Welcome to CruiseCritic!

We are fairly new here, too.

 

However, you've posted this on the Norwegian Cruise Line forum.

 

You'll get more direct feedback/answers if you post this on the Royal Caribbean Line forum.

 

And ENJOY that first cruise!

What exactly is a waistcoat? I don't think that is a term most Americans are familiar with? If a waistcoat is what we call a vest, then it is not formal enough most likely. Personally, from what I have seen on RC in the Caribbean, a jacket or blazer with tie would be acceptable on formal night. A few men will wear a tuxedo.

you call it a vest - the button up sleeveless part under a suit jacket

A waistcoat is what you call a vest and a vest is what we call a male or female torso covering undergarment. We also call pants trousers as pants are what you wear under your trousers.

 

So to clarify in the UK a vest and pants are a set of undergarments which one would wear trousers, shirt and waistcoat over.

Haha! I spent time with some friends from the UK. I just love the differences!!! "knickers" is my new favorite word! Lol

 

Also: biscuits / scones / cookies!!! What a hoot it was when my friend said "these are salty scones" but we called them biscuits! Lol

Got to love it!

Our friends from the UK laughed out loud, then took closeup pictures of themselves with the menu from the seafood restaurant with the special that night: "Steamers!"

 

Evidently where they are from "steamers" are not steamed clams!
