repo-cruiser Posted September 22, 2011 #26 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I say go for it. It is not against the dress code that Carnival has. If other people do not like what you are wearing, who cares? Excuse me, you need to go and read the dress code...How many t-shirts have a collar, you have to wear shirts WITH a collar..I guess in Arkansas t-shirt are formal and have a collar....DennisThere is no formal night on Carnival, why the need to discriminate on where they are from?:confused: I mean if you said from New York I would understand.

chihomg Posted September 23, 2011 Author #29 Share Posted September 23, 2011 If you look like the guy in the picture posted on special weight solid color v's and very hip new dark jeans , belt and shoes/boots..I'd say go for it, but have another option..the Enrique Iglesias look without the hat in the dining room..LOL Here in Montana there are many black tie and blue jean events that are a look i am noticing is more mainstream...new dark jeans, dress vests with those t-shirts now instead of dress western shirts and ties for the 'metrosexual' Montanan as opposed to the Cowboy Montanan..LOL..i bet if done right it could work for dress casual even. See picture 4... leave out hoodie and make t-shirt dark. http://www.whosdatedwho.com/tpx_55/enrique-iglesias/styles metrosexual montanan had me laughing for a good minute!

auntdodaa Posted September 23, 2011 #31 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Excuse me, you need to go and read the dress code...How many t-shirts have a collar, you have to wear shirts WITH a collar..I guess in Arkansas t-shirt are elegant and have a collar....Dennis Actually you need to be the one that needs to go and read the dress code. The only time that t-shirts are forbidden are on formal nights. It does not say that shirts with collars are manditory, but it does state plain as day that they only time t-shirts are forbidden are on formal night. Cruise Casual Dining Dress Code: Gentlemen - Sport slacks, khakis, jeans (no cut-offs), dress shorts (long), collared sport shirts; Ladies - Casual dresses, casual skirts or pants and blouses, summer dresses, Capri pants, dress shorts, jeans (no cut-offs). Not permitted in the dining room during the Cruise Casual dinner for ladies and gentlemen: shorts, gym shorts, basketball shorts, beach flip-flops, bathing suit attire, cut-off jeans, sleeveless shirts for men and baseball hats. Cruise Elegant Dining Dress Code: Gentlemen - Dress slacks, dress shirts. We also suggest a sport coat. If you wish to wear suits and ties or tuxedos, by all means we invite you to do so. Ladies - Cocktail dresses, pantsuits, elegant skirts and blouses; if you‘d like to show off your evening gowns, that's great too! Not permitted in the dining room during the Cruise Elegant dinner for ladies and gentlemen: shorts, gym shorts, T-shirts, beach flip-flops, bathing suit attire, jeans, cut-off jeans, sleeveless shirts for men, sportswear, and baseball hats. Now to comment on the Arkansas remark. UMMM, Collierville, TN is not any different than Jonesboro AR. I lived there until a few years ago. And I can say with complete confidence that I am less of a redneck than you. Only a redneck would feel the need to criticize someone because of where they currently live or to worry if someone else is wearing a t-shirt in a dining room Diana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudechuck Posted September 23, 2011 #32 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I guess the correct answer to the original question(s) is "yes" and "yes." Yes, you may wear your t-shirt to the dining room. Yes, you will stick out like a sore thumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikel24m Posted September 23, 2011 #33 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Will not stick out like a sore thumb .Most that do dress according to guidlines look horrible ( but nice in their eyes) and order multiple entrees ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scperk Posted September 23, 2011 #36 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Cruise Casual Dining Dress Code: Gentlemen - Sport slacks, khakis, jeans (no cut-offs), dress shorts (long), collared sport shirts; Ladies - Casual dresses, casual skirts or pants and blouses, summer dresses, Capri pants, dress shorts, jeans (no cut-offs). Right in the middle of the dress code for casual night it says COLLARED SPORTS SHIRTS...Thank you very much for pulling that up...In my opionion there are lots of ME generation people cruising that don't really care if there is a dress code......Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vamartha Posted September 23, 2011 #42 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I guess the correct answer to the original question(s) is "yes" and "yes." Yes, you may wear your t-shirt to the dining room. Yes, you will stick out like a sore thumb. I think the answer is yes and no! There were plenty of T-Shirts in the MDR for Non-Elegant dinner each night on the Legend a few weeks ago. DH wore a T-Shirt for a couple of those and did not stick out like a sore thumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOSN Posted September 23, 2011 #43 Share Posted September 23, 2011 A nice tux-T says, I want to be formal, but I'm here to party.:D Yup, we had a guy on the Glory with a "T" shirt that had a picture of a black collar, black short sleeves, and of course a black neck tie (not a bow tie). His "T" shirt did not have the line for a ruffle shirt either. He was also wearing blue jean cut-off (not hemmed) shorts, and a "NY Yankees" baseball cap on sideways :eek:. Just an observation, nt a complaint. I'm old school, and do find his appearal incorrect choice, but I will not let it ruin our dinner or cruise. I think part of the attire problem may be the fact that "Carnival" bieng the "FUN :)" ship(s), does not want to offend their cruisers (paying customers). This is only one of the so called Carnival rules not being , or only laxly enforced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure it doesn't look like a ratty old undershirt. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolimont Posted September 23, 2011 #46 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I saw a heavily tattooed young man who was wearing a tank top in the MDR, not only that, it looked like the old "wife beaters". Thankfully he put on a button-down shirt for formal night, no tie, but I was grateful for the effort anyway. I don't care about t-shirts, I just don't want to see people's chest hair and tattoos while eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katiel53 Posted September 23, 2011 #47 Share Posted September 23, 2011 we did t-shirts EVERY night except cruise-elegant night.....we even wore cargo shorts on our last night...IN the MDR....OMG...can't believe us! anything goes....nobody cares except the snots So, I guess with your thinking that anyone who dresses as suggested and disagrees with you is a snot huh?

arpie05 Posted September 23, 2011 #50 Share Posted September 23, 2011 There are different types of T-shirts. I have logo t-shirts which I would not wear in the dining room but then I have cotton shirts which by branding are technically a t-shirt but something I do wear in the dining room. I have several from Old Navy in multi colors. I will wear during day with shorts then with Capri's to dinner. Add a funky necklace from the $1 jewelry and black sandals, I am set. Old Navy calls the shirts - Women's Ruched V-Neck Tees. I hope this link works http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=26194&vid=1&pid=507719 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
