dress code

[first_timer2]

I know this will sound stupid, but keep in mind that it's coming from a first timer :o

 

At restaurants, can bermudas be worn by men? I know on formal nights it has to be a suit, but on the other nights, can dressy bermudas be worn.

 

Thanks for you help:confused:

As of last December, the dress code was for no shorts in the dining room at dinner. Don't know how well they enforce this? Shorts are OK in the dining room at breakfast and dinner.

No shorts in the dining room for dinner regardless how dressy they are except on the first night (they will waive the no shorts rule if you have not received your luggage in time). There is a sign at the door stating no shorts.

 

Now for all others, no need to respond with your point of view. The OP asked a question and I answered it correctly. Let us move on..

I think you meant breakfast and lunch not dinner. :D

[tvaud]

LARGIN is giving you correct information...as usual;) Shorts are ok for breakfast and lunch in the dining rooms, but not for dinner....even if you are docked in Bermuda.:D

[paul929207]

No shorts, tea shirts or hats in the dining room for dinner.

No. No shorts, Bermuda or otherwise by either men or women in any dining room or restaurant at dinner. This is one thing that is usually strictly enforced.

No toothpicks either. :eek:

[chasetf]

The dining room is kept pretty cool.... so even for breakfast and lunch if can be too cool.

Of course everyone knows oz was a little lonely old man with a microphone and looked nothing like a captain. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

No shorts. so jeans sweats are assumed to be ok?

[Love Boat Dream]

My then DH was not allowed to enter the dining room at dinnertime because he was wearing shorts (and they were nice linen shorts) He had to go back to the cabin to change.

 

I think that they are allowed the first night and also the last night though because of luggage issues.

I agree, I have seen people in shorts turned away at dinner.

No shorts. No sweats. No casual jeans with fraying and/or holes.

Men in Kilts are acceptable.

Men in Kilts are acceptable.

 

My thoughts exactly. Aren't Bermuda shorts with a button-down shirt, tie and jacket are considered formal by native Bermudans? Perhaps that's what the OP meant by "dressy Bermudas?"

 

On our last family cruise, we checked in advance to ensure that Barong Tagalog with fancy neckpieces (traditional Filipino embroidered formal wear for men) were acceptable in the dining room on formal nights. The ship assured us our dress would be fine and, while it didn't exactly meet the published codes (no jackets), our group had many compliments.

I think shorts and jacket and tie are considered proper business dress in Bermuda rather than formal dress.

 

If you peruse the dress threads the impression is that there are no shorts allowed in the dining room for diner except on formal night when ALL RULES are disavowed and it becomes the OK Corral of fashion! :rolleyes::D:rolleyes:

This post should turn into a dress code war zone fast!

Why is it that so many people want to bend the dress code rules? Dress well and try to smell good, you are sharing space with civilized people on a floating paradise.

They issue luggage????

I hate to correct you, but actually they're gorgeous.

Why the correction? :rolleyes:

 

My point was kilts are perfectly acceptable for men to wear.

 

Latitude 20 completely understood what I meant. ;)...:)

[xSoCalGal]

I think what she meant was that men in kilts aren't merely acceptable-looking, but gorgeous. :)

No shorts. No sweats. No casual jeans with fraying and/or holes.

 

So formal stylish jeans with no holes are okay?

Not to me, but according to the Princess site, reluctantly, they are.:cool:
