wcook Posted December 25, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 25, 2022 (edited) Throw a nice shirt in you bag at the last minute just in case. Importantly, do not check to see if shirt has shrunk during Covid (as so many clothes seem to have done.) Fill rest of bag with t-shirts and beach ware. Reserve a restaurant when you get on board, but don’t bother unpacking shirt. About 10 minutes before dinner, remember you need to dress. Find shirt at bottom of suitcase. Dig pants you wore onto the ship out of dirty clothes pile. Dress. Tell yourself “you look fabulous” but do not look in mirror to confirm. Have a wonderful dinner.

complawyer Posted December 25, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 25, 2022 dont forget to polish and shine your tennis shoes! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleClark Posted December 25, 2022 #3 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Pro tip - a sports jersey is not a nice shirt. Neither is that sports cap. oh, and those pocket t-shirts that holds a pack of cigarettes, they are not in style right now. But don't throw them out I heard they might be coming back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiefMateJRK Posted December 26, 2022 #6 Share Posted December 26, 2022 This is the least fun dress code thread I've seen. Most are MUCH more clever/humorous/entertaining. I predict an early death.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

complawyer Posted December 26, 2022 #9 Share Posted December 26, 2022 rocketman275. i imagine it would be ok, but try not to leave your footprints throughout the ship. i guess that would p**s off the crew. also, for the benefit of other diners, please wash your feat before applying the polish by the way, i think we've beaten this thread/topic to death!!!

Most likely, I'll just come into the dining room with scuffed shoes. However, if I feel ambitious, I might try borrowing a black magic marker to cover up the scuff mark 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most are MUCH more clever/humorous/entertaining. I predict an early death.... Blame NCL and their Freestyle Dining. It's a slippery slope. Soon all of the specialty dining venues will have dress codes identical to the dress code at the Garden Cafe. Why would NCL do this? Because it would mean passengers could pack less, meaning fewer pieces of luggage to handle, which means less lost luggage, which means happier passengers, which means more demand for NCL cruises, which means they can raise their prices, which means more profit. That's why. On the other hand, you, ChefMateJRK, are part of this thread, and any lack of cleverness, humor, or entertainment value is a reflection on not only the rest of us, but on you, too. 😝 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saving my "sunshine" for the serious dress code threads. Those are the ones where folks are aghast that some would prefer comfort over pleasing the uptight crowd on a FREESTYLE cruise.😃 You know, the ones where people talk about wearing ties and such. That's where I find solid amusement value.😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruiseny4life Posted December 27, 2022 #17 Share Posted December 27, 2022 JUST WAIT A MINUTE?!?!?!?!?! Are you saying my Tom Brady Patriots jersey isn't appropriate in Ocean Blue?

I often find the MDR a bit cool at dinnertime, so no shorts there for me. As for my fellow diners - whatever is comfortable and sanitary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
