Disconnections Posted September 7, 2014 #127 Share Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) called carnival...they said this was not true..Well,drat,I liked the idea. My food will taste the same,dressed up or not!!! just my opinion. Of course, because representatives at the call center even know what a cruise ship is... They know all the answers. They're just different every time you call. Edited September 7, 2014 by Disconnections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landonsnanny Posted September 7, 2014 #128 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I am sure many of us have seen shorts in the DR on Elegant Night as the dress code often is not enforced. It does not bother me if people wear nice shorts. I was questioning whether it was actually printed in the Fun Times and was in fact a new policy. It appears that the dress code printed on their website (no shorts on Elegant Night) is still the official policy. I would doubt any Cruise Director would independently change this policy and print that change it in the Fun Times. Well,the idea was fun while it lasted.lol Everyone have a great cruise!!!!

ETinCA Posted September 7, 2014 #129 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Pathetic is reading "I counted 40+ people with shorts". Really? Enjoyed dinner eh. Don't people have better things to worry about like themselves? Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little951 Posted September 7, 2014 #130 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Personally our group loves the elegant nights... it harkens back to a much more civilized time, I think that's something we need more of in the world. The world of manners, of please, and thank you's. I know we're all on a cruise as a vacation, and I wear shorts 90% of the time on the boat as well (except when we did Alaska!), but the MDR should be a step up. You wouldn't dress like a slob going to a decent restaurant on land, nor should you on the ship. Again, just an opinion and everyone is entitled to their own... this is just mine.

And this from someone who's an apparent grammar cop.... see the signature line. Would have figured you would have appreciated the "more civilized" comment since you're educating the masses on the correct use of "their, they're and there" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehpride Posted September 7, 2014 #143 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Dress shorts were turned away on Freedom last week. Interesting. Hopefully , people aren't packing based off this given that the dress code on carnival's website still excludes shorts.
