dining room attire for teens

[jchristie]

this may be somewhere else on this board so if so please point me to the thread.... I don't want to repeat if already answered.

 

my question is this: What is acceptable attire for teens on board for main dining rooms? I know about formal night - but could my boys where nice jeans to dinner or does it need to be kakis? do the shirts have to be collared?

we just got off a cruise and the teens and young men in my family were just fine in jeans and non graphic t shirts. there even was a family that sat near us that wore t shirts and jeans to dinner on elegant night. I did have my boys were button collared shirts that night, I told them it wouldnt kill em to dress nice one night

From the Carnival FAQs:

Most evenings we have a Cruise Casual dress code, but there are those Cruise Elegant evenings one or two nights throughout your “Fun Ship” voyage, where you will have the opportunity to showcase your more elegant attire. For those who want casual attire for dinner time, the Lido Restaurant is open nightly, and has a more relaxed theme. However, shirts and shoes/footwear (flip-flops) must be worn at all times inside the Lido Restaurant.

 

Both dress codes for the dining rooms are described below.

Cruise Casual Dining Dress Code: Gentlemen - Sport slacks, khakis, jeans (no cut-offs), dress shorts (long), collared sport shirts; Ladies - Casual dresses, casual skirts or pants and blouses, summer dresses, Capri pants, dress shorts, jeans (no cut-offs).

 

Not permitted in the dining room during the Cruise Casual dinner for ladies and gentlemen: shorts, gym shorts, basketball shorts, beach flip-flops, bathing suit attire, cut-off jeans, sleeveless shirts for men and baseball hats.

Cruise Elegant Dining Dress Code: Gentlemen - Dress slacks, dress shirts. We also suggest a sport coat. If you wish to wear suits and ties or tuxedos, by all means we invite you to do so. Ladies - Cocktail dresses, pantsuits, elegant skirts and blouses; if you‘d like to show off your evening gowns, that's great too!
