[Mrteeshot]

of shorts ,a nice shirt and a pair of sandals? LOL

 

I am not much of a fancy dresser and do not own a suit ,

 

I could always put on a pair of white socks with the sandals though LOL

Fellow cruisers will shun you....cruise staff will mock you....small children will kick you in the shin....you will be compared to the lowlifes that throw message bottles overboard and smuggle booze!

 

Seriously...enjoy and don't stress...if you are clean and neat, you'll be fine!

Last week this guy showed up in plaid shorts, white shoes, and a little captains hat in the dining room; and no one paid it any attention....after a while. :D I even seen young people come in wearing sandals, shorts and hats. No one really got twisted out of shape over it at all.

Not again...... Do you have anything better to do with your time?

We just got back from a Princess cruise and my husband worn a nice pair of dark jeans/nice golf shirt (not torn etc) in the dining room for most of the cruise. And on the formal nights he wore dress pants/collared shirt (no tie). He was comfortable and didn't feel out of place. There were lots of people in tuxes and lots of people dressed like my DH.

 

On our upcoming Carnival cruise he'll be doing the same thing. It makes him much more comfortable and he can pack less.

Last February on the Liberty we had "pirates" at dinner. It was a group of people... I think there were 30-40 total who were all from Key West. For elegant nights they dressed up in full pirate regalia - swashbucklers and bar maids alike.

 

I wore sandals to dinner in the MDR myself. I don't think anyone will even notice. I'd skip the socks though! That's like wearing a red flag. LOL

clean is my key..you don t want people losing their appetite or barfing when you have cow pies between your toes..:D

 

if it s Carnival, no big deal..just show your trying to fit in..

 

Holland..you might be left off at the next port..:cool:

[Cruzman]

Personally, if I were seated at your table, I'd have a hard time keeping a straight face. If I had had a couple of adult beverages prior to your arrival, I would no doubt ROTFLMAO. Sorry, just being honest here.

[eggypann]

The only reason I'd be ROTFLMAO would be if you did wear the white socks with the sandals!!!

[Cruisin'Trooper]

Its Carnival - you will not get any looks or scoldings at all!

I saw the same thing.:p:D

[Traveler353]

Onboard no one will care. Here, now that is a different story. Some people have no sense of humor.:p

I guess that is there choice to be the way they are, the rules are they can wear long shorts. That is the way it is.:p

To answer correctly, we'd need to see pictures of your legs.

 

But I'd imagine it could go like this:

That would depend on how good your legs look ...:p

[Karlyn8]

Who cares? You obviously don't. You are on vacation. Dress however you want and don't care what anyone else thinks.:rolleyes:

[Scott_F]

As long as you stick to the recommend dress code of the ship, no one can complain. I think it's cool when everyone dresses up on formal night. Wife loves it. I normally just rent the tux. Less to pack and it's really convenient. Just don't forget your own black socks. Tuxes don't come with socks. :) Found that out the hard way first cruise.

 

I think the dressing nice brings back some nostalgia about cruises from yesteryear. (Stuff I only saw in the movies).

 

Wife loves getting our photos on formal nights. Only time she really ever gets me in a tux or suit.

[2Ports]

Have worn shorts to dinner a number of times, no prob. Always wear my sandals - quit bringing shoes for DR several cruises ago. BTW - I always bring one (or 2) tuxes for formal night...

[sam1148]

And THIS.

 

Seriously, we can't answer these questions with good info until we got pics of the legs. Okay look:

 

 

 

 

Contestant#1: You need the red tie and I hope you found your bike.

Contestant#2: Loose the jacket and stop laughing at the photographer.

Contestant#3: Raaaawwr.

If you are worried about it than either dress different or do the buffet. That way you won't have to worry about how others look at you.

Same here. I would rather wear some nice shorts and shirt...but my wife has only seen me dressed up 2 times, wedding day and Honeymoon cruise...so she informed me :Dthat I would be taking my suit with me

[matt314hew]

On the elegant nights, not a good thing, but any other night, that is fine. I wore dress shorts most nights with polo's and shoes.
