I would say - based on our recent Med cruise - that tuxes were 50/50 with suits and ties ( with, if course, several proud Scots in kilts).

 

As l said previously, a far higher proportion of folk dressing formally on formal nights on cruises from Southampton.

 

On casual/smart casual nights, jeans and polos fine, and we saw no scruffs, no baseball caps (bill front OR back). Even though it was casual, most people were, shall we say, decently dressed for a casual night.

Thank you, I appreciate that 🙂

Thanks for taking the trouble to write this, after reading the reviews I was concerned - we are booked for the Canaries/Azores cruise and this has put our minds at rest.

Couple questions if I may on Dress code -

Are smart jeans allowed at all in the MDR on casual nights?

Are Polo shirts allowed in the MDR on either casual or smart casual days or does it have to be shirt and tie?

Formal nights - Are the Tux worn by the majority of men or is it mainly suits and ties? I can't decide which to take lol!

Thanks in Advance. 

You're covered by the 144hr rule.

Hi everybody, we've booked our first Far East cruise, Mariner of the Seas sailing from Shanghai in August.

Basically we fly into Shanghai airport from the UK, stay one night in a hotel, join the ship the next day and sail off into the ocean blue to Japan, no more stops in China.

I'm unclear whether we need Visas for China for this trip, or are we covered by the 144 hour policy of exemption?

If so, what documents do we produce at the airport to get through easily?

Thanks in advance

Thank you, will do :)
