sg4crzn Posted February 20, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I know there are many opinions regarding this topic. I cruise another line more frequent and also some Disney cruises. On Freedom of the Seas do men wear nice khaki or dress shorts or jeans with a polo or button shirt? I believe in going to dinner looking proper.

This will be fine on most nights in the MDR/MTD but long pants on formal nights if they are enforcing their "suggestion". Don't worry and stress over this....enjoy your cruise with RCI.

I thought long pants were suggested for every night, not just formal nights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MommaBear55 Posted February 20, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Sign outside the dining room specifically says no shorts at night. However, that doesn't mean some people pay any attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just off Freedom and that's exactly what it said. No shorts. Didn't see any either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted February 21, 2016 #6 Share Posted February 21, 2016 The OP said "nice khaki or dress shorts, jeans, polo shirt, button up shirt"...I've never seen anyone turned away (have you all :confused:) and have noticed this manner of dress very often. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted February 21, 2016 #7 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I thought long pants were suggested for every night, not just formal nights Your keyword...."suggested" on other than formal nights...I've never seen anyone actually turned away .Regardless it never impacts my dining...sorry it does for some of you...perhaps a more upscale cruiseline might work out better...after 20 + cruises with RCI...I'm happy to just cruise and not judge others during their vacation.

I was surprised because I have also seen many people go in to dinner wearing shorts on the same ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sg4crzn Posted February 21, 2016 Author #10 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I should have stated dress code for men and not on "formal" nights. Nice jeans and shirt would be the safest for MDR I would say. I am surprised Disney started allowing shorts in the MDR. I feel their dining rooms are more formally decorated. I've only been on a few RC ships and the last one was Oasis 4 1/2 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
