Pool wear for men

[wines60]

I've know there is a thread regarding wearing the ship porvided robes to the pool. There are many "coverup" options for women, but what is recommended for men instead of that oft maligned cabin robe? Tee shirt, button up shirt? I'm looking for ideas before I start packing for our upcoming cruise. Want to make sure DH and I will pass inspection!! :D

My husband wears a tee shirt with his swim trunks to the pool. He does change into dry clothes before sitting down to eat in the Lido:)

There, that was fairly simple, wasn't it?;)

[fsdj1097]

How about flip flops and a baseball cap? LOL!!!

Actually, any shirt will do.

My husband always wears one of his Red Sox, Patriots, or Celtics t-shirts with his swim trunks to the pool.
(Based on his t-shirt collection, I'll bet you can tell what part of the country we are from):)
Enjoy the Zuiderdam! We cruised the Zuiderdam last April and enjoyed the BEST service EVER!

On formal nights, you may want to try one of these Utilikilts...

Going to the pool I wear one of my "DAMN SHIPS" tee shirts and my swim trunks and a pair of sandals.

The only other things I need are my sunglasses, ship card, a book and my ipod.

Don't make it more complicated than necessary.

And Taxmantoo - A Utilikilt? Really...that's like the jeans of kilts! Casual night at best for those!

[luvs2travl]

A nice T-shirt and some flips or sandals. That's what I've noticed most men wearing...

It's always so much easier for the men, isn't it? ;)

;)If he hasn't been to the gym in a long, long time, this might be a good pool cover up:

They REALLY do have a "tuxedo" model...and, best of all, they are only $566.00 :eek:

[Krazy Kruizers]

My DH wears bermudas over his swim trunks and for the top he uses either a tee shirt that he wears in the gym or a polo shirt.

[cccole]

My husband prefers a short sleeve button shirt so he doesn't have to pull things over his head, especially if not totally dry. Cherie

[cb at sea]

T-shirt...hawaiian shirt....that's all he needs! Unless he's wearing a Speedo (which he shouldn't!), then shorts will be needed, too!

[kelleherdl]

I was wondering how long it would take to start the speedo bashing. :D

DH loves aft pool and trots himself out there at one point or another every sunny day wearing his swimsuit and tee or polo jersey and flipflops.


Wines........ Don't fret too much about what to wear. I'm sure you and your DH will be just fine. Anyone who cares enough to ask about tee/polo vs robe for coverup clearly is sensitive to not offending. Your choices will be good ones. Look ahead to having fun, enjoying yourselves and destressing. (is that a word? :confused: :)

[iancal]

There is something seriously wrong with our society when we have to worry about/discuss what cover ups are appropriate, in absolutely everyone's opinion, at the pool on board a cruise ship. Just go on vacation and have a great time....do as you please and don't read half the the nonsense on this board as to what is acceptable and when. Most of it, including mine, are just comments from people who live in in Dry Snake, Nev. and don't get out much.

[savannahgirl1]

My husband wears a t-shirt over his board shorts and a pair of sandals.

[nycruise]

Make sure no one wears a baseball cap!:rolleyes:

It gets me curious: why would wearing a speedo be unacceptable?

Despite very good bavarian beer the BMI in the US is still a bit more than what we see around us...... not by much, though!;)

[m steve]

if you have a six pack and are in your 20's you wear baggy trunks and if you are over 250 lbs. then a string bikini or thong suit.:eek:

[cruznseas]

I didn't know there was a dress code at the pool:eek:

Next up is discussion as to what we need to wear to sleep in :D

That could be a very important discussion since some people seem to think we HAL cruisers sleep 20 hours a day ;)

Based on the sun worshipers in a Munchen public park, anyone wearing a speedo would have been over dressed! :p

We'll have to take your word for it, as we never get to visit Munich in summer, its only 100 miles away, but because we own a hotel in a vacation area we are very busy in summer. Must have been a sight (:eek:) though! Most Germans are not undernourished....:D

Oh, that one is easy and no need to pack anything. ;)

Didn't that also apply to around the pool on your charter?:rolleyes:

No, not around the pools. There was another deck set aside for that. :)
