sassafrass Posted March 5, 2020 #1 Share Posted March 5, 2020 So we have always cruised carnival. First time with Norweign. Is the dining room casual? Semi casual? We never wore jeans on carnival but not dresses and suits every night either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarlChilders Posted March 5, 2020 #2 Share Posted March 5, 2020 on some ships the Manhattan room requires long pants. Other than that you are free to dress as you care to. Le Bistro specialty restaurant will also require long pants and a collared shirt for men. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comi.uy Posted March 5, 2020 #3 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Usually they are pretty cold due to the AC so I wouldnt go with shorts either way. Jeans are usually the best idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poohdreaming Posted March 5, 2020 #4 Share Posted March 5, 2020 What the other poster said. NCL is freestyle mostly. So you are free to wear jeans to the dining room. Casual is fine. However, some specialty restaurant like Le Bistro require a little more than casual after the 1st day. On the first day, you may wear shorts.

Shorts are allowed in all restaurants for all meals except the Grand Pacific MDR and Le Bistro specialty restaurants. The Grand Pacific and Bistro request that gents wear long pants (jeans or dockers are fine) for dinner. NCL embraces “dress up or not”. Dress as you feel comfortable but you will never be under dressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare luv2kroooz Posted March 5, 2020 #6 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) Agree. Grand Pacific for Jewel class....on the Away class it is Manhattan room, but same difference.

mrneva Posted March 6, 2020 #8 Share Posted March 6, 2020 To my experience, it’s really up to the employees at the front. I’ve been turned away by the Le Bistro staff because I was wearing jeans and a tshirt without collar. Yet I’ve seen in another cruise that people are eating in Le Bistro in shorts and flip flops. I’ve got into Manhattan Room in shorts without issues. To be safe, wear long jeans. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare All-ready2cruise Posted March 6, 2020 #9 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I guess what's important is that if you adhere to what is required you won't be denied. The more formal dining room requires Long pants and a collared shirt while the less formal dining rooms do not require the more formal apparel. The le Bistro also asks that you wear the more formal casual of long pants and collared shirts for men. Women are welcome to wear capris, long pants, skirts with a nice top. You may be lucky enough to be seated if you choose to wear something less formal but it's not guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyancho Posted March 6, 2020 #11 Share Posted March 6, 2020 On our last NCL cruise one old boy wore overalls to the MDR every night. Actual farmboy, beat up denim overalls. So obviously anything goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
