cvanhorn Posted September 28, 2008 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I know that Celebrity is more attentive to their dress codes, espceially formal nights, than some of the other lines. Do any of the retired military men on the cruise wear their Dress Uniform on formal nights? The Air Force semi-formal/formal uniform for enlisted airman at the time I retired was the Class A Blues with a white shirt and black bow tie. Have lost a lot of weight recently where I again can fit into it and uphold the Air Force dress standards. :) Before commiting to wearing it for the 3 formal nights of our upcoming Celebrity Mercury cruise I would like the Celebrity community to weigh in with what they have seen and how they feel about this. Thanks!! Cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

margeecruiser Posted September 28, 2008 #7 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Yes, please do wear your dress uniform. I have never seen it, but then I wasn't looking. If I see you, I will shake your hand, say thank you and offer to buy you a drink:D Really, our servicemen and women's dress uniform could not be more formal, IMHO.

Denny01 Posted September 29, 2008 #8 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I've been to a number of formal functions and military dress uniforms are worn by active and retired. I'd worn mine a few times after retirement, but I'll just say I've 'matured' a bit and would never fit it again. There have been Kilts worn, and dark suits worn a good deal also. Enjoy, Denny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfshadow Posted September 29, 2008 #9 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Please, do wear your dress blues. Maybe it will encourage other Officers to follow suit - no pun intended! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser Steph Posted September 29, 2008 #10 Share Posted September 29, 2008 My husband has worn his Army Dress Blues on the formal nights to all our cruises. He always feels very appropriately dressed. Wear yours...you've earned it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!! Cliff I have seen men dress in their military finery on every single cruise i have taken, and i think it looks really sharp. You should definitely wear your uniform.

bububr Posted September 30, 2008 #14 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Is one of the unlisted acceptable forms of attire as are Kilts, when worn with the formal acoutraments (sp.). Dave:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvanhorn Posted October 2, 2008 Author #15 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Thanks for all the supportive answers. I expected at least a few to disagree. As the cruise includes the Veterans Day week I will wear my uniform if I can just lose a couple more pounds! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
