Bravo, pipedreams. What a winner! Perfect.

Thank you to all the HAL cruisers who still honor a degree of formality on formal dinner nights. You are cherished and appreciated. I love sharing the ship with you.

I think it is so great that you feel so strongly here. No, really, don't you find that people are so wishy washy these days? It's all so ridiculous. Speak up, say what you mean. If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything. Oh, yeah, that's one of my favorite sayings. Love it.:)

I agree!...It's formal dinner night not formal night!

If it is formal night why does HAL have the Lido for those who do not care to dress formally?...

Would you rather they be made to walk the plank? HAL, and most other lines that have a formal evening, offer this as an ALTERNATIVE to the dining room and PG for people who wish not to dress for formal night. I think most understand that the dress code is intended to apply to the public areas with the exception of the Lido which you rightly point out.

But then are people who eat in the Lido so as not to dress formally, are they not to attend the evening's entertainment and not have a drink in the lounge after dinner, and not gamble in the casino, and not go to the Crow's Nest because they are not in appropriate formal attire?

I doubt very much that this is HAL's intention.

I totally agree with you. The dress code discussions are ridiculous especially since most cruisers don't even read Cruise Critic. I think that most people do dress in the suggested style and if any cruise allows someone to not dress formally in the buffet then there is no need to dress formally for the night. I think everyone should just stay home and then they won't have to worry about what everyone else is wearing.

Staying awake after dinner was a challange for me, we dressed up for dinner as per the dress code of the day but we were not upset by people in casual clothes in the bar who had eaten in the Lido.

 

I would not worry if we sat in a show with someone wearing a tux on one side and someone with shorts on the other, if the show wasn't interesting enough to prevent me studying other guest's attire I would leave anyway LOL....
