children's dresscode for Alaskan dining

[Sisa]

Hi,

 

We are soon to be heading off to Alaska on the Coral Princess with our DDs (ages 8 and 10). I know there are 2 formal nights, and we are prepared for that. What do we need to dress them in for the other 5 nights? They usually just wear jeans and cute tops. However, I see that jeans are not "allowed" in the dining room. Does this truly apply to children? Also, do the kids eat dinner at times at the kids club area?

 

I would just like to know how much I really need to pack for them (and/or purchase) to be properly "presentable."

 

Thank you very much for your help,

 

Lise

Hi,

 

Yes the "no jeans' means children too. They can wear a sun dress, regular dress, any pants that are not jeans.

 

Hope that helps.

Yes I agree, the children have the same dress code as the adults. :)

Jeans were worn on casual nights by adults in Diamond Princess dining rooms. The quote from the Alaska brochure is "In the dining room items such as cutoff T-shirts, halter tops, and torn jeans are not permitted".

You might want to take something more like khakis for their pants. As for the kids room/eating - they usually take the kids to the buffet where jeans is not an issue. Just dress them as you would for a nice restaurant at home as opposed to a pizza place.

i am 12 and i have been to the kids zone and they have a special night that they go up to the horizon court and you can have pizza, fries, chicken fingers, or a buger. but for that day you don't have to be dressed up. your kids can wear khaki, navy blue, or black pants or if u have girls they can wear dresses for formal nights or for just regular night u can wear skirts that arn't to short, or anything else.

PS i have been to alaska and it rained and rained so take stuff for rain just incase. also take warm clothes if you go for a stroll on the ship.

For our girls (then 6&8) I had also just included for each a peasant type skirt and they wore different tops with them - my girls usually ate at the Horizon Court or room service as they didn't want to miss kids club!

Thank you everybody for your input. I think I have the outfits for the girls covered now. Thanks especially to you, Kaleen! I really appreciate getting information from someone so close to my girls' ages. It sounds like you had a great time in Alaska, except for the rain:(. I hope my girls have as much fun!
