Yeah, ROTFL is a common one but what does PRINCESSTHE BEST’s “WHATSR” mean?

There are some of us who do not care at all about the “full Cunard experience.” We are only looking for a great accommodation with a butler, reasonably decent food and transportation. If the itinerary fits our needs and wants great and we will not spoil your formal occasions by enjoying our suite..
ROTFL!

If you travel in a Britannia stateroom, you will have a lovely place for dinner in the Britannia Dining room and all the other pleasures of the ship. If you wish to enhance your voyage you have choices like Club and the Grills. This is in my mind no different that having classes on an airplane, where you pay a bit more and get a bit more. Folk who find this offensive, can certainly find a lot of other cruising options.
I agree! We usually travel Britannia class but never begrudge fellow pax who travel in more expensive cabins. Why should we? You get what you’re prepared to pay for and we’ve been more than happy so far.

On dry land evening dress at the opera and theatre has passed from de rigeur to optional to not at all. Smart casual now seems to be the most popular. Surely Cunard have or will follow suit!
The more relaxed atmosphere on Regent and Seaboard is much to enjoy and they are smart casual almost all the time except for the very occasional formal optional which does not seem a problem for most passengers.
LMAO! I certainly hope Cunard sticks with the traditional route! We love it! We’ve sailed with other lines and have enjoyed those cruises too but we still keep coming back to Cunard. There are so many different types of cruise lines, surely everyone can find the style they like and leave one line for us traditionalists!

Of course you can get away with not following the dress code but how rude is that to your fellow passengers who book Cunard because and not in spite of its formality. As my fellow Cunarders have said, there are plenty of more casual cruise lines!

Where we live suits aren't very common even for weddings or funerals--not that one isn't perfectly acceptable, just not the norm. Shirt and tie and slacks, or with or without a blazer, or often not even a tie. We don't wear just black at funerals either.
Shhh! Don’t tell my husband or he’ll be heading your way! Lol! Get yours a suit in the sales. Then start travelling with Cunard all the time! Guess you’ll have the best dressed guy in town! Lol! X

Looks like my guy will be buying a new suit if we go Cunard. That's really all I wanted to know. Now if I could just get him to lose those pesky pounds! But I believe this is something everyone has to come to on their own.
Now my husband has retired he has the bare minimum of formal wear. A tuxedo - which he loathes but looks fabulous in - a charcoal grey suit - for weddings and funerals (more of the later these days) and the good old blazer! We take all three on the Cunard cruises as we live near Southampton. As Cunard relaxed the tuxedo only on formal nights we did ditch the tux last year as we flew over to see family in the States and returned on the QM2. He didn’t look or feel out of place at all. Forget the diet - life’s too short! Get the dark suit - there’ll always be funerals! LMAO!

At Men's Wearhouse, DH found himself happily at the mercy of a very good saleswoman and ended up getting a tux plus and even a new belt, for more than he supposedly wanted to part with. Since rural upstate NY doesn't offer too many opportunities to wear tuxes (local Cornell Co-op Extension dinner?), we'll just have to go on more Cunard cruises. :rolleyes: LOL!
Thanks for all the great suggestions - they would have been more useful if things hadn't been postponed until 10 days before they were needed. sigh...
🤣

Don't forget the formal afternoon teas! The whole charming ritual is a must at least once in every Cunard cruise. Immaculate, white gloved staff parade into the ballroom bearing trays of finger sandwiches, mini patisserie and the obligatory scones. Pots of tea circulate and champagne may be bought. Background music is usually provided by a harpist or string quartet. I love the ceremony of the event even though I pass on the scones! Lol!

Altho-- you do know-- Right ?? there's not much weather that is going to make you wear shorts or swim suits on a T/A crossing.
Just what I was thinking! Captain Wells describes the Atlantic as the real 50 shades of grey! Lol!
