Main dining room attire...............

[nittany44720]

I just wanted some clarification about wearing shorts in the MDR. I thought I saw something about shorts not being permitted in the MDR. Is that accurate?

[Banditswife]

No, not accurate. Shorts are permitted on non elegant nights. Just not cut offs or tank tops, but honestly, have never seen anyone turned away.

Gym shorts are not permitted in the MDR.

NOT true. Gym shorts are not permitted on ANY night. So some shorts are permitted and some are not.

Can you wear a cover up over a (dry) bathing suit in the MDR for breakfast? Also I understand on the Splendor if you have YTD you have dinner in the black pearl...can you have breakfast and lunch at any MDR? Thanks!

A cover up should be fine. Only the black pearl is open for brunch.

Only one dining room is open for breakfast and lunch and the dining room is only open for lunch on sea days. Your Fun Times will list which dining room it will be.

What about kid's attire? I don't think my kids will want to dress up every night for dinner. Shorts and nice shirts OK?

[YaWk3Y_BoMb3r]

I wore khaki shorts, polo/button-up, and flops to dinner about every night except elegant night.

This is fine on non-elegant nights... However, on the elegant nights no shorts are allowed even for kids... On my last cruise a month ago on the pride, I did see a child turned away on elegant night with shorts.. Obviously, sometimes a ship may let it go, but it does happen that even kids are turned away on elegant night

Honestly they really have no rules about it, they may say all that stuff, but they definitely do not enforce it.

It must depend on the ship and maître d' - was on the Victory for feb reading week and saw plenty of shorts and tshirts in the main dining room on casual AND elegant night

Yes you can do this. I always were a cover up with my bathing suit in the MDR for breakfast on port days, however, since mine is on the short side I do throw on a pair of shorts also..:D

Sorry if this was answered, I didn't read though all of the responses.... I read shorts are fine on NON formal nights... I have a question about this though.. I bought my son (10 yr old) khaki shorts to wear with a nice button down shirt for dinner.. are Khaki shorts ok on formal nights, at least for a kid?? :confused:

[awhcruiser]

No.

Just because it says no gym shorts does not mean people don't wear them and get served.

 

It's just a rule and as we all know,Carnival does not enforce many of them.

Your son is only 10. The outfit you bought for him will be just fine.

Enjoy your cruise!

As I said above, a month ago, I saw a kid get turned away from the MDR on elegant night wearing shorts... You can certainly try to have him wear shorts however, if you get turned away dont be suprised... It will depend on the ship, whether they enforce the rules or not.. sometimes they do, and sometimes they dont..

Same on Conquest for President's Week. Tank tops on men and women, cut-off jean shorts, etc. were allowed in on casual nights. Also saw t-shirts, tanks and basketball shorts allowed in on elegant night.

From what I have experienced Carnival sometimes and sometimes does not enforce this policy.
