To all 4 of the specialty restaurants. BUT we drove to Miami and could over pack. We are flying this time in 11/22 so no suit jacket for me or tie this time for the 2 specialty restaurants. Well your in luck no suit or Jacket & tie required in any of the restaurants 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT then again maybe not in "luck". I think my wife is quite attractive, quite the well-preserved physique, and in her mid-50s, so she wanted to wear something different, obviously elegant but equally obviously quite stunning visually. And while not quite the infamous JLo green dress, she wore a stunning red dress, for example, with a plunging décolletage. She made sure to tape herself quite secure, just in case! She looked the part of a French film beauty in Jacques. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried the décolletage in Jacques but it sounds delightful. 😉 Edited October 31, 2022 by shepherd really 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My parents are currently on am Oceania cruise in a location that I think many would dress for in a more casual way. One of the couples they became friendly with apparently got a note in their cabin that they were not complying with the dress code and asked them to stop by guest services. No idea what happened after that (but I'll ask my mother). Personally, I don't understand this. If you're dressing inappropriately consistently, I would imagine you simply didn't pack clothes that are appropriate. Not quite sure how that would be remedied in the middle of the south Pacific. The remedy is to dine only in the venues that allow a relaxed dress: Waves grill, Terrace, others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SargassoPirate Posted October 31, 2022 #56 Share Posted October 31, 2022 For about half of my working days I wore a prescribed uniform. The other half I wore business attire - suits with ties. On weekends I wore shorts and T shirts, but not to an upscale restaurant. When I ride my motorcycle I wear leathers, but not out to dinner. When I cruise, I wear shorts and T shirts in the daytime and in the evening I put on a pair of black slacks, a black shirt, and a black sport coat if I'm eating anywhere other than a buffet or pool-side grill. While a slob in torn jeans and a T shirt doesn't ruin my cruise, it is interesting to note what image that person is trying to project -especially since they knew they were going to be on a cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitty9 Posted November 1, 2022 #64 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Well, I don’t much care about dress codes, but I will say I prefer to see a nice pair of jeans than the guy in very loose cargo shorts who reached down inside his shorts to scratch his butt—-and yes, I was unfortunate enough to be right behind him in line waiting to be seated in Polo, and since I’m a full time scooter user, I got the full shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think one has anything to do with the other and butt scratching is not part of the Oceania dress code i saw a woman in a very fine skirt and top who had toilet paper streaming out the back of her skirt.

Apparently not. In this case, it apparently was a polite conversation with the GM who notified the couple that a guest had complained about one the couples shirt at dinner and they asked them if they would not wear it anymore to the dining room. Again, this is 4th hand so take it with a grain of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piedpiper99 Posted November 2, 2022 #71 Share Posted November 2, 2022 This thread is boring. The long and short of it is that Oceania has unwritten rules. It also has other written rules it does not follow (like alcohol being brought on board). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robjame Posted November 2, 2022 #73 Share Posted November 2, 2022 (edited) Oceania’s dress code is easily found and Oceania publishes it -, “Country Club Casual”. If anyone is so sheltered to not know what that means perhaps this is the wrong cruise line. Google will answer what it means. Videos will show pictures. I agree with pinotlover - anyone who posts this thread is trolling and wants reactions. I find it very fertile with straight lines to try to attach humour to. It is an oasis when nothing new is on CC. No one needs information. No one will change their minds. Vent on.

mhoffrob Posted November 3, 2022 #75 Share Posted November 3, 2022 okay, but I'm (timidly) dying to ask - can I really not wear sandals to any of the restaurants? I'm not talking about flip flops, but women's dressy0ish sandles with good arch support? I can wear them to the country cloub, so is that okay? Technically the dress code says no sandals, but they are what I usually wear. I've never sailed O before and I'm perplexed on if I have to bring closed shoes and nylons to eat my dinner.
