Attire for going to pool, and then lunch?

[Nothin' But Sun]

I was wondering if there were any rules about wearing a bathing suit from "stateroom to pool?" I realize some sort of cover-up for bottom would be appropriate but what about top? Also is it OK to wear a bathing suit plus full cover-up to the Winjammer for lunch?

[lanabanana]

Just a bottom cover for walking to the pool is just fine. A regular cover up is appropriate for the Windjammer. Only the dining room requires real clothes.

Last year when I was on the Serenade of the seas I went from the pool to the windjammer with a one piece suit with a long cover up that went from my waist to my ankles and the hostess told me that swim wear was not allowed in the dining room. She was very nice about it and somewhat apologetic. So I left and returned later in the day when I was through at the pool.

My wife and daughter use sarongs that can be worn as a skirt (covering from the waist down), and also as a full length cover-up (covering top and bottom so they can go into the Windjammer for lunch).

I noticed that the Windjammer said NO TANK TOPS and that scared me the first day... that was basically all I brought to wear other than for dinner... BUT they allowed me to wear tank tops with no problem. I never tried going in a bathing suit, but I saw many people with bathing suit tops alone and were allowed in. I noticed on our cruise that many people did not follow the dress code guide lines posted and no one seemed to care.

Limbogirl -

have not been able to get on the aos 12/4/05 message board. are you having a problem? ihave not been able to find the others, you show up as last post. will look for you here.

Georgia, I just looked at that board and it was going to allow me to post. Maybe something was going on earlier. Try again!

I was declined entry into the dining room for lunch because I was in my bikini and had the sarong only covering me from the waist down :rolleyes:

 

I took off the sarong and made it into a dress and everything was fine.:D

 

Etiquitte for walking to the pool is, at the very least, sarong from the waist down :cool:

 

Personally, I get into vacation mode on cruises and would have no problem spending the entire week in my bikini :eek:

 

However, when making decisions, espcially about eating in the public areas, remeber that there are lots of people around you and it might not be considered "sanitary" if you show too much skin. ;)

 

I guess, just try to be as respectful as possible.

Hi Georgia, I haven't been to the 12-4 aos site yet, but I was having trouble with getting off the opening page when I first logged on!:rolleyes: Maybe it was the whole board having problems. Sheffie I see you are going on the Serenade in April- I loved that ship! My next cruise is going to be on the radiance class ships. I'm 2 weeks from cruising and I'm talking about my next cruise!! I'm pathetic!:)

Just make sure you're covered up as mentioned above and DRY! The next person to occupy your seat may not appreciate a wet spot. ;) Shoes are a good idea too.

[rprehoda]

Good advice hstrybuf.I just got back from the Legend. I sat on a wet seat with my burmudas on and it looked like I had a severe bladder problem!!!

[iheartshoes]

I always wear a wrap and take a shirt to throw on to eat. And remember to wear shoes into the windjammer.

[Kimba1910]

Men must also wear a top into the windjammer.

Men must also wear a top into the windjammer.

 

Preferably a top that covers their armpits......:eek:

We found a way around the wet bathing suit issue -

Grab your lunch in the Windjammer and then take it with you to the pool! We didn't see a sign that said no eating at the pool.....this worked great for our DD who didn't want to waste a whole lot of "pool time" sitting down in the Windjammer eating a long lunch with her parents!

I know you are not allowed to bring glassware into the pool area.
