Dress code for Teens - boys

This will be our first time on cruise. We are going to Alaska. Wondering what my son(16 years) should pack for the formal nights and also for the traditional dining rooms every evening. Would appreciate if you can share their thoughts. Thanks in advance.

Depends more on the cruise line than anything else . Kind of important ?

Best bet is to post this question on that cruise lines Forum here on CC.

The dress code for teens is no different than for adults. EM

Agree. Cruise lines have their own policy and manner of enforcement.

My boys wore dress shirts and ties with slacks when they were that age - looked great. On our Alaska trip two of our bags had gone astray on the airlines so they wore sneakers with that and it was fine.

Thanks for sharing. I have also posted it in the Princess section. But I think that it is going to be same as what you all said here. Thank you.

This is the code for Carnival. OP returned later and stated that they were going on Princess. Just wanted to point that out since this is the first-time cruisers forum. I didn't want anyone to get confused.
