Dress code on Triplets


Capri73

Recommended Posts

FWIW-the new, massive 148 page 2012-2013 Seabourn Cruise Collection doesn't have a single photo of a male guest/model in formal wear and only a couple of photos of men wearing jackets with open collar shirts. Everything else is "laid back/casual." Clearly this is Seabourn's marketing message going forward and a "newbie" relying on this brochure as well as the brochure's bare-bones "Packing Tips" would be very surprise to find "1/3" of the ship dressed formally or in suits and ties.

Yes it is odd.The guests on any particular cruise will dictate the dress code.Some trips are very dressy and others are not.

I am not bothered what others wear as long as I feel comfortable with what I wear,and ofcourse I always do.

Just off a 2 week back to back on the Legend in the Western Med.

 

Almost everyone looked nice every night. There was no confusion about the dress code. There were Americans, Australians, Canadians, Europeans, Russians, and Latinos on board. They all dressed nicely, but only the Americans looked like Americans!

 

On the formal optional night (1 each week), I'd guess 25% of the men wore a tuxedo; 25% wore dark suits; and nearly 50% wore sport coats with ties.

 

Men will be fine with any of the three. It does not have to be a formal experience.

 

I'd also estimate that well over half of the passengers were under 60 making for a youthful demographic. We heard the longer Asia and South America cruises, for example, are more formal.

Thank you for confirming the Dress Code onboard.

What does it mean to "look" American?
