T shirts in the Caribbean

[lake5298]

Has anyone been on a Caribbean fly-cruise since the new rule about slogan T-shirts came in?

 

I've no intention of wearing "stag do" type T-shirts, which I understand the rule is aimed at, but I'm unsure how far it goes.

 

I've got T-shirts with pictures on, T-shirts with pictures and names of ports of call on. Are people still wearing this kind of thing?

 

Just not sure what to pack - am I going to be stuck with completely plain T-shirts?

Read the rule carefully its about offensive words. Not tee shirts about islands

I interpret it the same way as daiB. It is aimed at groups such as stag and hen parties and the recent trend for them to wear specially designed tee shirts bearing risque wording or images. Harmless fun to some, but offensive to others.

I contacted P & O about this as I was unsure as to what constituted a 'slogan', as they put it. Sorry I don't still have their reply to copy here, but basically it said what the previous 2 posts have said - if you bought it 'off the peg' and it hasn't been personalised by you it's fine (so long as it can't be deemed offensive presumably....)

Pretty normal for the MDR they do ask that sleeved shirts are worn an ordinary T shirt would have been fine

Do they? I’ve not seen that. Many of my summer dresses and blouses have no sleeves. Nor do a few of my tshirt type tops which are admired, very pretty (not plain or scruffy) I never felt awkward wearing those last year. Maybe I’ll need to this year...

 

Or is this just a rule for men and not women?

Hi....maybe they think that men's hairy armpits a bit off putting for some folk at breakfast...ladies are usually more " groomed"....just a thought :)

This is a problem that is coming in on P&O, people who are clueless. This is why they have to introduce such specific rules.

This sleeveless shirt has no slogan on it but I see a problem to fellow breakfast diners.

I know many cruisers think different but the dress code is something which makes the whole cruising lark tiresome for me personally,I just hate anybody telling me what I can/should or shouldn't wear,I am on holiday!

Some years ago we were booked on a cruise on the Queen Mary 2,I read in their do's & don'ts that shorts were not allowed in any of the dining rooms at any time,for me that meant if we were in a port I would have to wear trousers to go to the dining room for breakfast & change to shorts before going ashore which seemed nonesense,we ended up cancelling the cruise at the last minute due to my Mother being ill but I was almaost relieved to missing it!

Strange though it's OK for women to wear shorts to breakfast. I always do. Must admit that string vest might put me off my cornflakes :-)

 

to the man above - are shorts allowed for men in the buffet?

On P&O yes during the day not in the evening

In hotels everywhere they often have a dinner dress code.

I have worn long designer shorts in Tenerife and been asked by the maitred to put long trousers on but seen women being allowed in with shorts that were really short.

We do stay in 5 star hotels but the time i mentioned was in the 4 star Torviscas Playa in Tenerife.

We stayed in the 5star Jardin de Nivarria in Costa Adeje Tenerife in January and dress code was applied there too.

To be fair many of the hotels we have stayed in when in the USA haven't had much more than a breakfast room as there is so much choice restaurant wise,around them,when we have been other places,Netherlands,Portugal,Malta for example the area was very much beach/tourist orientated so the hotels were happy with shorts anytime.

One exception was the Palace Hotel & Casino in the Isle Of Man,when we first stayed there back in the 1970's, 6pm saw a ban on shorts,jeans & ladies wearing trousers,swim wear was banned in the hotel at all times which,with the hotel being accross the road from a beach that used to lead to some heated moments,things are much more relaxed these days!

Bit of a thread drift going on here. What us the norm 8n Orlando, or the Isle of Man in 1970 (!) has no bearing on a current P&O cruise.

The ban on slogans applies to personalised t-shirts, of the stag/hen do variety, not the commercial Nike/Adidas type.
