leaveitallbehind Posted April 5, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Long pants would still be recommended IMO although RCI is relaxing their dress code regarding the main dining room. I would look on the RCI website regarding this. The Captain's night is open to all. Enjoy your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klangel Posted April 5, 2017 #4 Share Posted April 5, 2017 The hostess told my husband he had to wear long pants to dine in the dining room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuiteTraveler Posted April 5, 2017 #5 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Here is the current RCCL dress code: http://www.royalcaribbean.com/customersupport/faq/details.do?pagename=frequently_asked_questions&faqId=255&faqSubjectId=334 Shorts are permitted at breakfast and lunch in the MDR but not for dinner. For ladies, you can wear pants, dresses, skirts, maxi dresses. Even on formal night a nicer maxi dress is fine or you could wear a black dress and fancy shoes - plenty good enough. Men mostly wear suits on formal night. One tip is that if you are eating at a specialty restaurant on formal night you can go resort casual. This is what my husband and I typically do if we don't want to dress up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisin' Chick Posted April 7, 2017 #7 Share Posted April 7, 2017 My daughter at age 13 didn't want to dress up for dinner (not even smart casual) so she ate in the buffet or at the poolside grill or pizzeria. But two years later, she wanted to dress up (in her own style, but still) for dinner as she was spending time with others in her age group. I think teenaged boys for the most part want to impress their female peers. So encourage them to bring at least a pair or two of slacks -- they might regret it if they don't bring some. And we're not talking about tuxes and prom dress for the teens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfmeister Posted April 13, 2017 #8 Share Posted April 13, 2017 My daughter (18) will not wear a dress full stop. For formal night she plans to wear a suit of trousers and waistcoat (no jacket) with a shirt and a bow tie. How is that likely to go down, anyone know? Also on RCI can you wear smart shorts in the bars in the evening and what about smart jeans please? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCCL is not as dressy as it used to be. I wear a maxi dress on formal nights. Shorts in the bars in the evening should be OK and nice jeans (not ragged or distressed) should be fine as well except on formal night. But this would mean that whoever wanted to wear shorts would have to go back to the stateroom to change after dinner, which seems like a lot of trouble to go to.
