New to Oceania

[Book Lover]

We're taking the Barcelona to Venice cruise in July - our first with Oceania. I just got info in the mail about what to expect onboard. One of the dress code items I was wondering about was the no sandals rule in the dining areas. How can that be? All my summer shoes are nice sandals. Can anyone clarify for me?

I sure would like that clarified as well. My attire on all my Regent cruises has included dressy sandals at dinner, almost exclusively.

I think you will find that most of the ladies wear nice sandals to the dining room. I know I did, didn't realize that they were prohibited. Never got stopped. I did see some people sent to change from dressy shorts (men) and flip flops.

 

I suspect that refers to men (those sandals with socks!) and flip flops for everyone.

I wore dressy sandals I think they mean no flip flops, birks etc....

 

Sandals for men are a no-no for dinner but ok the rest of the day.

Can you get dressy sandals for men???;)

 

No sneakers for dinner either.

On a Regatta Caribbean cruise, can ladies wear nice capri pants with a dressier top , or should I only bring dressy slacks or skirts and dresses?

[potterhill]

I wore capris that were linen and had matching jacket, quite dressy. I think if you could wear it to a strict ( re dress code) golf course or country club, you can wear it.
