nana of 3 Posted December 29, 2011 #1 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I have got 2 polos and 1 dress shirt/tie for him for our cruise. We have one more night in the MDR, would it be ok for him to just wear a dressy striped t-shirt with khakis or do I need to find another polo? Thanks, for the info in advance :) Also, are longer shorts appropiate for him in the MDR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitty9 Posted December 29, 2011 #2 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I think a nine year old is old enough to follow the dress code, so that means shorts at dinner isn't really appropriate. Shorts for breakfast and lunch is OK in the MDR. But you really don't need to add another shirt. What you already have sounds just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nana of 3 Posted December 29, 2011 Author #3 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Thanks, I will just have him wear the dressy t then with the khakis and no shorts :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted December 29, 2011 #4 Share Posted December 29, 2011 If he doesn't spill, he can rewear a shirt twice...no one will notice or care! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipmaster Posted December 31, 2011 #6 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Kahki and shirt/tie or polo will be fine. Shorts will be stretching a bit and YMMV for a 9 year old.

Rare Gail & Marty sailing away Posted December 31, 2011 #8 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I think it will work..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebr.cruiser Posted December 31, 2011 #9 Share Posted December 31, 2011 It all sounds good. I agree that shorts are not the best choice and he can probably wear the polo shirts more than one night, as well as the khakis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Kat Posted December 31, 2011 #10 Share Posted December 31, 2011 If there are two formal nights, he can just wear the dress shirt/tie combo a second time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebr.cruiser Posted January 1, 2012 #11 Share Posted January 1, 2012 If there are two formal nights, he can just wear the dress shirt/tie combo a second time. I agree. With grandsons 9 & 11 last year, they each had one dress shirt and tie. The 11 year old loved wearing the tie so much he wore it almost every night (5 night cruise). I think it made him feel grown-up. Since he changed right after dinner, the shirt and tie weren't on that long any one night. Unless they have a truly spectacular messy food spill, that's all they need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
