  1. If we were the exception, fair point, but the first time we went there was a woman in there with ripped jeans - hardly formal! Another evening when we were waiting to go into Chic opposite, there was a man waiting in the queue wearing shorts & a short sleeve shirt!

    Before we went, I had seen various forum threads indicating that jackets were provided for those men who didn't have them hence he didn't take one. If RCI were strict, didn't supply jackets, & turned away everyone who didn't comply with the formal rules of attire I wouldn't have a problem with this, but as it was my husband looked more formal without a jacket than many people in there.

  2. We ate in the Grande twice on our recent cruise. My hubby wouldn't take a jacket on holiday but did wear smart trousers, shirt (with cuff links) & a tie. The first time nothing was mentioned and we were directed straight to our table. The second time he was asked to carry a jacket (which they gave him) to the table, which he handed back to them on our way out. So I wouldn't worry about taking a jacket as long as you are wearing a smart shirt, tie & trousers.

  3. We got off Anthem on Saturday. We only ate in the complimentary restaurants (didn't try Silk) & the food was very good. We also ate in the Windjammer a few evenings & apart from the first night, when the food wasn't very hot, the food was good there too. Food is very subjective, and what is good for one person may not be good for someone else, but I'd be back on board tomorrow if I had the chance!

  4. We were on the same cruise but never had more than a 5 minute wait for a table in the evening (never went there for breakfast or lunch). We didn't make reservations & just turned up at various times between 7.30 and 8.30. Don't know if it was because there was just 3 of us, or if we were just lucky? On all but 1 occasion our waiters were Oldrun & Saheez & they were excellent - very attentive!

  5. We've just finished a cruise on Vision & booked an end of cruise trip before we went (not this one but another tour) to kill time before our flight which wasn't until 5.30pm from MIA.

    Two days before the end of the cruise we were informed that all of the end of cruise tours had been cancelled due to lack of interest, so be prepared to have an alternative means of getting to the airport just in case.

    Luckily we were able to book the ship to airport transfer (even though it was after the last date notified in the Cruise Compass) but we were at MIA by 10.30am so a very long wait!
