SpringBreakMom Posted August 17, 2011 #1 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Just wondering what people wear? I don't recall seeing anyone mention a dress code for the evening (except closed toe shoes). It feels as if it deserves more than cruise casual. Thanks for the input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Mach* Posted August 17, 2011 #2 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Whatever is appropriate for the MDR is fine for the Chef's Table. Here's a picture of our group... pehaps this will help... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megmno Posted August 17, 2011 #3 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Are closed toe shoes a requirement or a suggestion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisefan6163 Posted August 17, 2011 #4 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I thought the closed toe shoes were for the "Behind the Fun" tour. I could be wrong but would like to know also as I'm scheduled to dine at the Chef Table on my cruise in September. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geckog Posted August 17, 2011 #5 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Closed toe shoes are necessary. You are touring the galley and that can be a very dangerous area for toes! :) Our chef's table ranged from a couple of people in shorts to one guy in a jacket (and he kept giving his wife "the look" for making him wear it). Most were dressed in the usual MDR garb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsparties Posted August 17, 2011 #6 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Yikes, I wasn't going to even bring any closed toe shoes. Good excuse to go shoe shopping *again*:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyscanr Posted August 17, 2011 #8 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Well they asked for closed toe shoes , but this past week on the splendor they just asked the ladys to be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llachance Posted August 17, 2011 #9 Share Posted August 17, 2011 done the Chef's table twice and have not worn closed toe shoes either time. The floor can be a little slick in the kitchen so you should wear shoes that have a bit of scuff on the bottom so you won't slip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWCHIEF Posted August 17, 2011 #10 Share Posted August 17, 2011 We had one gentleman that wore a coat and tie. As soon as he noticed what the other men were all wearing he took them off and hand carried them the rest of the evening. Everyone dressed very nice and appropriate in my opinion. We were told to wear comfortable clothes with closed toed shoes. Everyone complied with the request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froufie Posted August 17, 2011 #11 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Given my 'luggage meltdown' issues there is no way I was packing an extra pair of shoes that I would only wear for one night (who wants to wear closed toe shoes in the caribbean??)..... and it was not a problem - in fact I think many of the women wore sandals/open toed shoes - just be careful in the galley (I think high skinny heels would be more of an issue than the open toes!)

firstcruiserDB Posted August 17, 2011 #12 Share Posted August 17, 2011 We did our first chef's table last month. It was absolutely FABULOUS! They did request closed toe shoes, but many of us didn't know that ahead of time. Sandles were fine, and no one said a word about them. We wore the same type of clothing that we would wear in the main dining room. I would...and will, do this again! We loved it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B and C Blake Posted August 17, 2011 #13 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Yikes, I wasn't going to even bring any closed toe shoes. Good excuse to go shoe shopping *again*:D I bought a pair of Dr Scholl's for Her Fast Flats http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/dr.-scholl's-for-her-fast-flats-foldable-black-flats-with-stylish-wristlet/ID=prod6030666-product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireofficer5 Posted August 17, 2011 #14 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Just like the mdr, tshirts and jorts. Its your vacation and you can do what ever you want. But for myself, a sport coat and tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gawn Posted August 17, 2011 #15 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I did not have to wear closed toed shoes on the Freedom. When the chef came to our table in the MDR the night before to, he even mentioned that is not necessary. Just to keep in mind that it is a working galley and to be careful.

capndinghy Posted August 17, 2011 #16 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Thanks for posting this question. I was going to wear a Sport Coat and Tie but will now wear a nice shirt. (Hmmm, I wonder if I could get by wearing my favorite wife beater T-Shirt and Grubby Shorts?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jill.michelle77 Posted August 17, 2011 #17 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Closed toed shoes and no heels are a SUGGESTION. There were several ladies in our group with open toed shoes and it was never even mentioned. We dressed a little nicer than we would for the MDR (which we normally wear khakis and nice shirt for) but definitely not "formal". I was a little put off by the one guy in our group that showed up in what looked to me like swim trunks. I'm not a snob....I just thought that was a little disrespectful to the Chef.

KCCruisin' Posted August 17, 2011 #19 Share Posted August 17, 2011 We did the Chef's Table on our cruise 7/28/11 onboard the Ecstasy. If you dress just like you were going into the dining room for dinner, you should be fine. The closed toed shoes are a safety precaution, for your benefit, because you will be traveling through the Galley and there are wet areas. However, they don't send you back to your room if you aren't in compliance :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
