davekathy Posted November 9, 2019 #2 Share Posted November 9, 2019 We did a B2B on the Freedom March 2019. The Cruise Compass listed all evenings as, "Dress Code Suggestion...". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ourusualbeach Posted November 9, 2019 #4 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Does it really matter what they call it. Nothing is ever enforced and it’s really “wear whatever you like” 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference is from ship to ship. It's only a suggestion. Nothing has changed. Edited November 9, 2019 by davekathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe i can look for recent compass from like last month or 2.😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar*Magnolia Posted November 9, 2019 Author #8 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Oh wait. I'd have to look for a compass for each ship. My idea is not such a good one. Unless there is a thread with the compass from various ships. Maybe? Probably not.😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted November 9, 2019 #11 Share Posted November 9, 2019 One of the sites we are not supposed to mention here posted this update they received from Royal Caribbean. September 13 Update: We have received further clarification on this change. All short itineraries (5-nights or less) offer a “Wear Your Best” evening onboard (in lieu of a formal night). Royal Caribbean describes it as: Nighttime’s the right time to wear your best look. That means a step up from your tropical dinner wear, and includes collared shirts, dresses, skirts, blouses and pantsuits. Jackets, tuxedos/formal wear sports coats and blazers are also appropriate. Sailings that are 6-nights or longer still have formal nights. This includes Harmony of the Seas and all sister ships sailing 6+ night itineraries 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mets123 Posted November 9, 2019 #12 Share Posted November 9, 2019 On the Anthem last month it was described as wear your best. It was a nine night cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. This is what I thought. Length of cruise does not matter any more. From scuttlebutt about it looks like Royal is trending to all ships "Wear Your Best". I am just curious to hear what ships people are seeing this on. So, TYVM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep! Pretty much know that it doesn't make a difference, but still just curious! 🙂 I forgot when I posted this that it could turn into one of those types of threads. There was no intention of it being a let's get the popcorn out thread, LMAO. Nothing more than simple curiosity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsKC08 Posted November 11, 2019 #19 Share Posted November 11, 2019 No matter what they call it, we will always dress formal. One of our favorite things about cruising. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very recently we have seen people turned away from the MDR on UK/European cruises and from Dubai you would not have got anywhere near the dining room with shorts etc. Doesn't bother us, people can wear what they want as far as we are concerned and whilst appreciating this is predominantly an American cruise site with folks sailing from Florida it is worth pointing out that sailing from elsewhere can be different.

loman Posted November 11, 2019 #22 Share Posted November 11, 2019 On the Allure in September , I specifically walked up to the door attendant in shorts and a shirt on and asked if it was a formal night ( it was ) . He said we do not turn anyone away and invited me into the dining room. Pretty much anything goes now , maybe half of the dining room males were wearing jackets . I didnt go in that night but attended the second formal night in my jacket and long pants . I wont be bringing a jacket if I cruise again . Shirt and long pants for me .

Jam0610 Posted November 11, 2019 #23 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I agree with you. Wore a jacket for both formal nights on Liberty in Oct. Would say I was clearly in the minority. Lots of shorts, t shirts, and very few coats, suits, almost no ties. Told my wife no sports coat going forward. Not sure why RC does not just remove formal nights. Did enjoy the costumes on Halloween night. Plenty of passengers dressed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelife Posted November 12, 2019 #24 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Just off a seven-night Harmony and listed as two formal nights. On Ovation 19-night in October and listed as three formal nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebucks Posted November 12, 2019 #25 Share Posted November 12, 2019 This is because dressing up is obsolete. Fight it all you want, it is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
