cruisegirl1 Posted June 18, 2023 #452 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Wear what you want but………. I thought the SUGGESTED attire was an example of what to wear in each category. Not a suggestion to wear formal, casual etc. m 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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". The policy doesn't address what people can/should wear to the dining room other than, maybe, no public nudity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, apparently many of us, including me, don't mind getting down in the weeds and discuss and discuss and discuss when not traveling, doing home maintenance, figuring out what day of the week it is, watching cruise Youtube videos, watching reruns of Murder She Wrote, and shopping, what else is there to do? Well, lots but, I prefer discussing and sometimes learning something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you missed it but earlier in this thread a 'warning' was given that allowing shorts in the mdr for dinner was just the start. Next would be dripping bathing suits and if still not bothered, it was only a matter of time until nudity was permitted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did a double take recently learning of a drama show titled "She Wrote Murder". I hope it is not an updated version of Angela Lansbury solving crimes dressed inappropriately.😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if they're not going to enforce their SUGGESTION, then why bother having it? Semantics.. And don't ask me why they bother having guidelines, that's a question for the cruise line.

And the poster that you referenced somehow believes that boring, long posts help or are even read. We all can read from RCCL's website.

One pair of shoes sure helps with packing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was important to Royal (the hosts), they would enforce a dress code. Since they (the hosts) don't, it's not up to passengers either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruise_co Posted June 18, 2023 #475 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Just out of curiosity, for those that do not like shorts in the dining room, if you flew to the port or when you do fly, did/do you also don a suit and tie or a dress, heels and white gloves? This was also the dress code of airlines a few years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
