padrek Posted May 23, 2013 #1 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hi Will someone please tell me what the dress code is for dinner in both the MDR and the Steakhouse? It certainly would be easier to find out if Carnival, like every other cruise line, issued a brochure. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missypriss19 Posted May 23, 2013 #2 Share Posted May 23, 2013 The MDR is called cruise casual. No bathing suits or running shorts. Everything else okay. I believe the steakhouse is a little better but not like cruise elegant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frayedend Posted May 23, 2013 #3 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Casual attire is the order of the day. We suggest shorts, sundresses, tank tops, etc. for the ladies, and for men; shorts, polo shirts, T-shirts, etc. will do. We suggest you wear rubber-soled, low heeled or flat shoes for extra traction while onboard. The use of any footwear with wheels, including but not limited, to Heelys© shoes, is prohibited on board our ships. For dining you may want to dress up a bit and/or bring along a light sports jacket or cardigan. Most evenings we have a Cruise Casual dress code, but there are those Cruise Elegant evenings one or two nights throughout your “Fun Ship” voyage, where you will have the opportunity to showcase your more elegant attire. For those who want casual attire for dinner time, the Lido Restaurant is open nightly, and has a more relaxed theme. However, shirts and shoes/footwear (flip-flops) must be worn at all times inside the Lido Restaurant. Both dress codes for the dining rooms are described below. 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. Special Sailings For Canada/New England/Alaska cruises: Sweaters, lightweight jackets and raincoats are suggested. Casual clothes that can be layered easily are highly recommended. Bring a heavier sweater if you are traveling to the glaciers, along with a raincoat and umbrella, because it is often cold and windy in such areas. For South America and Europe cruises: Comfortable shoes and a just-in-case raincoat. Bring a sweater if you are traveling to the glaciers, along with a raincoat and umbrella, because it is often cold and windy in such areas. Special note: It is essential that you wear the proper apparel when visiting the Vatican and other religious sites (no bare legs or shoulders).

Why? Geez!!!!' Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It's not important to me at all. I just consider the source. I know times have changed, but I don't think it's to much to ask that a gentleman remove his baseball cap at a dinner table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kml2000 Posted May 24, 2013 #16 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Oh my.... I agree about the baseball caps at dinner in the MDR. I have concluded I have become an old fuddy duddy. I just think it is respectful to take a hat off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
