mab4285 Posted May 24, 2019 #2 Share Posted May 24, 2019 You're on NCL! Freestyle cruising. There's no dress code for the MDR (but please wear clothes. 🙂) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Wheels Only Posted May 24, 2019 #3 Share Posted May 24, 2019 For the child... "Kids 12 and under are welcome to wear nice shorts in all our restaurants." For adults, dress codes can vary by ship and by restaurant. It's best to check the dailies to find out which restaurants are "cruise casual" and which are "smart casual". Certain MDRs such as The Manhattan Room may not allow shorts on a particular ship but other ships with The Manhattan Room allow shorts. Don't be surprised if you get conflicting posts about The Manhattan Room MDR dress code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 1025cruise Posted May 24, 2019 #5 Share Posted May 24, 2019 There are usually 2 MDRs. One is "come as you are", the other one would be "more formal". Just make sure to go to the right one. I think one of the specialties might have its own dress code as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hallux Posted May 24, 2019 #7 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I found on the Bliss that there were signs outside all the dining venues with the suggested dress listed for all dining venues for that day. As noted by others - things might be relaxed some for kids, especially those ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizfish Posted May 25, 2019 #8 Share Posted May 25, 2019 You all can wear shorts to almost all restaurants on board. You didn't say which ship, but the ones out of NY have been allowing shorts in all the MDR's for some time. There will be one specialty restaurant that requires pants (including jeans or capris) for adults. On the Away ships, its Le Bistro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
