Going on Liberty Of The Seas in May 2010 and I am not really a 'dress' or 'fancy pants' sort of woman. I have heard that the main dining room doesn't allow guests wearing shorts in. How strict is this? I don't mean day/pool shorts, I mean nice classy tailored shorts.
Will I be turned away to the buffet cart?!
Answer :
The dress code will probably vary from one ship or cruise line to another. Outside of the dining rooms the typical attire is shorts, t-shirts, and flip-flops or sandals. In the dining rooms however, the dress code is slacks, skirts, or dresses for the ladies, and slacks (like dockers or nicer) and a collared shirt for the men. Not all cruise ships enforce their dress policies though. Some are more lenient than others.
I'm not sure where they draw the line as far as what's considered appropriate or inappropriate when it comes to "fancy shorts".
I think if you're having some doubts about whether it's appropriate, you should error on the safe side. I recommend packing a pair of nice dress slacks just in case.
I think formal occassions are a bit ridiculous. I call formal wear "Snob Attire". But come on, it can be fun sometimes! You're out in public, after the cruise, chances are the other passengers will never see you again, so why not make a scene? Live it up. Be the one who turns everybody's head when you walk into the room! Even if you don't normally enjoy wearing "snob attire", why not just drab things up for a night or two, and just have fun with it? (If you're brave and daring, you could do the whole Ms. Gabore or Gloria Swanson routine;, walk in there in a really fancy dress, nose held high, and refer to everyone as "Dahlink!!!!" It could be fun!)
Hope you have a wonderful trip!
ANswer :
Shorts, of any kind, are not allowed in the dining room past 6 PM. You will need to wear nice slacks and tops, or a casual dress. I've just returned from a Royal Caribbean cruise, and I found that most people wore outfits that I considered dressy.
I don't believe that you can wear shorts in the buffet in the evening.
On formal evenings, if you do not want to get dressed up, you can dress casually, and go to the buffet.
Answer :
i think that at dinner you will have to wear a dress or skirt. i am going on a royal caribbean cruise in march and i just had to buy 3 dresses and some tanks to go with a denim skirt. but for the lunch/breakfast i know (from carnival cruise experience) there will be no dress code because people just wear what they wear out on the ship and to the ports of call. (PS: will you go in the teen clubs if you are that age? haha.) http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;…
have funn on your cruisee!!
Answer :
No shorts or tank tops allowed in dining rooms in the evening. In the buffet you may wear anything except swimwear without a cover up.I just went on Mariner of the Seas in January. I wore shorts in the buffet at night, as did some others. No problem. have fun!
Answer :
Very probably! Shorts of any cut or style or length are not acceptable in the dining room in the evening. Take a skirt that goes with the tops you were planning, and you'll be just fine.
Answer :
Not everyone follows the rules ..I have seen jeans and t-shirts.
You (everyone) should follow the guidelines so the staff and passengers are not put in an embarrassing situation.
Have a great cruise vacation.
Answer :
Shorts are shorts. If you don't want to meet the basic requirements of the dining room, then eat where you can wear whatever such as at the buffet or order room service.
