Awesome thanks so much...we just love jeans when we relax, and we weren't sure!!

 

Don`t listen to Mr. T:( it does say it in the new literature. Go to the formal short thread and you will see.

 

NO JEANS IN THE DINING ROOMS EXCEPT SAILING OUT OF TEXAS:)

 

You can wear jeans anywhere else;)

HELP...can we wear jeans??? It's our first cruise and it's our honeymoon??HELP!!:confused:

 

 

Don't fall for NCL's "Come As You Are" slogan . It has a lot of holes in it. It's "Come As You Are" as long as you are not dressed in a bathing suite, PJ's, jeans, T-shirts, flip flops, underware, thongs, shorts, just a hat, or your birthday suite. ;)

I returned from the Dream trans-atlantic cruise yesterday. I followed the advice of those who posted about dress codes here and, on the first formal night there may have ben as many as a dozen of us who were not wearing at least a dark suit (several tuxs). Fortunately I did bring a suit "just in case" for the other formal nights. :o

It may say no jeans in the dining room' date=' BUT, a good third of men and women (and teens) have them on. It is free style. We dress CASUAL ALL the time.[/quote']

A good third? That's definitely a much higher number than what I've seen on my last 3 Freestyle cruises (all within the last year and a half). Yes, there will be some people wearing jeans, but it's nowhere near a third.

 

Part of the problem with the supposed policy is that it's somewhat inconsistent. The online policy says "no jeans" but on some ships, the posted signage says "no torn jeans". Add to that the Houston exemption and it gets confusing. My advice? Leave the jeans at home and you won't have any problem interpreting the policy.

UGH!! SO many answers, so many different people...I guess we will just opt for no jeans???

 

Don't cha just hate that! :rolleyes:

 

Take a pair of nice jeans. Then when you get on the ship you can find out for yourself if it's OK to wear them or not. ;)

jeans for breakfast, jeans for lunch, jeans in the buffet anytime...fine and dandy. blue jeans for dinner in any of the main dining rooms...no. DH did wear black denim with a very nice shirt for dinner twice and no one said a word. if you are talking about BLUE jeans, i would say to wear them during the day, then change into something else for dinner. every night we ate at the main dining, most (and i do mean MOST, over 60%) were dress up. i saw more long dresses and black jackets then i have seen in years. i cold not believe how many women with wearing very high, spiked heels when the ship was rocking so much.

As long as they are not "BLUE DENIM" spiked heels they is OK! :D

No "BLUE DENIM" thongs either, someone might faint if they should happen to ride up above your dressy pants and become visable....that's a no no! ;)

I am sure you are right.....just trying to cover all the bases here! ;)

 

LOL I figured as much! The funny thing is that I have blue denim thongs (shoes), but we have not called them thongs in a good 15 yrs. I had to think for a minute...:o

So they actually make real "blue denim flip flop thongs"? Cool! I have to get me a pair of those for sure. :D

But a thong doesn't cover anything!

Well that's true of course.....in fact I was just wondering myself what purpose these silly things serve. It must be something I am totally missing... and for this I am grateful. :o

Every cruise line we've sailed on specifically states in their brochures "no jeans or shorts in the dining rooms after 6:00 p.m" so, that means no jeans at dinner. You can always change into them after dinner.:D
