Smart casual and casual on Carnival basically mean wear whatever you want.

My hubby doesn't like to dress up much. Regular nights he wears nice jeans, polo type shirt and nice tennis shoes. Formal nights he wears a button up shirt, tie, dress pants, nice cowboy boots. We see very few dressed super formal.

On non Elegant nights, you can wear nice jeans or nice shorts with a nice shirt. Meaning no holes, clean, etc.

 

On Elegant nights just a pair of nice pants/slacks and a collared shirt. No suit/tie is needed.

 

During the day, it's a free-for-all.

as far as "smart casual" think of what you would wear to a VERY NICE resort.

for a man khacki dockers and a nice shirt with a collar.

Shorts for dinner probably dont meet the definition.

Do some people wear shorts to dinner? Perhaps, but shorts dont meet the general definition of smart casual.

 

Before i get slammed, let me say that i LOVE to wear shorts, just not when the dress code request smart casual.

 

Enjoy your cruise, i would add that dressing up a bit for dinner is part of the fun and makes everything feel a little more special.

Wear kinda what you want, within reason....no wifebeater shirts or cutoffs or flip flops. Nice jeans or shorts with collar shirt perfectly acceptable. I think even nice t-shirts, I've seen.

 

My husband usually wears suit on elegant night, and slacks (khakis) with polo style shirt the other nights.

 

Be comfortable and have a great time!!

I stopped bringing a suit a long time ago :D

Can men get away with a nice sweater & khakis for elegant night?

[Shaded Lady]

Yes, a nice sweater and khakis is perfectly acceptable for elegant night.

I probably dress a little nicer than most men in the evening, but I have gotten over my sloppy phase a long time ago. And DW and I deplore the way that people have regressed to being downright slovenly these days.

 

In the evening I wear nice slacks and a more dressy Aloha shirt. On Elegant night, I wear my tuxedo.

 

And the answer is yes, khakis and a nice sweater is acceptable for Elegant night. Acceptable and right are often two different things to my way of thinking.:(

What you intend to pack is perfectly fine for elegant and casual nights. You will see many men wearing jeans with polos or cargo shorts on casual nights. Enjoy your cruise!

I wear cargo shorts, sneakers and a polo or similar on casual nights... Dress pants, collared shirt and tie( the tie is only to appease the wife) on formal nights, no jacket.

You're in luck with the shorts since Carnival doesn't have smart casual. :)
