Dining Room attire question

[rideev]

We are taking our first Holland America Cruise (Baltic States) this fall.  We will be travelling by train through Europe prior to this cruise.  Then we are on a Princess Cruise (after another train trip) for a Transatlantic home.  We will be very limited on luggage.

 

Question, we will not be able to pack a Suit coat or even a sports coat, as we are limited.  Will this pose a problem in the main dining room?  We will not be sloppy.  No Jeans, no t-shirts, etc.  Slacks and Collared shirt for me, slacks and nice top for DW.

Slacks and a shirt with a collar (could be a button-down shirt, could be a golf/polo shirt) is all you need, including for "dressy" nights.

If you read the thread about Gala nights that was started about 90 minutes before yours, you will see tons of info on dress codes.

That's all I ever wear...no matter the attire listed....and I'm good to go.  You will be fine.  Pack lite.

No need for the jacket but one can still have one available by wearing it on the train trips. I do not fly and take the train and wear a proper blazer with wool slacks and dress shoes  on the train and that opens up space in the suitcase.
