keebae Posted July 26, 2004 #1 Share Posted July 26, 2004 This may have been answered by someone before but maybe I just missed it. If we have dinner in the Caribe Cafe are capri pants appropriate or should I change into slacks (or what I would wear on non-formal nights in the dining room)? Also, what would be the appropriate attire eating in the Caribe Cafe on formal nights? (do I need to be dressed up as if I was going to the dining room) Thanks so much for everyones assistance.

monk888 Posted July 26, 2004 #2 Share Posted July 26, 2004 keebae, Cafe Caribe is definitely less formal than the dining rooms. On non-formal nights, I saw people in there in shorts. On formal night, I strolled through there and people in suits and evening gowns were very few and far between. You would be just fine as you described.

sue d. miller Posted July 26, 2004 #3 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Absolutely, much more casual!!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monk888 Posted July 26, 2004 #4 Share Posted July 26, 2004 I hate to admit to just what a pathetic wretch I am, but on formal night, after I got out of my monkey suit, I had a craving for all you can eat lobster. So I threw on some shabby shorts, came out of the Riviera Deck by the Aft pool, walked by Outriggers, grabbed yet another Strawberry Daquiri, went into the rear entrance of Cafe Caribe, grabbed three lobster tails and disappeared back into the darkness from whence I came. How's that for casual...and tacky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mii Posted July 26, 2004 #7 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Monk: that sounds good to me too. Love lobster. Practically the only time I have lobster is on a cruise. Here in Calif. it is a tad expensive so I pig out when I am on the ship. Marilyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keebae Posted July 26, 2004 Author #8 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Thanks for the quick replys everyone. Monk - sounds like my kind of meal, the more lobster tails the better. Another question - we will probably dine in the Caribe Cafe several nights, can we order a bottle of wine and if we don't finish it will they hold it for us to finish off another night (just like you can do in the regular dining rooms)? Thanks again. Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseFever Posted July 26, 2004 #9 Share Posted July 26, 2004 I ate with shorts on and was not looked down upon at all. It's kind of a weird deal though. You come off the buffet with your plate of food and go to find a table but they're all set with tablecloths and wine glasses. I think if you went in with the idea of ordering off the menu you should dress up more. If you're just going to hit the buffet or have been to the Horizon Court buffet and are just continuing the grazing ritual then shorts work fine.

monk888 Posted July 26, 2004 #13 Share Posted July 26, 2004 keebae, There were wine glasses on the tables, but I didn't notice anyone drinking bottles of wine. At least I didn't order any of it. I just don't drink wine. It gives me a headache. I prefer Tanqueray Gin when on land and Daquiri's on the water. Ah, eating Lobster and Daquiri's in tattered shorts on the high seas. That's the ticket! As Martha would say, "It's a good thing!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keebae Posted July 26, 2004 Author #14 Share Posted July 26, 2004 CrusingIsLife - you mentioned a menu in the Caribe Cafe - is that during the dinner hours or later during the Bistro hours and what kinds of things are on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sue d. miller Posted July 26, 2004 #15 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Monk, What time did the bistro, with the sit down menu start? Was there a buffet at the same time?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monk888 Posted July 27, 2004 #16 Share Posted July 27, 2004 The Bistro in Cafe Caribe is listed as starting at 11PM and lasting til 4AM. I was in there much earlier than that and the tables were set up with table cloths, wine glasses and the like and the buffet was still going on. I can't remember being in there after 11.

TexEm Posted July 27, 2004 #21 Share Posted July 27, 2004 We were in Caribe Cafe late at night (long after midnight) almost every night and the buffet line was always open. The waiters tried to encourage people who wanted to order from the menu to sit in one area, and shooed away the buffet only people. (they even cordoned off areas with strategically placed chairs). The menu was very limited, but what was on it was very good--great steak, great omelettes, always a pasta dish. I don't think dress matters, we saw it all, and it was okay. We were there all dressed up one night to celebrate my niece being a finalist in Princess Idol--she had won a bottle of champagne--and the waitstaff brought over a bucket and uncorked it for her. Other nights we were in shorts. This is a rhetorical question, but "who cares?" (from reading these boards, I know some do) Monk888--okay, what are shivs and screws?
