Chops breakfast dress question

Sorry for starting a "dress code" thread. If we have breakfast in Chops, is a nice shirt and shorts O.K? Or is there no dress code for breakfast. From what I understand, one of the specialty restaurants will have breakfast for suite guests.

really no code except you need a shirt, tank top is ok, I normally have on bathing suit and tank top and crocs. Same code as windjammer, for breakfast and lunch ( but must be GS and above)

Thank you for your reply

no shirt, no shoes, no service. there is no dress code (outside of the MDR at DINNER only) to speak of. but pool attire is only really acceptable in the Windjammer and only if you have covered up.

thanks everyone. Good to know I don't have to dress up for breakfast.

I have heard that in the MDR the turn away men in tank tops. Not sure if they allow it in chops.

You could even wear your PJ's :D

ONLY at dinner.

Chops is in same deck as pools so most people dress for the pool, suite people also have dedicated area on most ships by the pool, so it is easy getting a chair, suite perks are nice

ONLY at dinner.

Our son-in-law was turned away at lunch in the MDR and asked to change his tank top. Like in everything else it seems, consistency is not Royal's forte! :D

Ooo, I think you might be onto something... the ultimate casual cruise - can you imagine? :D:p

I don't think they would even let me in the city dump with my PJ's.

No tank tops on men in ANY of the restaurants, except, perhaps WJ.

I had tank top every day in Chops for breakfast and lunch, did not see any restrictions, also for Johnny Rockets, I would never wear that in the evening on the ship. MDR allowed shorts and t-shirts at dinner on this cruise on Navigator even though there was signs that they were not allowed

Like I said in my post above, consistency with rules/policies is not Royal's strong point. :D

I agree for MDR, but I never have seen anything against tank tops in RCCL policy for the restaurants in question, again this is for daytime not evening

I was turned away for breakfast in the MDR on the Allure. I had to go put on a T-Shirt.

My point, exactly...whether or not it is in their "policy", sometimes they say OK, sometimes they say no and sometimes they say nothing. I'm not disputing what you say, but from my experience and others who posted here, They are not consistent. :)

We saw a couple of men that were asked change from their tank tops.

In chops for breakfast??

Am I really the first "wear the robe" poster. :D

Sorry to disagree with you, but I (DH) was declined admittance to the MDR for wearing a sleeveless shirt to breakfast on Vision. While it is ok for women to wear any number of sleeveless items, apparently men had to have sleeves.

Now that isn't a rant, I'm not mad, looking to complain or change the "rule", just informing. :D

I asked that very question on our last cruise in a GS and was told don't consider it Chops it's just a private space for suite guests to have a nice breakfast. Chops just happens to be the best location for the needs of the guests and the ship. We usually eat at chops for dinner twice a cruise and I wear a suit, whereas at breakfast I may wear boat shorts and a t-shirt and just don't consider them the same venue. And if this is your first chance to experience this perk my experience has been EXTREMELY positive, It blows away the service and food quality of both the windjammer and main dining room. They have menus now on most ships, but used to just say tell us what you want and we'll make it for you, if they don't happen to be able to accomodate they will go to the WJ and gets the food there. A+ for Suite Chops Breakfast!!

Glad to hear that. We didn't try it on our last cruise so we will be sure to this time. Thanks
