Checked bag, unless the bottle 3 oz or less. 😁

At least getting out quickly gets you up to the pool deck faster so one get throw a towel on desired seat(s). Allows for a later sleep the following day. (Tip discussions welcome as well). 

Everybody knows that the hairy-legged, burping, farting, croc and shorts wearing plebeians are the same ones who remove auto-tips.  Never mind tipping extra.

But will you shave your legs? 

Maybe just one.  That'll reduce my offense rate by 50%!

They probably remember your shoes and hairy legs. 

* flip flops

Ima have to invest in some crocs before my next cruise.

Your assumptions continue....

So why else would you ask my name?

Given what you have disclosed about your cruising history, there is a good chance we've shared a ship at some point. I'm sure you remember seeing me at dinner.😉

 What is your real life name? I'll try to remember if I ever sailed with you.

Wait, you memorized the manifest from each sailing?

Impressive.

Never attempted for many reasons.

I'm not a complainer. I feel for stuff , although in some cases it was warranted.

Right, that's obvious. 😁

Absolutely not.

 

Why not? Strings, nudity, wifebeaters and so on are all choices. I am sure all will have own reasons.

 

 Just don't look and enjoy your dinner.

I like this term a Personal Oasis.

Ship's MDR does not strike me as PO at all.

 

In some reason I feel as people would be really upset if drags will make obvious appearance. 😉

🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Stop it, you're killing me!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just now, Tatka said:

 

Not yet? When people say nothing can affect their enjoyment of dinner and everyone should have a choice they need to be ready for various choices. It is not only THEIR choices.

Ridiculous. 🙄

Strings? Nudity?

If there is no minimum, there is no minimum.

 

No irony,

Where did anybody propose strings or nudity?

If you have to resort to a straw man argument, you must know you're on shaky ground.

With such unsolicited advice you do not strike me as a person who accepts different opinions.

 

As for different opinions... we took multiple cruises with 8 lines and figured out line that works the best for us. Minimum, maximum standards. We do not have high demands, but there is a bare minimum.

 

Also I doubt you are completely truthful. You won't be comfortable with everything that people might want to wear. But as Overton window widens you will get the same proposition.

So much irony here.

As far as thinking you can impose "high demands", or even a "bare minimum" of demands on other passengers, good luck with that. 🤣

During last 20 years we sailed 35+ times to Caribbeans, about 15  times to Bahamas and Bermuda. We sail with my husband. It is our lifestyle choice.  Do you think we do not know something about hot destinations and relaxation? LOL.

 

I can write books about it.

 

Casual pants/jeans for 1 hour a day absolutely do not prevent relaxation.

Likewise, seeing somebody in shorts for an hour should not prevent relaxation.  

And realistically, you don't even see the shorts for an hour, you see them for a minute as they walk by.  It's your choice to let it stick in your craw like this.  Kind of sad really....

Everybody burps and farts.

But when you wear the proper attire, it doesn't stink.

It is not Cunard so there is no mandatory evening dress code in all venues. I get that. What I do not get is on the ship with various venues from buffet and pizzeria, Cafe Promenade etc to MDR if people do not want to put even minimal dress code why do they need to go to MDR? They have plenty venues where it is completely fine to be in shorts and any type of shoes. It is not like it is MDR or being hungry.

It is completely fine to wear shorts in the dining room.  It's completely fine to wear a tux on Tropical Night. It's completely fine to wear dark clothes on White Night.

I shudder to think how many cruises have been ruined by the lax enforcement of all of those suggested dress codes.

Florida departing cruises yes, not necessarily the case for Royal departing cruises worldwide.

 

Only mentioning because I saw folks turned away from the MDR on Anthem out of Southampton last summer.

Shorts were very common in the dining room on the holy land cruise last month.

Can you decide to go have a lil snack in the WJ to hold you off until you get a late night dinning or it's one or the other?

That depends.  Did you purchase the Unlimited Buffet Package (UBP)?

Yes.

You're way too optimistic. 🤣

Only for "The Book" in 270.

Yes, shorts are fine.

Quick stop at the WJ to grab cereal boxes.

There's no time to washy washy!!

When the lifeboats are full, time honored maritime tradition takes over.
