"Hawaiian" Shirt in MDR - Jewel of the Seas

[Folsom]

I just want a few opinions about how something will be perceived. I know what the official suggested attire is, but I want to know if this is acceptable in most folks opinion.

 

I am planning on wearing a nice pair of slacks with dress shoes and a button down "Hawaiian" style shirt, that is not tucked in. do you think anyone will take issue with an untucked shirt. I just think they look odd when they are tucked in.

 

Also, I assume that the idea of "Hawaiian" shirts is not frowned upon (they are not too loud).

 

Thanks, for your assistance.

I would wear it, It has a collar so why not. No different then a bright color golf shirt

[Cru1s1ng2009]

I think they are fine

[DragonOfTheSeas]

My husband has a nice Hawaiian shirt he takes along for cruises in the Caribbean. [he never wears it at home] He gets compliments every time he wears it. He will look right at home. You see lots of Hawaiian shirts onboard.

[Sky616]

I do this at least once per cruise. Not on formal nights but any other night is ok.

[George C]

I wear that most nights, unless its formal then I wear a tux.

My husband LOVES the Hawaiian/tropical button-down shirts and he wears one every night in the dining room (except formal nights) with khaki pants. They are comfortable for him and completely acceptable. Enjoy!!:D

Wear what you want. If they give you a bad time, walk past the chair pigs, the kids in the solarium and the guy in the theater reserving 8 seats. Then put on a fancy suit and deposit a huge ketchup stain on the most visible spot

What you are talking about is fine. Of course there are those that think a tux is the only thing that is acceptable in the MDR. I don't see a problem with what you are suggesting.

[Folsom]

Thanks for the input. I was a little dismayed that nice shorts were not allowed, so now you have put my mind at ease.

 

Thanks

My husband has several Tommy Bahama/Hawaiian style shirts and that is pretty much his vacation wardrobe on land and for cruises! He doesn't wear them on Formal night but he too wishes he could wear a nice pair of shorts and sandals too! :) However, he complies with the long pants for dinner. You'll be fine.

for non formal nights DH wears those almost exclusively. these are tone on tone designs, not the loud stuff sold to haoles. those he only wears during the day /in port

 

hell our last cruise he bought a new one in Jamaica and wore it to dinner that night!

I've even worn them on formal night ...

 

 

I was told to look mad.

[Sunny AZ Girl]

My DH also wears them every night except formal night with nice khaki's. He even wears them all the time at home.:rolleyes: No problem.

What you have described is exactly what I wear into the MDR on non-formal nights and always have. You will be fine. :)

I routinely see people being denied entrance to the MDR wearing shorts. they still enforce that, although they stopped enforcing the no jeans rule. and they DEFINITELY do not let you in on Formal night with them.

There is no "no jeans" rule.

 

Not sure what you are referring to that they definitely don't let you in on formal night with. :confused::confused:

 

If not quite Hawaiian shirt, I have a number of button up Tommy Bahama shirts and similar that I regularly wear on cruises. Blend right in. Very comfy.

[cb at sea]

You will be in the majority...lots of men wear their "hawaiian" shirts ..and yes...they should be untucked!!! I think it was pretty obvious that you weren't talking about formal night!

Obviously echoing here, but yes, feel free. DH wears them often on cruises and in fact finds them cooler than t-shirts in ports.

I've always brought a Hawaiian shirt as there's usually a night where the dress suggestion is "casual/tropical"

Yeah. I don't know how often they actually turn people away for wearing shorts. I don't think it's very strictly enforced, and most people are simply respectful enough to not wear shorts. Seems to work out okay.
