Carnival Dining Room Dress Code

[sarze2591]

Other than the formal evenings I notice there is a dress code after 5:30 in the restaurants and lounges...how strict is this, we are from QLD so dressy means good thongs (or just shoes depending on where in qld you are from lol) does Hubby need to go purchase more long pants/shoes or will denim shorts and casual shoes be allowed? Are tshirts ok or need a collar?

What about kids, will boys aged 4 and 6 be restricted from wearing normal shorts/tshirts?

Well.. here's a link to their US site and 'what to wear' - I would gather that they would be kind of strict on the 'thongs' part.... and a few collared polo type shirts would be enough....

Main Dining Room(s)

Following is the dress code in the Main Dining Room(s) for both men and women and pertains to children as well: Cruise Casual Dress Code

 

• Men: sport slacks, khakis, Jeans (no cut-offs), dress shorts (long) and collared polo shirts
  
• Women: summer dresses, casual skirts, pants, capris, dress shorts, Jeans (no cut-offs) blouses and tops
  
• Not permitted: Cut-off Jeans, men’s sleeveless shirts, tee-shirts, gym or basketball shorts, baseball hats, flip-flops and bathing suit attire
  

 

 

 

edit... somewhat 'strange' to be responding to this .. as I just had an email for a Cunard QE cruise bargain from SF to Syd ... and then read that you had wear a jacket (men) and no jeans / shorts after 6pm... so I wont be doing that one :)

On our last Carnival Cruise my husband wore jeans and a collared shirt with shoes and socks in the dining room, and yes apart from Theme nights it is enforced.

The kids will be okay.

Jeans are fine even t-shirts and casual shorts, just no board shorts, thongs and singlets.

Thanks Lagoon380, thats what I was hoping for :) Now I just have to convince the other half that there are in fact uses for shoes in between thongs and black leather 'wedding' shoes haha

casual shorts and t shirts might be ok for breakfast and lunch but not for dinner

 

if you want to wear shorts to dinner you can always eat in the buffett

Been on 4 Carnival cruises lots of people wear dress shorts & t-shirts to dinner, especially on port days.
