zjc Posted December 15, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Hey Just wondering if anyone can advise what the dress code is like in the Yacht Club on MSC Does it follow the suggested dress code of the rest of the ship or does it have a separate dress code? Also, is the dress code on MSC still 'suggested' Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, is the dress code on MSC still 'suggested' Thanks The dress code on all MSC ships is advisory and is published in the daily programme. The dress code is the same throughout the ship. The YC is not a prison you are allowed to escape and mingle with "steerage". So no worries on the dress code.

Also, is the dress code on MSC still 'suggested' Thanks The dress code follows the rest of the ship, however on Formal Nights the people in YC tend to dress more formally (i.e. tux for men). I felt a bit underdressed the on our first cruise in YC so the next one I took evening wear with me. However this was on European and TA cruises, I suspect that on Divina out of Miami it may be more relaxed. I think evening wear is more of a European thing?? Even so, it's nice to dressed up for these occasions. See this thread:- http://boards.cruisecritic.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2430722 :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danbee46 Posted December 15, 2016 #4 Share Posted December 15, 2016 My experience in the YC on formal nights is somewhat different. We have sailed there three times and I haven't seen much difference in what men wear there compared to the rest of the ship. There were only a couple of tuxes, many suits and ties, some with suits and/sport jackets with open collared shirts and one or two men with jeans.

Yes, as I said, probably a more casual attitude on U.S. based cruises. Maybe the Divina should get it's own forum as it seems to differ from the other MSC ships???????:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danbee46 Posted December 16, 2016 #6 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Not a bad idea. I would also like to see the Yacht Club get it's own forum.

zjc Posted December 16, 2016 Author #7 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Thanks for all your comments it's good to understand. Having sailed with Royal over the last 4 years and not MSC I'm use to the very relaxed dress code on Royal Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtaylor Posted December 16, 2016 #8 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Danbee46, Your observation of dress 'code' in the Yacht Club tracks right along with ours. We might have been on the same two Divina cruises this year. :) Seperate forum for YC sounds like a great idea. gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricruiser Posted December 16, 2016 #9 Share Posted December 16, 2016 The dress in the Yacht Club whether on casual or gala evenings is no different from the rest of the ship. Jeans are fine on casual nights and suits or sport jackets the norm for the gala occasions. True formal wear is actually seen less in Yacht Club from what I saw on my two YC cruises.

Just got off the Divina this morning and I would second this post. On our Gala night's, the majority on men were in suits or sports jackets with a couple tux's and a couple of men wearing jeans and a t-shirt.

Safe77 Posted March 21, 2017 #11 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I realize I'm reactivating a year-old thread, but I didn't want to start a new one when much of this concern has been addressed. However, a part that doesn't seem to get much attention: What do women and men who book Yacht Club cabins/suites wear during the day while in the Yacht Club? For men, are dress shorts and golf shirts appropriate? Are dress shorts and t-shirts okay? I've seen a number of photos in which men are wearing slacks and button-down shirts. While I certainly don't want to stand out for under-dressing, I'd hate to make myself conspicuous by over-dressing. Plus, I'll be on vacation, so a break from a daytime suit-and-tie will be great! Also, our cabin is 15021. How will we get up to The One pool deck? Is there an elevator, or will we be taking stairs from the Yacht Club? Is it okay to pass through the Club wearing swim trunks and a t-shirt on the way to the pool? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faze41 Posted March 21, 2017 #12 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Really no different from the rest of the ship. Shorts and T shirts are fine for daytime. From your cabin to the One Pool Deck is easy peasy, walk down the hall and just outside of the Concierge is the elevator up to One Pool (or down to the Spa). Only goes from Deck 14 to Deck 18 for Yacht Club passengers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People's thoughts and reviews of the YC often differ greatly than those of the rest of the ship. I wholeheartedly agree. Why take up the time of others looking for info. It should be a sub-category.

CruisingFox27 Posted February 25, 2018 #15 Share Posted February 25, 2018 DH wore sorts and t shirts during the day. If you are sailing from Miami the dress standard is considerably more casual, even in the evenings than on European sailings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NextStopNRT Posted April 5, 2019 #16 Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) We have a 7-day cruise on the Seaside leaving next Saturday, 13 April 2019, and we're staying in the YC. I really don't want to pack anything formal (sport coats, ties, etc.) Is it really a necessity on a Caribbean cruise? We can go to specialty restaurants on formal nights without formal attire I assume. The dress code would apply only to main dining rooms whether in YC on main part of ship. Correct me if I'm wrong.

TIA No, you do not need formal clothes in the YC or any place else for that matter. Based on my experience in the YC last December, I did not feel out of place wearing the same type of clothes any of seven nights. I did take a tie just encase we decided to get our picture taken. I wore it the last formal night, at least it did not take much room to pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our cruise last year...we saw a man walk in on 2 different nights in shorts!!! So literally no dress code enforcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caribbean cruises you can pretty much dictate what you want to wear. . I have found this on all lines I've cruised stateside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly it is under control of the cruiseline..but most dining room staff tend to ignore and not enforce questionable attire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found this on all lines I've cruised stateside On our recent Caribbean in Preziosa YC we were very surprised at the formality of dinner dressing on both Elegant nights. Many, probably about 25%, men wore Tuxedos and another 25% were in suits. Most of the remainder, like me, wore long sleeve shirts with dress trousers. The ladies, as ever, at least complemented their partners in level of dressing and often exceeded. Not a single guest in the YC restaurant 'dressed down' on any night....by that I mean the minimum was a collared short sleeve shirt, and chinos or equivalent. OK, it wasn't 'stateside' as such because the cruise commenced and ended in Barbados and remained in the Caribbean throughout. The mix of passengers was largely European, many British (500 passengers) and a smaller number of Americans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexddd Posted April 6, 2019 #25 Share Posted April 6, 2019 We were just on and the norm was slacks and shirt for men and dress or slacks for women. Fancy nights people spruced it up a bit. Saw one tux and the guy was cranked with pictures of people in shorts at dinner. Imo shorts not appropriate but I'm not going to get cranked about it. I was just happy Octomom wasn't on letting her kids run around dining room during dinner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
