grapau27 Posted April 18, 2017 #101 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Do your dining experience is lessened if someone 3 tables away is wearing a polo shirt and nice shorts? Doesn't bother me but as i keep saying the decision of dress codes in the restaurant lies with the restaurant manager and if you go in shorts you risk being embarrassed by not being let in. 43 cruises and counting.

I don't have 43 cruises under my belt as you do, but I am a newly annointed Diamond member...I have never witnessed a person being turned away for wearing shorts, and further I have the same thought on every cruise about how many people are wearing shorts at dinner and how silly these threads are. Same goes for the old "jeans in dining room" threads that used to be constant here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbelc Posted April 24, 2017 #105 Share Posted April 24, 2017 They say that tank tops and bare feet are not allowed in the dining room and that shorts are welcomed at breakfast and lunch. I don't think they turn away shorts, but they would prefer that you didn't. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George C Posted April 24, 2017 #107 Share Posted April 24, 2017 We sail in 6 days on Liberty , I would bet RCCL will not enforce any dress codes ( as they have not in past) but hope I am wrong, Will post after cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare WrittenOnYourHeart Posted April 24, 2017 #108 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I was once turned away at a P&O restaurant for not wearing my suit jacket !! 43 cruises and counting. In that case, I am sure the crew of the Adonia is counting the days until uber-casual fathom stops using her at the end of May and she returns to P&O. The only rule on fathom is "no swimwear" - and people DO go really casual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOM CRUIZES Posted April 24, 2017 #109 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Email from M Bayley States Dining Room Policy is that Shorts ARE Not allowed in the DR and that is NOT Changing. . Hi Our Dining room policy does not allow shorts in the dining room for dinner and that is not changing. I think you may be a victim of "Fake News". Thanks for reaching out.

RaiderDuck Posted April 24, 2017 #110 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Just got off a five-night cruise aboard the Empress. Attended four events (three dinners and a wine tasting) in the MDR and one dinner at Chops Grille. Never wore long pants and was never asked to leave or refused seating.

I bet he did, as well as all the other people wearing shorts in the mdr. more so then those not wearing shorts. Isn't it nice to be comfortable while on vacation. Maybe you should try it.

RaiderDuck Posted April 24, 2017 #118 Share Posted April 24, 2017 The first night, I decided to wear shorts down to Chops Grille. My fiancee was nervous about the dress code and wore nice shoes instead of her usual flip flops. We walk into Chops and literally the first patron I see is wearing shorts. And two ladies sitting a short distance from us were wearing flip flops. We didn't worry about it after that. My standard dining outfit was a collared shirt, dress shorts, and Sperry leather boat shoes. Nobody complained.

Like i have just posted.It is the inconsistency of the restaurants whether shorts are allowed or not but my answer is always that the restaurant manager dictates what the dress code is in his restaurants. 43 cruises and counting.
