dinner the first night?

[kjaa0913]

is there a dress code the first night you on the ship for dining room dining and is there dinner the first night?

[Abberboo]

Yes, there is dinner in the dining room the first night and there is no dress code. I was on serenade in April of this year and went to the dining room in the clothes I traveled all day in b/c my luggage hadnt arrived yet. :)

Hi. Yes there will be dinner served the first night and it is always casual as some folks will not have received their luggage. Have fun!

It is very casual the first night since many have not gotten their luggage, I always carry a fresh shirt in my carry on so I can at least change that before dinner.

There is a dress code for first night. It's casual and there is a sign outside the dining room that says NO SHORTS, NO TANK TOPS, but like all other dress code issues on RCI, the staff choose to ignore it.

Are smart jeans and nice top ok for that. Also, would that be ok for the kids on the first night?????

We've had to eat the first night in shorts before because our luggage didn't arrive till waaaaay later- while we apologized to our tablemates, it didn't stop us from enjoying our dinner in the diningroom- after all it wasn't exactly our fault! Sometimes people just don't know the circumstances involved.

Everyone gets a pass the first night because of the luggage issues.

 

Everyone gets a pass all the rest of the nights because the crew doesn't want to tick the fashion challenged off and jeopardize their tips..:)

Beware of the fashion police! Many on these boards will talk a big game about "appropriate" dress but not a single one of them would ever have the nerve to say something to your face about your clothing...

 

Some people waste their entire cruise judging you by your clothing... don't let them bother you... they apparently can't find anything better to do with their time onboard...

Yes, there is dinner the first night. The dress code is casual.

A suggestion, if you'd be more comfortable in something other than what you traveled all day in, put a change of clothes in your carry on bag along with your swim suits, gym clothes, or whatever else you want to put in there. That way you can enjoy your first day on the ship, shower if you'd like and put on fresh clothes. Never know, might make your first night's dinner that much more enjoyable. Happy sailing.

That shouldn't happen even though I know it does :mad:. The staff shouldn't have to make decisions based on impending tips.

[BillandKateC]

Actually , We saw people turned away at least 3 times on the Liberty for not wearing the correct dress code. But this was not on the first night

I agree. The messenger gets punished for passing along the message.:mad:
