txflood33 Posted May 11, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I'm curious about tattoos in Celebrity's dress code. I would be surprised if there were a no tattoo policy in 2014. There is a pool area/sun bathing area. But what about restaurants or bars or the casino? What if I'm wearing a pair of jeans and a short sleeve button down shirt and tattoos are still visible? What is Celebrity's view on that? Not talking the main dining room or places that require a suit.....could I wear a pair of khaki shorts and a short sleeve shirt in the casino? If so, I would have 1 partial and 1 full tattoo showing....issues? Nothing obscene....muppets and music. Just curious to what the rule...written or unwritten....is and what other cruisers might think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisyloo Posted May 11, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) I doubt there is any rule about passengers with tattoos. You see lots of them everywhere you go. We have sailed Princess and HAL and seen them on every cruise. I doubt Celebrity is any different. . Edited May 11, 2014 by Daisyloo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted May 11, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 11, 2014 There is no tattoo policy and in my view there shouldn't be one. What we need are clear policies, enforceable ones, and enforcement of the existing ones. Don't burden the staff with new restrictions to watch out for.

dodger1964 Posted May 11, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 11, 2014 There is no policy for tattoos. You will be fine anywhere on the ship. Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txflood33 Posted May 11, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Not trying to offer up more restrictions, but trying to follow rules and pack appropriately From what I have read, Celebrity is a little dressier....it's not Carnival with swim suits and flip flops in every section of the ship.I have also read here about many things that seem to annoy/irritate or just generally make other uncomfortable. I know how much I paid for my cruise, so I can assume yours was comparable. I love my ink and love to show it off...but I also have no issue wearing a pair of jeans if it helps the relaxation of a few. It's minor in the grand scheme of things.

koolforkatz Posted May 11, 2014 #6 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I have a tattoo that's visible when I wear certain outfits and have never given it a thought. You will see lots of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one will even notice and if someone did view you in a negative way...well just consider the source! Go and enjoy your Cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A1A Posted May 11, 2014 #10 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I read that recently Celebrity has banned the display of Fun Ship Freddy or any other Carnival logo from all it's Cruises. ;) Have a great Cruise! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted May 11, 2014 #11 Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) Celebrity doesn't have any "Tatoo Rules". If they are visible? So what? Most of the time, isn't that the point? I don't have any and could care less if others do and even though there are things the cruiseline could improve on, having a rule about tatoos is not one of them.

Yellowfurbaby Posted May 11, 2014 #12 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I'm not fond of tattoos personally. However no way should there rules about them.!!!

Cruise ships are there for people to have fun They are fun and that is why so many people sail on them. I'm curious, what other public places have you been too where you are not allowed to have visible tattoos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's surprising to me that anyone would be disappointed it someone's desire to find an answer to a question. My job is in a public place...I can't have visible tattoos....yes, I know it's a little different scenario Maybe my question was worded poorly and should have been more directed around shorts in the casino and such. I have seen different answers and descriptions for dress code on the Celebrity line. I have seen pants(jeans/slacks/khakis) are required in the evening...and here I see cruise ships are here to have fun... have fun and be comfortable........I'm comfortable in shorts and chuck taylors and a Pink Floyd shirt, but that's not ok in the main dining room. I personally don't care what others think of my ink. I didn't get it for them. I asked to make sure I can go with what I signed up for and at the same time not cause any unwarranted stress for other passengers, not so up with the times of body art.

Nice of you to consider the "Old Biddy Committee" who post a lot on the CC boards. However, in spite of how it may appear, Cruise Critic posters are a very small percentage of people actually on board the ship. You'll see lots of ink on other pax, including me, if we are on the same ship. Have a great cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted May 11, 2014 #16 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Hi:)...I look at it this way...if someone else is stressing over your ink? It is definitely their problem, not yours. I think no matter what line you cruise on~ There are going to be folks that are "not up with the times"...... And as for the shorts in the casino? Definitely allowed;) been allowed for years and years...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bar_20 Posted May 11, 2014 #17 Share Posted May 11, 2014 It's funny because we just got off a 28 day cruise from Sydney to Vancouver with a stop in Honolulu with a change of passengers. On the Sydney to Honolulu portion 2/3 of the passengers were from Australia and we also spent four days in Sydney and saw very few tattoos on the Aussies. Not until we got to Honolulu and most of the Aussies left and the majority of the passengers were now Americans did we see lots of tattoos. Tattoos don't bother me, I could care less. I will say I did not see one visible tattoo on the cruise lines employees so it matters to them that visible tattoos are not shown. No entertainment dancers or singers had visible tattoos either.

LOL, I refer to the CC boards in general, not this particular thread, or Celebrity. C'mom now, if you read enough, and you clearly do with all those posts, you have to admit that the OBC does exist. Seems every line has a few. Some posts, you can almost see the poster pursing their lips like an annoyed school librarian. OP referred to reading that others' appearance concern some.

caladezi Posted May 11, 2014 #24 Share Posted May 11, 2014 The only restriction that I know of on X for tattoos is that if they are on private parts of your body they should not be on display in the MDR!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ghstudio Posted May 11, 2014 #25 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Celebrity does, however, have a policy on their staff having tatoos. We had a wonderful bartender that wore a wrist protector. Chatting, we asked if she had hurt her wrist. She said that she wore it because she had a tattoo and that wasn't permitted by Celebrity. As far as those of you with "ink", if you've got it, flaunt it now because I hope you've considered your look when you get to the "old biddie" stage.
