Mixed signals about staying dressed up after dinner..

[jimmy2x]

Everyone can leave this thread now. The newest smoking thread is well underway - that should keep the juices flowing!:D

[heathriel]

Here's the simple solution: don't buy clothing that's uncomfortable.

 

I only have one gown that is uncomfortable to wear (all sequins, and it just itches really horribly under the armpits), and I didn't bring it with me this trip. My husband switched to Armani tuxedos because he likes the feel of the breathable wool fabric better than the poly-blend cheap stuff you get off the rack. A friend of ours had full highland garb (with sporran) made for him because that's what makes him feel comfortable when he gets dressed up.

 

And as for shoes, "wear them in" before your wear them "out", and they won't hurt your feet.

 

Your clothing doesn't have to be expensive to look nice, and it doesn't have to be uncomfortable either. Find something that feels comfortable and it will probably look more flattering on you than something that makes you itch or fidget all night, because you'll be more relaxed.

[suse]

I agree. It would be awful to be itchy and fidgety all evening. You'd probably look kind of funny anyway. I mean, being that itchy.:):eek:

[bonsat]

i'm all for wearing evening clothes after dinner.

after we finish eating, we should get into our pajamas and slippers and robes and get a glass of milk and a late snack in the casino or wherever they serve it before we turn in for the night.

[iancal]

Yes, if we could just control the bugs, all would wonderful. But when one has an itch, one has to scratch it. Our formal clothing is not uncomfortable at all. And we have lots of it at home because we wear it often for business. It is just that our casual clothing is more comfortable and closer to our vacation preferences. Perhaps there is some sort of rehabilitation program available for us or some self study courses on behaviour modification.

Do you put on your pj's and slippers and robe and then go and get a glass of milk and late snack in the casino before you turn in? I mean, are you walking around the ship like that? Way too funny. You are a hoot!:)

[iancal]

Big trouble if you sleep in the buff.

[HamOp]

Am I a moron because I dress up as much, if not more-so, on cruises as I do in "everyday life"?

 

First fast read thought you said you were a Mormon....oops

if we're ever on the same cruise you can recognize me by my footsie pajamas with the trap door on the butt. be sure to say hello!

Nah, but he is a happening kind of preacher, you know what I mean?;) Too hip to be square and all that. I'd love to be in the front pew. Or would I? Maybe not. I'm the type to hang out at the very last pew and hope you don't notice me.

[pipedreams62]

I never even knew people still wore pajamas? I haven't seen them since Fred Mertz wore them:eek:

 

 

[bonsat]

[mudscraper]

We saw many people at all different times dressed in robes in public places..this is Alaskan cruise, (not sure if others cruises on this line are different). I would never..but I also did not care what they had all , as long as they had something on!

[Copper10-8]

Robes!!!!!!!!!!!:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

 

 

[The door flies open and Cardinal Ximinez of Spain enters, flanked by two junior cardinals. Cardinal Biggles has goggles pushed over his forehead. Cardinal Fang is just Cardinal Fang

 

Ximinez: NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again.

[The Inquisition exits]

Chapman: I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition.

[The cardinals burst in]

Ximinez: NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as: fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope, and nice red uniforms - Oh darn!

[To Cardinal Biggles] I can't say it - you'll have to say it.

Biggles: What?

Ximinez: You'll have to say the bit about 'Our chief weapons are ...'

Biggles: [rather horrified]: I couldn't do that...

 

[Ximinez bundles the cardinals outside again]

Chapman: I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition.

[JARRING CHORD]

[The cardinals enter]

Biggles: Er.... Nobody...um....

Ximinez: Expects...

Biggles: Expects... Nobody expects the...um...the Spanish...um...

Ximinez: Inquisition.

Biggles: I know, I know! Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition. In fact, those who do expect -

Ximinez: Our chief weapons are...

Biggles: Our chief weapons are...um...er...

Ximinez: Surprise...

Biggles: Surprise and --

Ximinez: Okay, stop. Stop. Stop there - stop there. Stop. Phew! Ah! ... our chief weapons are surprise...blah blah blah. Cardinal, read the charges.

Fang: You are hereby charged that you did on diverse dates commit heresy against the Holy Church. 'My old man said follow the--'

Biggles: That's enough.

[To Cleveland] Now, how do you plead?

Clevelnd: We're innocent.

Ximinez: Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

 

[DIABOLICAL LAUGHTER]

Biggles: We'll soon change your mind about that!

[DIABOLICAL ACTING]

Ximinez: Fear, surprise, and a most ruthless-- [controls himself with a supreme effort] Ooooh! Now, Cardinal -- the rack!

 

[Copper10-8]

This is out of control! Next thing you'll know we'll see a pair of man boobs in the Lido on formal nights smoking a cigar while ordering five entrees:eek:

I've seen this several times, sans cigar. Nothing gets a gal going more than seeing a set of man boobs. :p

Please control yourself Ma'am!:cool:

It's nice to have goals but I better not go there!:eek:

Ah, but at St. Stephen's Church we're so hip we don't even have pews ... we have chairs! :D ;)

[dandro]

I never even knew people still wore pajamas? I haven't seen them since Fred Mertz wore them:eek:

 

Hey, I still wear pj's. They are so much more comfy than a nightgown. I even bought some pretty ones that I brought on our cruise.

 

(I am female)

[bonsat]

pajama party at the lido!

The cruise you were on was actually a charter of very famous doctors,who at many times wore robes

that's the crew at ncl.

[LHC]

I love to dress up and do for cruising, but after dinner, if I am going to go to a movie, or walk on the deck or even sit and read my book, I have changed my clothing for comfort.

This is my vacation so I consider that and dress, as I feel the need.

This said, if I am attending a special party, or gathering, I stay dressed, as any adult would do.

[suse]

This robe thing is funny though. Whatever. I just read that is the most annoying word in the English language so I wanted to say it again. I read somewhere on these boards about a woman who wandered the ship in her robe at night. I thought that was funny!:)
