gatorchinsky Posted December 21, 2019 #1 Share Posted December 21, 2019 We will be on the Pearl 3 nighter in January and was wondering if men needed to wear long pants in either of the MDRs? We won’t be doing any specialty dining because we just booked an inside cabin. Is it true that there are no Platinum dinners on 3 night cruises? It’s not a big deal if there are not because we were surprised we moved up to Platinum after our Thanksgiving cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drcarp4 Posted December 21, 2019 #2 Share Posted December 21, 2019 You need to wear long pants in the aft Main dining room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonvoyagie Posted December 22, 2019 #6 Share Posted December 22, 2019 The Pearl has two MDRs one mid ship and one aft - the aft one is more formal than the mid-ship one but as far as I know neither allow shorts. I have seen people refused seating because their kids were in shorts. When we first started cruising you needed to have slacks (no jeans) and a collared shirt. Lately they have been allowing nice jeans but still no shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizord Posted December 22, 2019 #7 Share Posted December 22, 2019 When we were on the Gem we wore shorts in the mid dining room, no issues. Ncl's website and daily papers confirm this. Not sure what bonvoyagie mentioned because shorts are definitely allowed in the mid dining room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have only been on the mega ships and they allow shorts in the smaller MDRs but I wanted to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonvoyagie Posted December 22, 2019 #9 Share Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) I was last on the Pearl in 2012 and the Dawn in 2016 both cruises did not allow shorts in the MDRs. The Aft MDR was always the most formal and is where the dress up-or not night was held. Edited December 22, 2019 by bonvoyagie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what the rules were 8 and nearly 4 years ago but if you look at the NCL site and any freestyle dailies distributed in the past 3 years you'll see that shorts are allowed in the mid MDR.

The other MDR-aft of the ship was a bit more dressy and possibly a no go with shorts there. Same when we were on the Jade. I just forget the names.🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
