Dress code changes for Regent?

[Host Dan]

Hi Graham,

Recently the Regent sister cruise line, Oceania, relaxed the dress code to allow dress jeans in the dining room. In your opinion, will Regent follow suit?

Thank you!

Sorry disagree, once you have jeans, then shorts, then singlets and flip flops. If you want "casual" dining then use other more relaxed dress code cruise lines.

I agree with the last post, any sort of jeans should be a definite no no for evening dining. Furthermore, I am firmly in favour of restaurant staff firmly implementing the dress code.

I think you misread my post. I'm asking a general question, certainly NOT hoping for a lax in dress code!

Dear Host Dan,

We are constantly evaluating this and all of our policies as well as receiving guest feedback. At this time, there are no plans to change our dress code onboard.

Kind regards

Graham

Dear Dan
Apologies for the delay in responding to your post and glad that it was just an enquiry!
However, with a tenuous link we have just received our itinery for the Buenos Aires to Rio in December and disappointed to see that we only have one formal night on a thirteen night at sea cruise. So does this indicate a gradual withdrawal of the formal nights, or is this Regents normal schedule?
Certainly we have always enjoyed the opportunity to dress up and we would be disappointed if the formal nights were replaced by smart casual. But then I guess we would look for another cruise line.
Having said that perhaps other guests on the cruise may be up for an additional dress night on a pure table only basis ?!
Many thanks
Brian

Formal nights are always optional with Regent and some people wear formal wear and others country casual. People are always nicely dress at dinner. If you want to dress more formally, you can. I enjoy dressing up so I always dress nicely. My husband always wears a jacket to Prime 7 or Signatures (sometimes with a tie) and we see lots of men wearing a sports jacket. He always wear long sleeve shirts to Compass Rose and sometimes a jacket. I have never seen jeans and hope will never see them either. Edited November 13, 2013 by forevertravel

Hi and thank you for the reply, much appreciated and yes we may, as we have previously with friends and fellow passengers dress up formally again for at least one night in the specialist restaurants. Anyway the DJ takes years of me, at least that's what I think!
Could start a new trend!!

I think that when the dress code on Regent was relaxed some years ago they started on a slippery slope! And I said so at the time. Problem is getting people to understand what is "smart casual" and what is not... to some, smart casual means not wearing dressing gowns (bathrobes to our American friends). To others it means not wearing DJs (dinner jackets).

I really think that a stricter dress code which is clearly stated is a good thing... if I don't want to get changed for dinner I can always call room service!!

Gerry, I remember when you said that! I now use the "slippery slope" term when discussing dress codes. Hope all is well!
