formal night @chops on NOS

[jujucruisegirl]

Has anyone eaten at Chops on NOS for formal night?

If so, do you have to wear formal attire?

I read on RCCL website that formal attire is appropriate in the specialty

restaurants on formal night. Hubby and I were planning on NOT

dressing formal for our upcoming 5 night cruise. We love Chops and

plan to eat there one night.

Specialty restaurants are "smart casual" EVERY night...even on "formal" nights. If you want to go formal...that's fine, too!

On the Allure last week we ate at Chops on formal night. No-one had formal wear on. Slacks and a shirt were the norm for men.

Yes I have and we did not wear formal attire. This is exactly why we always book specialty restaurants with RCCL. I do suggest nice attire a shirt/tie is common for the guys and for ladies a dress or slacks with sparkly top

 

Enjoy,

We ate in Chops on Mariner on the first FN. We dressed up, and so did others. Others did not. One girl had on jeans with a lot of pocket bling (not judging, just telling you what I observed). Seems anything goes.

Thanks for the feedback. We always dress resort casual when dining at Chops and I am all about the sparkly tops. Hopefully this will help

reduce the luggage count. NOT!!!!!:)

From the RCI website - jackets even on regular nights:

 

Dress Suggestion

We suggest smart casual attire in Portofino - jackets for men, dresses or pantsuits for women. On formal evenings, formal attire is also appropriate in the restaurant. This includes suits and ties or tuxedos for men and cocktail dresses for women

Despite what it says on the website, once you are onboard you will see written in the Compass that every night is smart casual in the specialty restaurants. We did not dress formally on either of the formal nights on our cruise this year- we specifically booked a specialty restaurant for both nights.

Thanks for the thumbs up to "no formal wear required in Chops"

Looking forward to a relaxing "smart casual kinda' cruise.
