triptolemus Posted October 12, 2014 #2 Share Posted October 12, 2014 You're overthinking this, I can tell. Have you read the "what to pack" page on NCL.com? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinIllinois Posted October 12, 2014 #3 Share Posted October 12, 2014 From NCL FAQ's: What Should I Pack? When it comes to what to wear, you can go resort casual or get decked-out and look your best - it’s your call. That’s the freedom of Freestyle Cruising. We even have special “Dress-Up or Not Night.” It’s the perfect opportunity to get your portrait taken with your family, that special someone or even with the ship’s Captain. Dress cruise casual anytime during the day, in the buffet and in most specialty restaurants. For women, it includes summer and casual dresses, skirts, regular or capri pants, shorts, jeans and tops. Khakis, jeans, shorts and casual shirts are fine for men. Swimwear is acceptable at the buffet and outdoor restaurant, but a shirt or a cover-up and footwear are required. Cruise casual is also allowed day and night on embarkation day. Wear smart casual if you are eating dinner in the aft main dining room (our more formal dining room) and in Le Bistro on cruises longer than five days. For women, it includes slacks or jeans, dresses, skirts and tops. For men, it’s jeans or slacks with a collared shirt and closed-toed shoes. Traditional Bermuda shorts along with long socks, loafers and a blazer are all acceptable on a Bermuda cruise. We want you to be comfortable, but tank tops for men, flip flops, baseball caps, visors and jeans that are overly faded, with holes or tears and worn below the hips are not permitted in main dining rooms or specialty restaurants. Kids 12 and under are welcome to wear nice shorts in all our restaurants. You may want to pack a sweater too—air conditioning can be chilly. Since your suitcases are collected the night before we return home, don’t forget an overnight bag for prescriptions and need-to-have items.

cb at sea Posted October 12, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Day is CASUAL...shorts/ tees/ swimwear. At night, maybe a pair of slacks and golf/polo shirt...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tggrtoes Posted October 12, 2014 #5 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Just off Getaway yesterday (boo hoo) - DH wore shorts/t-shirt during day. Pants and polo for dinners. We "dressed up" two nights and he wore a long sleeve dress shirt (no tie) but that is in NO WAY required. I think DH was more in the minority with that dress, although there were certainly some in full suits. Seriously, wear whatever you are comfortable wearing. If you want to wear shorts - do! Just stick to restaurants which allow them (most do). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycarla Posted October 12, 2014 #6 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I wear pretty much docker type slacks, and casual button down shirts. Polo shirts are fine as well. Even for fancy dinner. Have not taken a jacket since the Queen Mary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
