Hi, I am not......I have been a part of Cruise Critic for 20+ years and no matter what the cruise line happens to be there is ALWAYS a dress code thread (or 10) LOL..and it is never ending. People love to discuss, argue, put their opinions out there..........it is one of things that makes it a public forum. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted December 24, 2023 #258 Share Posted December 24, 2023 If the wording is "collared shirt," a polo fully complies. There are other ways to specify a dress shirt (e.g. 'button-front shirt,' or incorrectly 'button-down shirt' which only refers to the Brooks Brothers collar style but is generally applied more broadly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first half of the movie takes place on a cruise ship. Cary Grant, Deborah Kerr - yes, I know, times have changed. But how beautifully dressed passengers were, and the way standards were adhered to and not whined about. I think that is why some of us are still fixated on the fantasy. And I think something has been lost. The cruise experience, after all, continues to be a fantasy. That's what they are selling in their brochures and their advertising. OK, got it. I will do my thing onboard and be just fine with others. 1957, I think that is the problem :). At least, where I live, people don’t even dress in suits to interview anymore. I typically wear a tshirt, shorts, and sometimes even sandals when going into the office. It’s just in today’s culture, formalwear is just not a thing as many are interested in. The older generations still like it, as it’s something they grew up with and always did. The younger demographic, who Silversea will need to reach out to more and more as time moves on, just don’t usually have the same view (on average) about attire.

How is a polo sports attire? we have been to many places that require “collared” shirts and polos always work. In fact, it’s bizarre in that we have been turned away for a really nice high end cashmere sweater, and had to go to switch into a cheap polo we had in the room when we were going to Remy on Disney Fantasy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another case where the English doesn't translate to the American. Since Silversea operates on the US dollar, I guess they use the American definition! 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Work for Tiramisu Posted December 24, 2023 #270 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Last time I was in Hamilton, Bermuda, banker types could be seen walking with their briefcases, with suit and tie & Bermuda Shorts. Like a mullet - business on top, party below the belt!! I think perhaps a new cruise line is in order, to take advantage of an obviously growing opportunity - Slovenly Seas! All casual, all the time, with maybe a few Bubba days interspersed. Combing hair optional! Hun, where's my flip flops?? Well-seasoned greetings to my fellow watercoolers.... 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to dress like Grant and Kerr, by all means, go for it. If I happen to see you dressed that way, I'll very likely smile. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't look like Deborah Kerr, and I certainly don't anticipate meeting Cary Grant onboard, but I expect to enjoy fine dining in lovely surroundings and indulge my little fantasies - and exchange smiles with fellow passengers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s football not soccer. 🙂 I’ve a few of them… but won’t be wearing to dinner… even the ones with collars! By the sound of things, that big guy in the bright green Hawaiian shirt for his formal outfit back in 2016 might now be considered overdressed! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
