My wife can wear open-toed sandals to the dining room and specialty restaurants, but if the rules are being tightly enforced I can't. I have very nice leather sandals that are not inexpensive by any means that are prohibited, but my wife can wear pretty much any old sandals she puts on. Who claims the sexes are equal? 😂 Short skirts on Oceania? 😂 when the average age on most cruises is well into the seventies, you’re not going to find many short skirts!!! Younger Mothers with young kids might still wear short skirts, you can count both on the majority of O cruises with one hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen rules on what is on men's feet, or ladies for that matter either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in the dress code statement in Currents...but I was incorrect when I said it applied only to men. Taken literally it applies to everyone, but I've never seen it enforced for a woman. I actually think the intent was to prohibit flip flops, but it may have been written by someone whose command of the nuances of American English may not have been very strong.

There are many wearing shorts in the evening, especially in the Caribbean. Non casual jeans are very much allowed in the GDR at night. As usual some try to re write the dress code to reflect what they’d like it to be, not what it is. Yes. I’ve been on the Riviera many times. nice jeans are allowed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riandei Posted December 3, 2019 #39 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Thanks for this posting...i was looking for the exact info. We sail in February to the Caribbean and hope to be on the terrace for dinner. One of our group asked about nice shorts for dinner on the terrace. I can happily relay the message.

Gosh no...we will certainly be dressed for specialties. But given the option of the main dining room or terrace we will opt for the terrace. An opportunity to dine outside in February is a gift.

Hoyaheel Posted December 3, 2019 #44 Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) My in-laws do not dine in the GDR. We pretty much only dine in a main dining room. So on our upcoming 14 day Riviera cruise with them, we are only sharing dinners in the specialty restaurants. Different strokes for different folks. We like a leisurely meal served to us. They often like to get in and get out....They're happy with the food & service in the Terrace and that's all that matters. To them. But now I'M worried about the dining room on Riviera. Ah well, guess I'll find out for myself if I like it or not.... Edited December 3, 2019 by Hoyaheel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The menus have changes YES Check the menus at the preisman blog probably closer to what you get than the sample menu online https://www.thepreismans.com/marina19_menus.htm#Grand Not everyone has the same tastes you may like the GDR meals or maybe not I can find something to eat at each meal I did not go hungry 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptiprof Posted December 3, 2019 #49 Share Posted December 3, 2019 On Oceania's website: "We request that casual jeans, shorts, t-shirts, baseball caps, or tennis shoes not be worn in the restaurants after 6 PM. Baseball caps may be worn in the Terrace Café after 6 PM." If all jeans were forbidden, they would simply have said, "jeans," and dressy jeans are often part of an elegant ensemble. On our recent Oceania cruise, jeans and shorts were common in the Terrace Cafe. In the GDR, a young lady was wearing stylish, well-cut dark jeans with a fashion-forward silk blouse and heels. In my opinion, she was far better dressed than those in cotton capris and sleeveless cotton tops. All of these choices are allowed under the dress code provisions. I will dress according to the Oceania policy--not the personal sensibilities of others. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
