Someone could lose an eye!

Or....Or....gain a new perspective on life :cool:

They absolutely can and I am constantly jealous of those for whom that look works really well. ;)

Well, it's all about attitude. Strut it like a peacock. :cool:

Turbines being worn as head gear in the MDR is where even Carnival must draw a line in the sand. No turbines, ever!

They should be allowed, no questions asked. It'll bring the sea breeze indoors

You mean "dress" like the guy underneath (above actually) or "look" like the guy underneath. I can dress like him all week long but it wouldn't help in my case. :(

lol, I am just saying that flip flops can work with button ups....unlike the nike ones

I'm not a fashionista by any means, but I read, just a few days ago, that Adidas and nike flip-flop/sandals are VERY out this year (I think the source was CNN). If you don't care about that, more power to you, but if you do and you hadn't heard, succumb to the prevailing fashion pressure or flame away! :D

I agree. At least go with something like this. These range from 50-75USD. They look better, give you support, and can actually look nice if you dress like the guy underneath.

Well it would probably be a wrap or a Shaw, etc, not just a baseball cap, and that would be at discretion of cruise line and special exemption would be appropriate.

I think a baseball cap would be appropriate if they wanted to wear it.

It breaks my heart when I see kids who have completed chemo wearing baseball hats. :loudcry: I would allow baseball caps too.

I also think dew rags and turbines can be worn in the MDR under all circumstances.

Yes this!!^^. Enforce the rules! I wear a hat nearly all times when I'm not at work. If we go out to eat I almost always have a hat on unless going to a fine restaurant, because it's inappropriate. Guess what? I don't wear a hat in the MDR! Why? Because it's the policy! Follow the rules, if you don't like them, eat in the buffet. I saw several people last cruise in basketball shorts, tshirts in MDR, tacky to say the least. I have no problem with that attire, that's what I usually wear, but I dress for the occasion when going out or on a cruise in MDR.

Hats don't bother me. They aren't appropriate but live and let live.

How do you feel about hats if they have cancer or some disfiguring disease?

Thanks, you beat me to it.......we were one of the unfortunate/fortunate ones caught on the Victory during her 'refurbishment AT SEA'.....uggghhh! We were in a brand spanking, Breeze décor new cabin, which was GREAT....however they were refurbishing the cabins on the deck directly ABOVE us during the entire cruise......and because they were behind schedule they extended work hours to 24/7.....not the relaxing cruise we had hoped for.

But on the plus side....then ship looks excellent and it is decorated in the Caribbean theme and colors just like the Breeze.....very very nice!!

What?

Did you say anything? That is just wrong on so many levels that I cannot even begin to start.

My mistake. There's another thread just like this one and several people who are supposedly defending the dress code have chosen to do so by insulting the ones who wear a few items of clothing they disapprove of. To me, attitudes like that are much worse than someone wearing a pair of slip-on sandals in the MDR.

What I don't understand is someone who doesn't mind people being slobs in the buffet, but do mind slip-on sandals in the MDR. Really, if a person is being a slob in your line of sight in the buffet, that's no big deal, but if someone somewhere has those sandals on in the MDR, that bothers you?

 

I assume you're referring to those who want to wear flip flops and such in the MDR and do so because they want to get their way. But what you describe seems to also apply to people here. Whining and beating the drum of negativity because they occasionally see flip flops or a T-shirt in the MDR. Looks to me like it applies to both sides.

There are different expectations in the buffet vs the MDR.

Buffet - I expect choas. I completely expect to see kids running around with kids yelling. There are no rules against eating like a pig and shoveling food into their mouths. It's their cruise and it would be wrong of me to criticize how they shovel food in their mouth in what is akin to the cafeteria.

MDR - I simply expect more in this setting. Not much more. But sandals w/ socks are a YUGE social no no on land and is a sign of slovenliness to me, even if you paid $50 for them. It obviously doesn't mean that to others. Simply taking the socks off would be better than those sandals and socks above. It is just a pet peeve of mine that hits a nerve.

With that being said, it doesn't affect my dining experiences. What you are wearing doesn't impact me....unless you are wearing a urine soaked rag that I can smell.

I also don't mind men wearing flip flops to the dining room. These are acceptable. If you wore them with a dark pair of jeans and a shirt, it's fine with me. This look is not classy either, but it is a YUGE step up from sandals and socks...As you can see, I am very lax too. But socks and sandals are were I draw the line.

You have to believe everything you read here as gospel fact first. In this case as most on here at the most we only have 50% of some type of fact, you decide how much of that you want go by.

I believe. I have had rude people "help" me before on cruises

But if someone else had bothered to report them before you then you might have had excellent service.

A slap on a wrist is sometimes just that. YMMV.

This may help. It is a photo of the Summit tied up to King's Wharf and the Breakaway tied to Heritage Wharf. There is a ramp perpendicular to the wharves which go to shore (lower right corner of photo):

Thanks. It does. I was wildly confused...

How do you view the NCL Brand?

How would you rate the food? Entertainment? Shows? Value? Service?

Do you see it as a low end, mid tier, or upper crust brand?

What are some particular reasons you choose NCL over its competitors? Is it your go to cruise line you check out first when booking a cruise?

Feel free to be honest and veer off topic. I will chime in after seeing some of your response so that I don't bias the responses.

How is the food on NCL vs MSC?

You know customer service is not the way it used to be. So sad anymore. I get people who call me and they are rude. And there are no numbers available to call back.

I would not let it go either. I would have been questioning that person further myself. So sorry you were treated that way.

I agree with this.

With that being said, complaining doesn't really help imo. I have had SERIOUS issues come up with another CL. In this situation, at most they talk to the employee and apologize to you. In the end, you just waste your vacation time talking to them by telling them your situation and then receiving an apology. That's at least 20 minutes lost.

I remember you from my last cruise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!;);p

Yea. I was in the MDR with my feet kicked up with these fly kicks :cool:

Jk this pic is from google.

We agree to disagree. Sea days we love the brunch. On port days we do not get up before 9, so we always miss the MDR breakfast. We go to the omelet station and get real eggs over medium or scrambled. Sorry, but we find the Lido buffet uncomfortable. Some people are slobs, pile their plate to the top instead of making a second trip, it's way too loud, scrambling to sit at a dirty table, again, it's just not our cup of tea. Don't slam me, it's just our opinion.

I don't mind people being slobs. Doesn't faze me. It's the food in the buffet that isn't good.

And I agree...I will always get fresh eggs...not that stuff that comes in a box that they put out....

All the insults in this thread alone based on nothing more than an article of clothing someone wears and you think those wearing brand names are the ones without class?

They aren't meant to be insults. I just don't think this is dressy. Spending a lot of money on something doesn't make it dressy/classy. It just doesn't. I mean, in what world are these dressy or classy at all? This is just common sense here, not insults. Please don't misinterpret my intent.

Yes, there is a doctor on board Xpedition.

(y) I wouldn't get on any cruise ship w/o a doc onboard. I don't have any Xped class booked yet. Maybe in the future?

If this is your main concern, and given the itinerary of the cruise, I recommend that you call Celebrity with your questions. If the general numbers cannot provide you with your answers there is a Special Needs Department that you can call.

Naw I was just wondering

Probably Compazine.

:eek: I was thinking ondansetron

The ferry is not to get from the ship to land. The ferry and buses are how you get from the Royal Navel Dockyard to other more interesting parts of Bermuda. Ferry's run to Hamilton nd St. George's.

OH! :') I'm so smart.

I thought I had to pay 4.75 to disembark via a ferry. It wasn't until the later posts that I realized that it wasn't the case.

If some how one person in a room is sick, but the other by shear stroke of luck isn't, do they give the other person who isn't quarantined a new room?
