and Casual.

Maybe so, but on my last "X" cruise (January - 10 nights) on "Informal" night, I saw lots of sports coats, maybe a half dozen ties.

Off the Horizon to Bermuda last week. 2 formals, 1 informal and 4 casual. I'd estimate 20% or less tuxes. I've stopped taking a tux and now use a dark suit for formals. I now take a contrasting pair of slacks and wear them with the suit jacket which now does double duty. Cuts down drastically on luggage (which I don't like to lug anymore) and although there was a time I'd feel uncomfortable dressing this way I feel fine now.

Hi,

There were 2 formals, 1 semi-formal and 4 casuals.

Mon & thurs were formal.

 

btw, the corkage fee is $20 now. The wine steward didn't bother charging us in lieu of a tip at the end.

 

Have a great Time!!
