Final word from RCCL on Jeans-in-Dining-Room policy

[terri23]

LOL, well done, LeeAnne!

[Leejnd4]

Um...garsh...I didn't mean to end the debate...where is everyone??

I thought we all agreed that is the answer, thus, end of debate. :)

[Leejnd4]

Gene doesn't think so.

[Jonahsafta]

what incredible snobbery.....the classiest people Ive met have been those who made everyone feel welcomed and special....and surprisingly enough..having or not having money had litle to do with it.

[Leejnd4]

There we go! Phew...I thought it was all over. Gene is relieved.

Gene’s Jeans

 

A cruiser named Gene went a –cruising

He thought he’d be eatin’ and schmoozin’

He walked in with his jeans

To a chorus of screams

So much for Gene’s dreams of cruise boozin’!

 

His tablemates were all mortified.

“To the dress code we all must abide!

No jeans are allowed

Among this high class crowd

After all, we do have our pride!”

 

“How dare you destroy our dinner

By wearing denim, you sinner?

Such a horrible thing,

And what’s worse, with no bling!

This dining room’s only for winners!”

 

They said, “Where is your tux, you ninny?”

After giving his jeans some more scrutiny,

The captain was called.

He ran over, appalled

And cried, “What is this, a mutiny?”

 

“To the brig!” he shouted out loud

To the whistles and cheers of the crowd.

Poor Gene was then jailed

As the cruise liner sailed.

“That’ll teach him!” the crowd vowed.

 

The story of Gene’s Jeans is still told

To all cruisers, both new and old

While the dress code’s “suggested”

You’d better be dressed…ded

To the nines, or you’ll end up in the hold!

 

LeeAnne

 

Gene's Jeans did get him in trouble,

He was ushered out on the double,

But his friends from CC,

Did love him in deed,

And brought him smuggled wine with a bubble!

[Leejnd4]

"The brig is just not a fun place,"

Gene said, with a smile on his face,

"Unless your sipping wine

That is really quite fine.

Then it's actually a pretty nice space!"

 

Gene's Cruise Critic friends made a pact

To spring Gene from his prison intact.

A jacket they brought him

A tie and vest they then sought him.

"He'll wear it," they said. "It's off the rack."

 

So rather than let bad feelings fester

Gene went back to dinner (with Sylvester)

He said, "Look at me!

I'm dressed to a T,

In a tux made of purple polyester!

Catholic School! Many hands are still deformed!

[shirleygr]

ROFLMAO :D:D:D:D

I feel I should answer in rhyme,

Well maybe some other time;

Now I'm off to relate,

Something new to debate;

To conclude, this thread is truly a crime.

;) Best I could do, it's been a long day.

[mbisson]

The informality in dress and the lack of civility in our manners only proves that American society is indeed doomed. And this doom started the day that swim wear actually allowed for the naked leg to be seen ;) . That abomination is what has led to nudity and perversion in movies, books and magazines, and the total lack of respect that the modern generations have for authority.

 

There, that should show my position on dining room dress. NOT! But it does seem to represent what some think

 

LOL

 

-Monte

[Leejnd4]

Nekked legs??? Where?

[mbisson]

Nekked legs??? Where?

 

Any pool or beach! It's really quite shocking! LOL

 

-Monte

[iluvcruzin]

Not that anyone would read this far into the thread....

 

HOWEVER - the OP is correct!

 

I couldn't believe what I saw in the dinning room last week. From talking to the Matre'D, the only thing they are to turn away are people in swimwear and shorts. HOWEVER.. I saw people wear shorts in the dining room on a few nights. So.. It must be anything goes but swimwear.:(

The final word on what you should look like on formal night...................

The final word on what you should look like on formal night...................

 

Too cute! My service cat will be wearing that exact outfit on our cruise next month.

[hstrybuf]

The final word on what you should look like on formal night...................

 

Hey! Your cat stole my tiara!!! :D

[Merion_Mom]

Notice the rakish tilt of the tiara, the insouciant look in the eye.......now, THAT'S class!

[Cruising89143]

The final word on what you should look like on formal night...................

 

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cuizer2]

The final word on what you should look like on formal night...................

 

You mean the woman have to wear a fur coat???

[Leejnd4]

No -- but they do have to have long facial hair.

[Sheffie]

and, I think, unshaven legs!!!!!:eek: :eek: :eek:

 

But,"rakish tilt of the tiara, the insouciant look in the eye"....... they MORE than make up for the abundance of body hair. :)

 

Please notice the perfect balance of the multiple strands of pearls surrounding her lovely neck.

A Cautionary Tale

 

I went in search of information

To use for planning my vacation

On the cruise critic board

Found discussion of cloth

15 pages, to my consternation

 

But it's really the fashion design board

The concern about fabric is clear

Who else but the fashion designers

Worry so about what others wear

 

For whom else would clothing be such an obsession?

Yes, this looks like the right place to post my confession.

Since LeeAnne told you all about Gene

I may as well come clean

 

We are seated at our tables

Wearing great designer labels

All appear to pass inspection

Gene's blue jeans avoid detection

 

But so little did we know

Of what dangers lurked below

 

My spoon got knocked down to the floor

I peered under the table,

and then searched some more

When what to my wandering eyes should appear

But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer.

 

(Whoops, wrong poem. Sorry, Let me try again.)

 

In dismay, denim I behold

That's why this tale must be told

 

Such inappropriate attire must cease

I hastily summon the fashion police

Trembling, my composure shattered

Removing Gene was all that mattered.

 

How dare he inflict denim jeans upon others

Be they strangers or friends,

be they sisters or brothers.

Pushing aside my steak and beans

I summon the strength to loudly cry: JEANS!

 

A stunning silence envelopes the room

Gene is now resigned to his doom

Realizing his cardinal sin

He quickly drowns his shame in gin

Once Gene's new jeans have been revealed

The verdict cannot be appealed.

 

'Twas a shock for us all to endure such a sight

and it wasn't even a formal night

Our dinner was ruined

The ambiance spoiled

Our plans for a wonderful cruise had been foiled.

 

What a horror for all

What nightmares will loom

When someone wears jeans

In the ship's dining room!

 

So here's the moral of this fable

Keep your eyes above the table
