Grammajojo8 Posted September 25, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 25, 2019 For casual tropical night dress my husband has a t-shirt that has palm trees etc on it. Is a tee shirt permitted in the dining room as long as he has long pants on? and what about gym shoes? The other thing I'm wondering about is when it's 'formal' night, you can't eat in the dining room unless you have on a suit or tux, correct? Thanks for any clarification.

suesnake2002 Posted September 25, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 25, 2019 The dress code is greatly relaxed. I have seen shorts and tee shirts on formal night. I would stay with the long pants tho. Me and hubby enjoy dressing up. To each their own 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandma Dazzles Posted September 25, 2019 #3 Share Posted September 25, 2019 A lot of ships no longer have formal night. It’s been changed to a dress your best type of night. You will see all kinds of dress in MDR. I agree with sticking with long pants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal does not enforce dress suggestions, so you can wear whatever you like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twice_a_year Posted September 25, 2019 #5 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I almost always wear a jacket to dinner. This is my choice. However, you also have the choice. Wear what you like, you are on vacation. Have fun, relax, and don't worry about the "old fogies" we're there to relax and not judge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watson61 Posted September 25, 2019 #6 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I just got off Symphony and formal night really was "anything goes." I saw lots of shorts and baseball caps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nalatrixie74 Posted September 25, 2019 #7 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Our 1st cruise my husband rented a tux and I wore a gown. Felt quite comfortable. We fit right in. That was over 15 yrs ago. In the years since it has really changed and gone not formal. Now my husband and boys wear shirt and tie and quite often are overdressed compared to others. Wear what makes you feel your best! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To each their own I enjoy dressing up but my hubby does not. :( And it's good to know that I can at least try and meet him 1/2 way with it.

Grammajojo8 Posted September 25, 2019 Author #14 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I think I agree in that things sure have changed! Even if the work force etc. no one seems to want to go that extra mile anymore. Everything is casual. Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare vacationlover_mn Posted September 25, 2019 #16 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I wear dresses of various fanciness every night. DH wears khakis or dress pants each night, shirt/tie formal night, Hawaiian shirts every other night. There are always people more/less fancy than us, but we have never felt over/under dressed.
