Clarea Posted July 11, 2018 #26 Share Posted July 11, 2018 The one & only time we decided to not bring the formal wear... hubby had a sport coat, but no tie. I had a little black dress, but not fancy in anyway... we got invited to have dinner with the Captain! When we told the concierge of our attire & would that be appropriate, we were told no. So we had to pass on dinner with the Captain. Our table was about two tables away & we sat there longing to be at that table. So never again! We will always have at least one formal & tie with us! But may never get the invite again. Very surprising that they would have told you that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare vacationlover_mn Posted July 11, 2018 #27 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I may be weird, but I thinks sports coats look great! We are never bringing a tux for the DH again, so I guess no captain’s table for us :) Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjrpar Posted July 11, 2018 #28 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Okay, this is probably going to open a can of worms, but I'd love to see if I could just get an answer. For the past four or five years, I've pretty much only dined in specialty restaurants on Royal, which have GENERALLY been resort casual every night. I no longer bring a coat, dress shirt or tie. My evening attire is khakis and a golf shirt or a Tommy Bahama shirt. Next cruise, there are twelve of us, so we're sticking to the MDR. Am I going to have a problem any night in that attire? There really is no dress code on Royal any longer. Some pretend there is but it’s wishful thinking Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapeGal Posted July 11, 2018 #30 Share Posted July 11, 2018 No problem, they don't enforce dress suggestions. No issues at all. You sound very nicely dressed. We were on a cruise where one of the ladies at our table wore large tee shirts and capris every night to dinner INCLUDING formal nights! No one kicked her out! Enjoy your cruise.

This was in 2016 and 2017 on 4-5 Caribbean cruises. Most took it in stride and returned changed, 2 guys threw a stink and didn't return. The short's don't bother me, Tank tops do. But that's me...

You won’t have any issues, what you have described will be absolutely fine on any night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
