yankees111 Posted March 20, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) Khaki shorts is what I will be wearing to lunch at Cagney’s on my cruise. Lunch is more casual so nice shorts will be fine.

Could my husband and teenage son get away with khaki shorts? Please dont flame me. Repeat after me..."What other people think of me is none of my business". Basic etiquette, some common sense, and you do you. Have a GREAT cruise! Sent from my SM-N950U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cindivan Posted March 21, 2018 #6 Share Posted March 21, 2018 We have gotten in the habit of wearing the same thing embarkation day all day. No one cares. Just say your bags aren’t there. But no one will ask you because no one cares. Especially the first day. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

link99 Posted March 22, 2018 #10 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Wore shorts and tee shirt on Freedom last week to boarding day lunch in Chops so did others. Very casual ,away from the windjammer rush. Great way to start the Cruise and it's even better when you get it on sale in the cruise planer. Keep Checking.

CAT GIRL Posted March 22, 2018 #11 Share Posted March 22, 2018 What ship are you sailing on? Chops may not be open for lunch on embarkation day. It may be open for gold card holders but they grab their food in the Windjammer and eat in Chops. Depending on the ship, they may or may not be serving food in there on the first day.

I am traveling on Harmony of the Seas on 3/31 and was able to make a reservation for lunch. Getting excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare silentbob007 Posted March 22, 2018 #13 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I've worn shorts to lunch in specialties on embarkation day and after. It's no biggie, it's lunch. The restaurants are happy for any extra revenue they can generate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BND Posted March 22, 2018 #14 Share Posted March 22, 2018 We're having lunch in Chops on Grandeur on boarding day next month. We're wearing jeans. Boarding day is different since a lot of people will have traveled, even if it's only an hour or two. We're driving same day from NoVA to Baltimore, so less than 1.5 hours, but I'm dressing the way I always do. Shorts are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coochuck Posted March 22, 2018 #15 Share Posted March 22, 2018 On embarkation day anything goes, for lunch or dinner. Bags do not always arrive prior to your scheduled dinner, or you may not have time to unpack. We always go to a specialty dinner the first 2 nights to take advantage of the Diamond Plus BOGO's.

I believe most ships now have lunch there first day, gold cards get this as a free perk, they can check planner and it should be listed along with price and menu , this is new .

pinkrosesdeb Posted March 22, 2018 #17 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Is this actually true on Oasis class since there is Coastal Kitchen for suites? We have had many suites but never had free Chops offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, when I was on the Navigator in Jan I was pleasantly surprised about the free lunch in Chops during sea days for gold card members. They offered it on embarkation day as well. Fast forward to last week and they discontinued the freebie. I was thoroughly disappointed as I already had in my mind what I was going to order. Yes, jeans and shorts are just fine for embarkation day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted March 22, 2018 #22 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Only dinner applies to the "suggested dress"...and it's only a suggestion. During the day, shorts/tees/flip-flops are what most are wearing. Don't wear your bathing suit into a restaurant or lounge about in the inside spaces....cover your bathing suit when you're not at the pool.
