Enforcement or not is a whole different subject, which doesn't negate the fact that there are published official guidelines which should be respected IMHO. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guidelines or "suggestions"? And if they're not going to enforce their SUGGESTION, then why bother having it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Scottdalfonso Posted June 17, 2023 #429 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Well its official... I am not bringing anything but shorts next cruise. I may wear them night one because it will be October in New Jersey, so it may get chilly...But I'm showing off my pasty white legs every meal! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, after 17 pages and seeing how uptight some get over shorts….I believe I’ll start wearing them. 😅 Yeah, shorts wearers of the world unite and revolt by wearing shorts everywhere on a ship and every night. Show off those hairy legs and ugly knees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you make a habit of looking under the table to inspect what others are wearing?🤔 Since they are wearing a long sleeve shirt I’d guess they are wearing long pants. You can check to confirm on your next sailing if you wish. All said, I was making a joke and haven’t looked for the open shirt patron and don’t frequent the MDR so I’m not sure if they exist. 12 hours ago, KroozNut said: Enforcement or not is a whole different subject, which doesn't negate the fact that there are published official guidelines which should be respected IMHO. Possibly another reason they’d wear pants. 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ret MP Posted June 18, 2023 #448 Share Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) The following is not a quote from anywhere else, just me discussing: A guideline: It is our policy that you follow the definitions of the different types of attire for the various evening activities/venues. Dressing outside of this guideline can or will result in denial of service/admittance. <Adverse action if guidelines aren't followed. In other words, if you don't stay within the guidelines and/or articulated parameters there will be/could be adverse actions. If you do stay within the guidelines, all is well. A Suggestion: We have defined the types of attire that are suggested based on the type of event/venue/activity, period. <No adverse action follows. In other words, we've given you what we feel are the types of clothing that we consider Formal, Smart Casual, and Casual. period. <Nothing follows. But, one thing that we must keep in mind, RCCL, et al, have covered themselves even if you don't follow a suggestion, they can make it up as they go along. They retain the right to make on-the-spot judgments about just about everything, even if not articulated anywhere, and/or things can be changed without notice, and/or the Captian has complete control. This is a quote from the "Guest Health, Safety and Conduct Policy Royal Caribbean Group (Last Updated: February 28, 2023)": www.royalcaribbean.com/content/dam/royal/resources/pdf/guest-conduct-policy.pdf "THIS POLICY IS SUBJECT TO THE CAPTAIN’S OVERRIDING AUTHORITY UNDER NATIONAL OR INTERNATIONAL LAW TO MAKE AND EXECUTE DECISIONS WHICH, IN THE CAPTAIN’S SOLE PROFESSIONAL JUDGEMENT, ARE NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND SECURITY OF THE SHIP. The terms of this Policy are valid from the date shown above, and will remain in full force until we choose, in our sole discretion, to update or modify all or part of the Policy. Updates or the modifications to the Policy may be made and shall be effective without publication, although we will endeavor to post any updates or modifications to the Policy in a timely manner and to a publicly accessible forum, including but not limited the various Royal Caribbean Group websites or mobile phone applications".
