Rare Presto2 Posted August 7, 2012 #4 Share Posted August 7, 2012 A definite - no ! We didn't find Celebrity that 'fancy' compaired to P&O & even they didn't ask for a jacket other than on formal nights so don't worry - have a great time :):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkjretired Posted August 7, 2012 #5 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Technically on formal nights you are not supposed to wear a Sport coat as the dress code calls for a Tux, suit or a dinner jacket. Many think that a dinner jacket is a sport coat however it definitely is not. Realistically, you will not be denied entry to the MDR with a sport coat. The other nights in the MDR it is pants and a collared shirt, no jacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The simple answer is NO jacket required in the MDR (except for formal nights).:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtravel Posted August 8, 2012 #7 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Jackets are nice. However, on my last cruise, I saw men without jackets on formal night. The only thing that was not allowed was shorts in the MDR. If you really want to avoid formal attire, you can eat at the buffet or in a specialty dining room.

leonardofan Posted August 8, 2012 #9 Share Posted August 8, 2012 At our table on the Century on my last cruise there was an unspoken consensus that the quality of the meal called for coat and tie every night-- why is sloppy a good thing???? Sometimes people sound like schoolkids trying to see what teachers will let them get away with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes people sound like schoolkids trying to see what teachers will let them get away with. I would hardly call dressy casual 'sloppy'. I will agree that some push the envelope a bit, but the vast majority follow the guidelines and the men dress very nicely in most people's opinion. I don't see following the guidelines as trying to get away with something and not sure why anyone would describe it that way? If you prefer being strangled by a tie every night no one is stopping you, but no reason to put down people following the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes people sound like schoolkids trying to see what teachers will let them get away with. Not on our cruises ---- I wear a jacket on formal nights, and for the first one I usually wear a tie. A jacket and tie is fine every night, if that's what you want to do. You'll see very few on any night but formal :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A jacket and tie is fine every night, if that's what you want to do. You'll see very few on any night but formal :) Hi Jim & Allison: I couldn't have said it better. I will wear a tie the first formal night and see how I feel for the last formal night. My "sports" coat cost me more than any suit that I have bought over the past 40 years. I wore a tie and suit for 40 years, we had casual Fridays, but being an executive, I was never that casual. Since my retirement, all but 1 suit has been given away(a black one for funerals) and it's sports jacket and maybe a tie if the event is befitting of one(lol)!:) Have a great Sail: Gary & Norine Bermuda Aug 26th Summit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes people sound like schoolkids trying to see what teachers will let them get away with. I find the quality of the meal & service very nice in Blu... & it calls for neither coat nor tie... on any night, :) same goes for the entire ship & all restaurants, except for the MDR on formal night. Hope no one is sloppy, especially not me.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
