cruisekitty22 Posted February 18, 2021 #1 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Being new to Celebrity as never been on a Celebrity cruise ever. I was wondering about the dress code. Can my husband get away with wearing sweats to dinner in the main dining/specialty restaurants? How strict are they with the dress code? This would be for a Caribbean cruise. Celebrity has lots of itineraries we like. I understand less kids go on Celebrity. Is this true? This would be a winter cruise, not school times.

The dress codes can be found on the webside and have become more relaxed - which is not always good. I don´t get what exactly you call "sweats" but assume that you mean sweat pants etc. That would be a no - just like shorts. And with the usual few exceptions, the dress code is actually applied and enforced. The feasible kind of pants, shirts etc. is roughly described on the website FAQs. Celebrity have less kids than the family cruise lines like Royal, NCL etc. That is correct. Still a few more kids on the Caribbean sailings than on more culture/history destinations but not that many in general.

Rare PTC DAWG Posted February 18, 2021 #3 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) "Sweats". LOL Actually, they should be fine in the buffet. Edited February 18, 2021 by PTC DAWG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alakegirl Posted February 18, 2021 #4 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Sweats are too casual for the sit down restaurants. Khakis and a shirt with buttons (that is, not a tee shirt) will work. Jeans will work. No shorts. if you are planning to eat at the buffet, no swimwear is the rule there. People coming in from the pool wear something over their bathing suits.

MarkWiltonM Posted February 18, 2021 #5 Share Posted February 18, 2021 The dress code doesn't say anything specifically about sweat pants so you could probably get away with it, but there may be a few gasps as you pass by your fellow cruisers. Here are the enforced exclusions: "T-shirts, swimsuits, robes, bare feet, tank tops, baseball caps and pool wear are not allowed in the main restaurant or specialty restaurant at any time. Shorts and flip-flops are not allowed in the evening hours. The dress code will be enforced at all restaurants. And guests are asked to follow the Smart Casual or Evening Chic dress code in the Celebrity Theater for all evening performances. The daily program, delivered to your stateroom and available at the Guest Relations Desk, will be your guide to the correct attire each evening." This webpage describes what men and women should be "comfortable" wearing in the dining rooms: https://www.celebritycruises.com/faqs/onboard-dress-code Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted February 18, 2021 #6 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Passengers seem to dress a little nicer on Celebrity than most lines, your husband may or may not be allowed to have dinner in sweats, I have seen shorts although 99 percent have dockers and a shirt with a collar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny01 Posted February 18, 2021 #7 Share Posted February 18, 2021 The dress code also doesn’t say anything about showing up nude for dinner, but I don’t think ‘you could probably get away with it’ because it isn’t listed as excluded. Sweats? How about just putting on a pair of pants. Celebrity has dropped away from formal nights and from coat/tie requirements, but that doesn’t really we an show up as if we were dining in our living room in front of the TV....... I’ll leave my comments about how we men dont seem to want to leave acting like we are still little boys. I love the old commets about ‘I had to wear a coat and tie to work and wont on vacation’, which also can be interpreted as: ‘I wear a coat/tie to work because I was paid to do that, but won’t just because wife would like me to’.

Mr. Click Posted February 18, 2021 #9 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Shirts with buttons don't not mean full button up shirts. I have done nice golf shirts and dockers for years without a second glance. The "rules are more relaxed on the first night because some people don't have their luggage yet but after that you do need to dress up a bit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ORV Posted February 18, 2021 #10 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Great, we needed a good Dress Code thread to get out of the Covid/Vaccine rut. My last experience on Celebrity, which has been a while, was that almost anything goes. I'm not recommending that though. I would think that self respect would dictate a certain level of dress. There is a posted dress code, and then there is what is enforced. Those that are selfish will generally get away with whatever they want. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC Stew Posted February 18, 2021 #11 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Major Cruise lines are generally viewed from a 3 to 6 star rating. 3 star: NCL and Carnival. Considered to be more budget friendly. 4 star: Royal Caribbean. Family friendly with better amenities and better crew/passenger ratio. 5 star: Celebrity and Holland: Noted superior for service, dining and amenities. 6 star: Regent, etc. : So, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC Stew Posted February 18, 2021 #12 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Sorry, con't: So, Celebrity is "generally" an upgraded experience from what you might have experienced thus far. While there are always exceptions, I think that folks do try to spiff up for dinner in the restaurants. Personally, my husband would be dining alone if he tried to wear shorts or sweats. Maybe in the buffet, but never in the MDR or Specialty venue. (Long pants and collared golf shirts are a comfortable compromise.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeRick Posted February 18, 2021 #15 Share Posted February 18, 2021 If you want to be in sweat pants that is fine but just go to the Oceanview Buffet that night or order room service. Simple. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Den Den- Have you heard of the company called Bare Necessities? Offering Nudist cruises? They would probably ban sweat pants from the MDR.😁 https://cruisebare.com/ Edited February 18, 2021 by TeeRick 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnorigionalName Posted February 18, 2021 #20 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) I'm super curious how fashion is going to head in the next few years. I feel like right before and during early COVID sweat pants were on their way in, similar to leggings before them. I wonder if post COVID people are gonna be used to dressing relaxed all year and if fashion is going to go super casual, or if it's going to be like a rebound from being pent up all year and it's going to swing 180 super dressy. I can see it either way... Anyway, the dress code not being really formalized, I bet a lot of it depends on your body type and rest of the outfit if you can swing it without getting kicked out. Like, model type build with designer sweatpants (they exist!) and a in-fashion outfit, is miles away from pot-bellied with ratty sweatpants with stains.
