Discovery Princess dining dress code

[Cattiathecat]

I’d appreciate any advice on dining dress code for males on the Princess Discovery that will be sailing out of LA to Mexican Riviera early October? Will my husband be ok in a day suit? Thanks in advance.

I am not sure what a day suit is ?  Basically unless you are wearing shorts or gym attire you will be welcomed in the MDR

😀 Good Day.   I'm not trying to be funny but I have never heard the term Day Suit.. Sorry,  I live a sheltered life.   LOL

Mexico cruises are pretty simple.    Wear what you would if you were going out to a nice restuarant for dinner.   A jacket would be nice but now a days Princess seems to look the other way.   Just please no shorts at dinner  Lunch in the dining room is casual.

On the other hand if you love dressing up as we do skys the limit.

Have fun it's a vacation..

I forgot my jacket in June and no problem.

Even wearing shorts you may well get away with it. The dress code isn't strictly enforced on Princess 🙂

If I'm just going to the MDR very often I will just wear a pair of khakis and either a Polo style shirt or *maybe* a button down shirt.  If going to a specialty restaurant I will usually wear the same thing but add a sport jacket...but that is DEFINITELY not required...it's just my preference.  Many people will say "business casual"...

Oh...and welcome to Cruise Critic!

I just googled "day suit" and from what I see it looks like a suit & tie. It'll be fine, but just realize that formal dressing isn't really required any longer unless he really wants to. My husband just wears a pair of Dockers & Polo shirt of even a pair of decent black jeans.

I normally wear chinos, open-neck shirt and sometimes a jacket.

Thanks all. I should have said business suit instead of ‘day suit’ 🤣 great news that he can dress more informally as he prefers that.  Do they have a specific formal night at all. I seem to recall cruises used to have this. Thank you

My adult son wore shorts to the MDR several times on our Sky Princess cruise in July.  They were dressy shorts with a nice shirt and he looked great...no one batted an eye.

Yes, they do have designated formal night.  Although, they might designate one on your route as "dress to impress" or "white & gold".  Mexican Riviera and Caribbean sectors are going to trend to the more smart casual than night suits or even day suits.  Go with what is comfortable for you as you can dine all nights as smart casual if that is his preference.  Guests will have a range of attire, including suits and tuxes, but they are not required.

I don’t think anyone wants to see my hairy legs with scars from multiple surgeries

TMI.

Just off the Discovery on a cruise to Alaska out of Seattle. Pants and shirts required in MDR but Cowboy hats are acceptable. Wear what you want, there is no enforcement of any dress codes or suggested wear.

Most people sailing Princess have either scars or something similar. 

The days of people with legs of 24 year old's are long gone.

I wore a tie but no jacket on my two cruises on that ship with no problem. Khaki pants and brown dress shoes. There were guys there less formal and more formal than me.

Thanks for clarifying.  For a minute I thought you might have meant a Leisure Suit!  😀  (Actually, a leisure suite might be kind of cool.  hmmmm).

Rude?  Not at all. It was intended to bring a smile to those who remember the 70's leisure suits!

 My DH is a Brit and he knew immediately what the OP was referring to in her question.  I’ve learned an entirely different English language over the years!

Wear what you want that has a semblance to the evening's recommended dress.  You're going to be eating banquet food at a floating banquet hall.  Formal night dinners are not a state dinners were you'll be meeting heads of state or people with power; no need for such formality.

Why not females?  Do you already know the answer for Princess suggested dress code for females and not males?  Suspicious how these endless dress code forums keep popping up. The last one started last Friday and has 120 replies and is still going.  While I"m at it, does anyone know how many chairs you can hog on Princess Lido deck at a time and for how long? Just checking for my husband. Thanks for any help.
