reallyitsmema Posted February 4, 2017 #26 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Read your cruise compass to find out the suggested dress. Many time it will specifically say no shorts in the MDR for dinner. There are sometimes signs outside the MDR saying no shorts, but many ignore the signs and are not turned away. People are dressing much more casual than they have in years past. Even formal night isn't close to formal. Some think a sundress is formal or khakis and a Hawaiian shirt. Just be prepared to be turned away if they decide to enforce the suggested attire for the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaiderDuck Posted February 4, 2017 #27 Share Posted February 4, 2017 What bother's me (and not a lot does) are "hat's" of any kind on men worn at the table regardless if it's a formal or casual morning, afternoon or night.:eek: If you're talking about baseball hats, I agree with you. But fashion hats like fedoras or trilbys are part of the outfit. Asking someone to remove them is akin to asking that person to remove their shoes.

troykahack Posted February 4, 2017 #28 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Dress codes dress codes. It more or less depends on the enforcer. Not the MDR, but a more strict dress code applies to the SL on Allure on Formal Nights. It names dress that is prohibited. But you see all kinds of wear prohibited. Pictures from Formal Night in SL.

Ocean Dancer Posted February 4, 2017 #29 Share Posted February 4, 2017 For some reason, and maybe because of the heat in summer in Galveston and Caribbean, we see more shorts in MDR. There is a written rule that suggests you wear long pants, but I think it is up to the discretion of the restaurant manager at the time. If you dress nice, and don't look like Sasquatch with shorts and a "wife beater" on, you will probably not run into any problem. On the other hand...., they have a rule they can use if needed Sent from my iPhone using Forums No excuse, the ship has A/C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troykahack Posted February 4, 2017 #40 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I tried to avoid faces. I had sent these to a friend. These items were PROHIBITED if you read the letter from Concierge. The MDR is suggested or recommended or requested. A bit different than Prohibited. However, this prohibited wear was out in force both Formal Nights.

I agree. It's one thing to discuss issues on CC and something entirely different to start documenting with photos. What's next, videos showing other passengers who have had a few too many drinks and are having problems with their balance? It's a slippery slope.

KansasK Posted February 4, 2017 #48 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I agree 100% with this...RCI is quickly becoming very casual...much to the disappointment of some on these boards. I personally think the ones in "old" tuxedo's and "old" out dated prom dresses or mother of the bride dresses are much more out of fashion than those in nice casual attire. JMHO After cruising since the early 1960's (20+) with RCI...like it or not people...times are changing. Basically, it sounds like you think anyone who dresses formally is "outdated". This is as bad as those who judge the super casual dressers harshly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ONECRUISER Posted February 5, 2017 #50 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Formal night on Serenade have witnessed people turned away for wearing shorts as resent as 2 month's ago. What I found worse men removing Flip Flops putting feet on chairs in lounges and on railing in the movie theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
