Breakfast attire in dining room

I'm sure this has been asked before but I couldn't find it. What is the acceptable attire for breakfast (and lunch) in the main Dining Room? Is it acceptable to wear shorts and a Polo or T shirt? I assume that this is OK in the Lido.

Breakfast is pretty laid back in MDR. Tank tops and flip flops might be inappropriate: it's not a MacDonalds breakfast after all.

Yes it is. We have and no one has told us to change.

No bathrobes (I've seen this in the Lido).

No bathrobes (I've seen this in the Lido).

Based on where we have seen them, it seems bathrobes are now acceptable just about everywhere on the ship! :rolleyes:

Same dresscode as in the Lido for Breakfast as far as I know and adhere to.

And yes, I do wear flipflops for Breakfast.

It is Breakfast, per definition a very casual affair. We are on a vacation, not on Wall Street.

Bathrobes appear to be fully acceptable for breakfast in high end hotels in Europe. I would not wear one.

We do wear bermudas and nice tops to the dining room for breakfast.

The couple of times that the dining room was open for lunch, we wore the same clothes.

I have seen people in tank tops, short shorts, flip flops, etc. in the dining room.

Yes, it's fine to wear them to the MDR as well for breakfast & lunch. :)

Thanks for all the replies.

What about breakfast in the Pinnacle Grill? I'm in a Neptune suite on my next cruise for the first time. I'm hoping I won't need to wear morning dress lol

Never in the Pinnacle Grill, but we have seen our share of bathrobes in the Neptune Lounge. :eek:

Ditto. Some not very pleasant sights sitting wide legged on the couch.... and that was the men!

Dress attire in the Pinnacle Grill is the same as the MDR and the rest of the ship.

so shorts are certaily seen and allowed.

Haven't seen any bathrobes though ;)

Of course you can always call HAL if you doubt me :*

I have, too. Mostly people going to pick up something to take back to the room. I don't think I saw anyone in a bathrobe sitting in the lounge.

I know HAL wants you to feel at home, but some people take it too literally.

I think I'm uncomfortable with the idea of wearing my bathrobe anywhere outside of the stateroom. I'm relieved shorts etc are ok for Pinnacle breakfast

Heck, I've seen people in robes in the lounges, in the afternoon, participating in activities. :eek:

Some people have no sense of decorum.

Does it really matter all that much to anyone? Not to us. As long as we can get a decent cup of coffee in AM we are just fine. We concern ourselves with ourselves. Life is too short for us to be a couple of judgemental busybodiies.

Wear what you want.

And if you must wear a bathrobe, please remember to wear underwear too! :o

Shorts, tees, flip flops are fine for breakfast and lunch in the MDR. No worries! Very casual. No swimsuits visible and no robes!

And yes, I do wear flipflops for Breakfast.

:eek::eek::eek: I certainly hope that they're 'dress' flipflops! :rolleyes:

This thread is educational.

From what we see, pax on longer cruise often dress up a bit more for breakfast and lunch in the MDR. Of course in the Lido anything goes.

As with society in general, the dumbing down of HAL continues, corporate and pax driven.

My God, will people PLEASE stop with the "dumbing down" comments...

Just because people do not want to play "Downton Abbey" 24/7 on a cruise anymore does not mean they are now playing "People of Walmart." "Dress up" for breakfast and lunch?? Seriously??? If people are clothed within the HAL guidelines, it's no one's damn business to be the HAL clothing police. If someone is not happy with the more casual atmosphere now dictated by HAL's own guidelines, there is always another cruise line to try. There is room between the two without resorting to immediately calling something dumbing down.

Exactly. Well said.
