dana.carter17 Posted November 3, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) Hey Cruisers! I need some feedback on a formal night idea... We are cruising soon with 2 toddlers, 2 grandparents, my husband, and myself. I thought a cute, tongue-in-cheek idea for a formal night would be to have all of us (including the kiddos) wearing Tuxedo T shirts/"Gown" T shirts. Thoughts? (For your mind's eye - erase all beer cans and drunken smiles - lol!!) We would be put together and cute, but the guys would probably be in jeans or khakis and the gals in skirts. I think having a multi-generational group in these outfits would be cute, but I don't know if others would be offended by my sense of humor. Thoughts, please! ETA: Cruiseline is Royal Caribbean, and it's one of the Dreamworks Experience ships with Dreamworks characters and events. Thanks :) Edited November 3, 2017 by dana.carter17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookwife Posted November 3, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 3, 2017 me personally, find those things tacky and inappropriate especially on formal night. what cruise line? it may fly better on say NCL or Carnival than it would on Celebrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dana.carter17 Posted November 3, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Yes, thanks for your response. It's Royal Caribbean...It's also one of the Dreamworks ships (more kid oriented, lots of Dreamworks characters and events), if that makes any difference!

dana.carter17 Posted November 3, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted November 3, 2017 But put on your extra thick skin t-shirt before you post. They're still pretty uptight over in the Royal forum.;) Hahahaha :) Well I certainly don't want to ruin anyone's cruises with a little family t-shirt fun. Maybe I'll just get the babies some cute tuxedo onesies and leave it at that ;) SaveSave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted November 3, 2017 #8 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Welcome to Cruise Critic. T-shirt tuxedo for the children is okay. But not for the adults on formal nights. JMO -- I would not like to see the adults dressed like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herfnerd Posted November 3, 2017 #9 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Since u asked our opinion, I think its a bad idea for the adults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cate104 Posted November 3, 2017 #10 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Why not try it on a non-formal night? I personally think it sounds like a cute idea, but know that it may offend others -I wouldn’t want you catching any flack from it.

Rare geoherb Posted November 3, 2017 #12 Share Posted November 3, 2017 It sounds like a cute idea if you're planning on eating in the buffet on formal night. You might not make it into the dining room dressed like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hflors Posted November 3, 2017 #13 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I think it is a great idea for a visit to the kids club! Other than that a T-shirt doesn't seem appropriate for anything other than hanging at the pool or in the buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryjaden Posted November 3, 2017 #14 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I think it's a great idea....just not on formal night. If you do it that way one night, make sure and get a group photo. On one of our cruises during formal night we were all dressed formal and one of the photo areas had a bunch of "goofy" props we all had. It is one of our favorite photos.

MJSailors Posted November 3, 2017 #15 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Babies’ outfits -yes,adults,no. IMHO the babies will be cute , the adults.... not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSOTall1 Posted November 3, 2017 #16 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Almost guaranteed you wont be allowed in the MDR. I say almost because it's hard to tell when RCCL enforces the rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatbush Flyer Posted November 3, 2017 #17 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Hey Cruisers! I need some feedback on a formal night idea... We are cruising soon with 2 toddlers, 2 grandparents, my husband, and myself. I thought a cute, tongue-in-cheek idea for a formal night would be to have all of us (including the kiddos) wearing Tuxedo T shirts/"Gown" T shirts. Thoughts? (For your mind's eye - erase all beer cans and drunken smiles - lol!!) We would be put together and cute, but the guys would probably be in jeans or khakis and the gals in skirts. I think having a multi-generational group in these outfits would be cute, but I don't know if others would be offended by my sense of humor. Thoughts, please! ETA: Cruiseline is Royal Caribbean, and it's one of the Dreamworks Experience ships with Dreamworks characters and events. Thanks :) So many others have ruined the whole concept of "formal," why not be remembered as the family that put the "final nail in the coffin."

You will all just look incredibly stupid and show your lack of taste is you try to pull off that stunt. Cute - NO WAY!!! DON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest that you post on that board this item plus any and al RCI specific questions. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=-1&f=83 Keith Bad idea, iMO> A T shirt is just that no matter what if any image is on it. Not a good idea for dinner in dining room. Remember, you asked our opinion. :)T shirts do not belong in the dining room at night espeically on a formal night. :eek: Edited November 3, 2017 by sail7seas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBC29 Posted November 3, 2017 #21 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Formal night NO - Embarkation night might be better as dress code rules are pretty lax. Not to mention bonus pic with the shirts during muster drill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sparks1093 Posted November 3, 2017 #22 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Sorry, another no vote here for formal night. Whether it will be allowed on non-formal night will depend on if RCI allows t-shirts on those nights, as others have said a t-shirt is a t-shirt.

KristieB Posted November 3, 2017 #23 Share Posted November 3, 2017 If you are wanting to do it mainly for the pics, then I say do it. I probably wouldn’t go in the MDR in them. Otherwise, I think it’s cute. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP, have you considered what you will do if you are all gturned away form the dining room and they refuse to seat you? So Formal night would be T shirt and Jeans? What then is suitable for casual wear? :loudcry: I hope you give this 'fun idea' more thought. Tired hungry toddlers does not sound like fun.
