Gabgab Posted October 18, 2006 #1 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I have been reading alot up on this whole idea about dressing up resort casual for dinner. This intails no jeans, shorts, etc.. My question is what is the NCL diffenition of tank tops? I know for alot of older folks this may seem slimple but most of my nice shirts that I wear during summer and spring may be considered tank top cause of their straps. I am 22 years old and I really dont want to have to pack and wear my "teacher" cloths on vacation. I do have a slight issue not be able to wear jeans either because I have quite a few pairs of jeans that are nicer then what I see many other people wear, but that goes into whole another debate wich will never be solved so I will stop myself now. Anyways thank u guys for your help in clairfying this for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judyf Posted October 18, 2006 #2 Share Posted October 18, 2006 You can wear the nice dress up tank tops. I do and so do many others. It's those long arm hole ones that I think they are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyz711 Posted October 18, 2006 #3 Share Posted October 18, 2006 you will have more of a problem at the Blue Mosque then you will on the ship. the only place you can't wear your jeans/shorts and tank tops will be the specialty restaurants and main dining rooms. then only for the dinner hours. at some of the historial sites, bare arms and shorts are forbidden.

sandyneck Posted October 18, 2006 #4 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I think the tank top thing is mostly for guys. A dressy tank top on a woman should be fine. I am just off the POH and I will say, the dress code was enforced. I saw no one in jeans or shorts in any of the restaurants for dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricron Posted October 19, 2006 #5 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Does a tank top have a collar? Does a t-shirt have a collar? If they won't allow a t-shirt, why would you believe they would allow a tank top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they won't allow a t-shirt, why would you believe they would allow a tank top? I think there's some confusion regarding casual "tank top" (or "muscle" shirt for men) and a sleeveless ladies top (or sleeveless dress). By your definition, a strapless ball gown wouldn't be appropriate on formal night because it doesn't have a collar! Casual tank top = Not at dinner Nice sleeveless top or sleeveless dress = Yes at dinner beachchick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I think the shirt collar rule is rather silly. My husband has some rather nice collarless shirts that are not tooooooo casual in my opinion and he wears them with nice kaki pants with no problem. I think they have this rule so that people are not over doing the casual clause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's never felt or looked out of place when we eat at nice restaurants. Or "country club casual" cruises... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they won't allow a t-shirt, why would you believe they would allow a tank top? I think also for younger adult male cruisers the collar distinction fails in some other ways. For example, depending on the situation I think a clean, pressed t-shirt with a tasteful stripe around the chest would be appropriate with khakis on a non-formal night, while some of the collared-type shirts out there these days have tacky 70's-style embroidery on them, or are even sold pre-worn with holes already in them and would not be appropriate in a specialty restaurant.

LuvBNatC Posted October 19, 2006 #13 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I agree that the "no tank top" rule is aimed at men. No one wants to look at a hairy guy in a sleeveless, scoop-neck-and-back shirt outside of the pool area. Women's evening clothes often have thin straps, scoop necklines and low backs, and they're considered even nicer than "resort casual." That's because most women don't have to worry about dropping chest and pit hairs in their soup. :eek: :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidtheNight Posted October 19, 2006 #14 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Definitely bring a lightweight sweater with you for the dining rooms as it can be a little chilly in there at times....not cold.....but enough to give you some goose bumps.
