Bgwest Posted June 26, 2023 #5 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Bottom line - be comfortable and don't let the fashion police intimidate you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizaz Posted June 27, 2023 #9 Share Posted June 27, 2023 On MSC Virtuosa, I asked day one if there would be any strict dress code (Yacht Club). My butler informed they literally did not care as long as I wore shoes. My take is on vacation is I don't dress up; my daily attire was shorts/pants and a t-shirt pretty much at all times. Not sure if this is the same with MDR but in YC they literally couldn't care less. Not that it would matter, but the Casino also did not care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JamieLogical Posted June 27, 2023 #11 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I only ever saw men getting turned away from the MDR if they were wearing tank tops or sandals/flip-flops. Didn't see any women getting turned away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Pizaz's butler said as long as you wear shoes... even Europeans streak at Football (Soccer) games not just Americans at Baseball games. Streaking in the Yacht Club is it a thing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCteacherlovescruising Posted June 27, 2023 #14 Share Posted June 27, 2023 We’re on the Seaside now. At dinner, most of the ladies have been wearing sundresses and the men have mostly been in nice shorts with a polo or button up. Capris would be fine. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCteacherlovescruising Posted June 28, 2023 #17 Share Posted June 28, 2023 One man on our cruise forgot to bring dress pants for gala night, which is tomorrow. They asked in our dining room if he could wear shorts tomorrow night, explaining the situation, and they told him he would not be allowed in. Just something to keep in mind for gala night. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediumB Posted June 28, 2023 #18 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Just got off the Sinfonia from a Mediterranean cruise this past Thursday. Dress at dinner is very casual. I wore jean shorts and nice clean solid color t-shirts or polo shirts or t-shirts every night except formal night when I wore long jeans a a polo shirt without issue. I saw less people dressed up super fancy in Europe then I have in America and I didn't see a single guest in a tux in the dining room when we went. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSC trends to less formal, generally, than the more US established mainline cruise lines on this gala night tradition. Back in the day, when lady Allure of the Seas came first time to Europe, at my sailing, I felt quite nude in the Captain's reception wearing a dark suit and tie!... They dressed up to the nines!... It is getting my impression though that formality is being abandoned altogether wherever else on these post pandemic days. Sooner rather than later, captain's reception will be held as just another pool activity, obviously receiving you as you're on a pool deck everyday!... Times are changing!... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sailed on the Carnival Breeze out of Galveston last Summer and there were lots of people dressed in suits and tuxedos as well people in nice jeans and polos. On my first cruise in 2004 on the original Carnival Celebration they wouldn’t let you in in jeans or shorts on the formal night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSC calls them "gala nights". In my experience with MSC in Europe that is indeed "formal = tuxedo" for a minority, but far above smart casual for the vast majority (suits resp. dresses both long gowns and cocktail dresses).

On every cruise there will be at least one Elegant/Gala night. Which is a MSC's name for their formal night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's obviously not Cunard et al so it's not compulsory to wear a tux or make an effort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
