I love reading people's responses on here, such a variety. My only SS cruise so far has been the Galapagos islands so of course the dress code was very casual.
However, I am taking a 23 day cruise on SS in May, San Fransisco to New York, and so have been reading up about the dress code on the Silver Shadow. Sure enough it is much more formal dress and strictly enforced they say. As someone who lives in the heat in Palm Springs California I live in shorts and nice shirts, so a challenge. I am happy to rise to the challenge, dust off my sports coats, add my individual flair to each outfit, and enjoy the change.
