DH and ties

[nycruiser1975]

DH really want to relax on cruise. He wears ties 6 days a week for long hours. Both of us want to go to Captain's night, but he would rather not wear a tie. What he has in mind is one of his linen suits. The top is a button up linen shirt, no tie. Will he be able to attend:(

On NCL you never have to dress up (no ties required EVER). Resort casual dress is always fine (even on the night of the Captain's dinner). Only jeans, shorts and t-shirts are forbidden evenings in the dining rooms.

Yes, he'll be just fine. I understand exactly how he feels, having worn a suit, white shirt, and tie to work for twenty-six years. Slacks and a collared shirt are all that's required for evening meals in the dining rooms. NCL has a realistic attitude to cruise ship attire, not requiring passengers to dress up unnecessarily.

He doesn't even need the suit if he doesn't want it, let alone the tie. Dockers with a polo shirt is perfectly fine.

I saw quite a few with those linen matching shirts and pants on the cruise--they were just fine on all nights...and days :-)

I have never worn more than a polo shirt and kahki/dockers pants ANY night, including Captains Dinner and Captain's Reception on ANY NCL cruise that I have been on. Only about 40% of the people do dress up.
