barbatkins Posted May 31, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 31, 2019 On non formal nights, are young men allowed to wear nice jeans with a polo type shirt into the dining room on Seaside? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rou-Dyliq Posted May 31, 2019 #2 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Based on what we saw in December on Seaside, yes on the dress jeans. Everyone I saw had a button down shirt, some short sleeves, some long, some Tommy Bahama types. I don't recall seeing a polo shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserG79 Posted May 31, 2019 #3 Share Posted May 31, 2019 That should be no problem. Even on the formal nights MSC dress code isn't that strict. Jeans and Polo should be perfectly fine for normal nights and would work too on the others, although we prefer to dress up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Captain-John Posted May 31, 2019 #4 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Yes, absolutely fine I would say - based on the generally more relaxed vibe on MSC compared to more 'traditional' lines and seeing a range of dress up vs dress down on many MSC cruises.

Oxo Posted June 1, 2019 #10 Share Posted June 1, 2019 MSC just like most of the other cruise lines do not enforce any suggested dress code. On formal night on the SEaside, there were men and boys in shorts, jeans, etc. Hate to see it, but that is the real story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That food and plating in the Main dining room are nowhere near fine dining. Putting on a Tux doesn't make that food any better. People sound like seeing people in jeans would affect your appetite. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Reds4life Posted June 2, 2019 #12 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I just got off Seaside and wore khaki shorts and a nice tee on two non formal nights. It was more the norm than the exception. Khakis and a polo on other non formals and seemed on the dressy side. The only thing I saw enforced was pants of some type on formal night. People in jeans on formal night also.

I just think of celebrity's evening chic, as I travel with hand luggage only including the upcoming 21 day trip on Meraviglia. So no space in my luggage to care about what exactly the cruise line or other guests expect. It has to be multi functional. Why choose a particular cruise line if you "don't care" about what their standards are? Are there any other cruise line policies that you feel free to disregard simply because it is inconvenient for you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that is not permitted is shorts. Jeans and Polo are acceptable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxo Posted June 2, 2019 #16 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Shorts are not suggested in the MDR. However, I have seen people wear shorts in the MDR on formal nights many times on MSC ships. There really is no dress code, any longer, on any cruise line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you need to try Cunard. thetaro ( post 11) certainly wouldn't get away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
