[Windsurfboy]

Just having a bit of fun

[BigMac1953]

I think he/she looks a bit 50:50 😉

[ToadOfToadHall]

The stool looks a bit casual.

 

[Wiltonian]

E: It might do but it shouldn't.  ;-)

 

[PORT ROYAL]

 

50/50 equates to:

Yes, on Carnival

No, on Cunard 

 

Phoned a friend = Definatley Cottage attire

 

 

[CGTNORMANDIE]

Definitely Kings Court.

[Summergee]

Wasn't a picture like this on the Cunard website as an example of smart attire? I don't like it.

[Moscowlad]

Sadly E as said by Wiltonian

[Dermotsgirl]

I'd say yes.  He's a young man and he's wearing age appropriate clothing 

[Tonopah]

NO! I mean, yes? According to the words on the Cunard site? No. According to the pics on the Cunard site? Yes.

 

LOL - I know nothing about coding or website design, but it’s as if Cunard took the worst of the worst and told them “see if you can make this site more confusing”.

[Windsurfboy]

Tonopah has recognised the source of the picture,  yes it's the Cunard website, shown as an example of evening smart attire.  Even though the documentation you get before your cruise clearly describes smart attire as a jacket and shirt. The website makes no mention of a shirt (click on experience then on what to pack). No wonder there is such a debate about dress codes. As a customer it's confusing, as a  shareholder it's annoying that someone is being paid good money to manage web site yet the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing.

[Craigrlewis]

Sums up their lame website and their constant messing around with  formal night now lets call it gala; semi formal,now causal etc etc

It looks like man at Primark has replaced man at C&A.I wouldn't be seen dead in that mismatching clobber.

One  needs  to get their self up to Liverpool, Essex or even London on a weekend and go out  dining or visit a couple of local venue/bars.  These days guys 25/30 somethings wouldn't be seen dead in casual  gear like this.

 

All this nonsense that Cunard should relax the evening  dress code to encourage the next generation is ridiculous. It's the 'dapper' 25/ 30 something professionals ( both male and female) who are now setting the standards onboard Cunard .

Red and green? He looks like he put a gray blazer over his Santa's helper costume. 

 

I've looked at the "attire" pictures on the website. There isn't anything I'd wear, gala or otherwise.

 

[fizzy1]

A. Its straight from Cunard website

My first thought was “Santa’s Elf”, so thank you for that ^^

[Bigmike911]

This is a ridiculous picture. If this is what some one at Cunard or their ad agency thinks is smart evening attire, they need to replace one person and one agency. 

[roscoe39]

The background definitely clashes with that jacket as the outfit is built on opposites on the colour wheel and the background is colour sympathetic to the jacket so its messing with my head and  I'm so offended I can't find myself able to vote.

Haha, great idea of a thread.

We should have this on a daily basis.

Well... personally, I dislike this dress on the women's suggestions... quite boring... I think Cunard needs some new pictures.

[Bell Boy]

The above suggestion looks ridiculous, can't imagine any lady would wear an outfit like this after six, onboard a luxury cruise ship. 

She looks like a cross between a Flight Attendant or the Ranger at longleat Safari Park.  Just look at the size of the bag, what's with the long strap  😱
