mcd2745 Posted August 12, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Bowing to guest demands and preferences, Disney Cruise Line now officially says that shorts are allowed in their MDRs. Does RCCL eventually join them? In a related note, the world didn't end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fergusonvt Posted August 12, 2013 #2 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I like the way NCL does it. One MDR (the larger) requires pants and collared shirts. The smaller MDR does not. This allows those wanting to remain in shorts to have the same menu as those that prefer to dress up keeping everyone happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sight of hairy legs in there might be too much for some people to handle!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachChik Posted August 12, 2013 #4 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Funny thing too is that IMO the Disney ships dining rooms are much nicer than what we saw on carnival and royal. If this is really true that they have decided to officially allow shorts I think it's just a sign of the times. With cruises, especially to the Caribbean, more and more people want to be casual. One thing always discussed is that no shorts but capri's are ok. I have never understood this. Number one Capri's look terrible on most people (yes this is just my opinion) and number two I fail to see how capri's are more dressy than shorts.

Alas, I wear them anyway. Plus they are mostly a woman thing. I've seen only a few men that can pull off that look. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsmeeker Posted August 13, 2013 #18 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Mickey is usually shown wearing shorts. Great! Another reason not to sail DCL. Does that mean it's OK to do the reverse and go Donald Duck style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MommaBear55 Posted August 13, 2013 #19 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Does that mean it's OK to do the reverse and go Donald Duck style? Well maybe Daisy Dukes would be a good compromise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calliopecruiser Posted August 13, 2013 #21 Share Posted August 13, 2013 In a related note, the world didn't end. LOL! I personally don't care what people wear to dinner in the MDR - reception-hall style dining is never "fine dining", IMO, and there's no fancy atmosphere to maintain.

Rare Hlitner Posted August 13, 2013 #23 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I am wondering how long we can just go to the MDR nude. Think about it. We have gone from Tuxes and Long Gowns, to Jeans, to shorts. This would fit into some cruise line activity schedules as they could have the hairy chest contest right in the MDR :) Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I would be wearing clothes (maybe shorts), seeing others nude would keep me from overeating at dinner. And of course the ship photographers would be going from table to table taking pictures like usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
