Alaska Cruise Dinner Attire

[GfromOH]

This is our first experience on SS Shadow. Considering the venues and timing I am wondering if the 2 Formal night's attire is expected/enforced? Many thanks for the help!

Host Dan, could we start a sticky on dress so that we don't see the same question asked over and over and over again? PLEASE

Thanks

Silversea's dress code does not change with itineraries -- follow the rules printed in the daily Chronicle.

When we did Alaska on SS in '08 all the passengers we saw abided by the rules. It was a lot of fun and we enjoyed playing dress-up.

We sailed Alaska in 2009 on the Silver Shadow.

Just about everyone was in formal attire that evening. Only two exceptions were some passengers who were in informal attire as that is permitted in the La Terrazza specialty restaurant and one man who was not in either attire.

You'll find that just about everyone follows the recommended attire.

We just (yesterday) got back from doing Alaska on the Shadow, a 7 day cruise. We had one formal night. I didn't notice anyone conspicuously under-dressing. Most me wore a dinner jacket or dark suit. The ladies dressed nicely, too.

As an aside, one of the most comical times I saw on this cruise was when a woman (I won't say lady) came to lunch in the Terrace restaurant wearing her bathrobe and flip-flops! They seated her regardless. As I was leaving the restaurant, the head waiter apologized to me. :cool:

That's unreal.

Maybe she was "deliriously relaxed" from her morning spa treatment? What better advertising for the spa?

OR

Luggage was lost at sea?

Please tell me that her hair was not in curlers.

[bobndee]

No, her hair wasn't in curlers. It appeared damp, as if she had just gotten out of the shower or the pool. Since we were in Alaska and the air temperature was in the mid-sixties, I doubt she had been in the pool.
