Dining Room Attire

[imirish]

I sailed on the Holiday in the spring and wore nice shorts and polos to the dining room each night. Is this attire okay for the entire Carnival fleet?

 

Thanks.

Absolutely! The shorts would be discouraged on Elegant night (if you have one) however.

So.....Instead of a suit, do you think hubs would be good with a shirt tie, khakis and deck shoes on Elegant night and not be out of place??????

 

Sure would be nice to not lug dress shoes and be able to just have khakis

that would be fine, have seen men without a tie, just nice dress shirt.

Can't get DH to wear a tie on CE night, just a dress shirt, Dockers & walking shoes.

We just got of the Liberty this morning and the majority of men had polo shirt or shirt and tie no coat on the elegant nights. There were a few men in suits the first elegant night but we didn't see any on the second elegant night.

What about the ladies??? Any ladies in evening gowns, especially on the 2nd night?

I guess what I really am asking, is that I like to wear gowns on a cruise, and I dont much care if the majority does not, but would I be quite out of place??

Wear whatever you'd like. No one is judging anyone (we save that for on here) ;)

No, you won't be out of place at all. You'll see a gowns, cocktail dresses and dressy slacks. Long dresses are very "in" right now for all age women, more so than in the past. Wear what you want to wear and enjoy your cruise.

Yes it was a question although not very well written. I have decided I will wear gowns on the elegant night but what the questions was would I be out of place compared to the majority.... I dont think the answers would of changed my mind, but just wanted to know if I was going to feel really out of place. But thanks all for the responses. Sounds like I will be just fine with my choice.

 

I have not sailed Carnival in many years when they still had formal nights. I am excited that I can wear all kind of things one the same cruise; from formal gowns to nice jeans. My last cruise 2 cruises were on the Queen Mary which is formal all the way, quite different from Carnival.... LOL where most are trying to come up with what to wear for elegant night, my problem is trying to figure our what to wear for non elegant nights. My closet goes from shorts and tanks to business suits for work to gowns without too much in between.
