@debmele48 13 дней назад

I feel people in the US tend to dress down on a regular basis and so on holiday as well when cruising. I didn't grow up in the US and I enjoy dressing up for an evening out and to dinner on the cruise. I really don't have a problem with what others choose to wear BUT if you don't care to dress up, especially on elegant night...then don't eat in the main dining room. I do have a problem when the cruise line put in rules and then doesn't enforce them. If most people are dressed up and someone shows up in a tank top and shorts...it really kills the ambiance.😮😊

@LifeWellCruised 13 дней назад

I see what you mean but I do think on most ships (not all) the dress codes are a suggestion 😂

@kathleenardrey5094 12 дней назад

It's the cowardly crews that offend me: not enforcing some dress code, not telling smokers to leave areas of the casino, not keeping tiny cabin corridors clear of any wheelchairs/rollers/strollers/, not enforcing smoking on balconies, the list goes on and on. AND they demand tips. Baloney to those slackers on the crew.

@GrnXnham 8 дней назад

@@kathleenardrey5094 It's not the crew that are the slackers. This comes from the top. The crew are told which rules to enforce and which ones to ignore by the company that they work for. Most cruise lines are afraid of angering guests, so many rules get ignored.

@kathleenardrey5094 8 дней назад

@@GrnXnham Thank you. I agree; if the dining room captain ignores a policy, no crew member would ever go against the boss. Same practices in most other working situations; it's not the crew-it's the chief! And yes-most managers are afraid to anger any guests, even at the discomfort for others. peace

@mlew251 6 дней назад

Keep in mind the majority of cruisers no longer want a formal night, my self included. I retired from the corporate world and wore suits and sport coats most of my career. Not all of us that don't care for a formal night are walking around in our pajamas in Walmart. I like Celebrities evening dinner policies that sets a minimum bar but doesn't limit a ceiling either. You have no right to ask other cruises to go to the buffet just because you enjoy a formal evening while most vacationers today choose not to. I think the cruise line should dedicate a separate, small event only for those that want the "prom" experience so that the rest of us don't "kill the ambiance" for you as mentioned above.

In the past my husband was turned away from the MDR at lunch because he had a hat on, and we had come from an outdoor deck. But on my last couple of cruises, I was shocked to see multiple men with hats on at dinner in the MDR. I really don't like it, call me old fashioned, but I think dinner should at least have long slacks and a shirt with buttons for men and nice slacks or a dress for women. And never PJ's, this isn't Wal-Mart.

@linettej928. 13 дней назад

When it comes to crocs, they are an essential to my husband. He has size 16 feet, extra wide, plus he has chronic foot pain. He cannot walk or even stand barefoot without pain. When it comes to needing waterproof shoes, this has been the only option he can find. He even has a pair specially for the shower. It is very difficult (and expensive) to find size 16 shoes in Canada. Even his former go-to (Birkenstock) has stopped selling his size in Canada. We were fortunate enough to find several pairs of Crocs in his size, and they last for many years. He has some dressier shoes and some runners that he can wear with orthotics but his Crocs are the most comfortable. It’s very annoying that some people choose to be offended by them.

@Shan_Dalamani 13 дней назад

He definitely has my support to wear them. I love my crocs. My feet aren't large, but due to various medical issues, I find laced/strapped shoes really difficult. So crocs that can just be slipped on are so appreciated. Judgmental people are the ones with the problem, if they want to waste lifespan and vacation $$$$ being offended by what a stranger wears on their feet. Kinda like the time I wore a shirt and jeans to a Shakespeare play. A woman nearby was dolled up in a gown and openly sneered at me. I figured if she would rather waste energy being offended at what I was wearing instead of enjoying the play, that was her problem.

@elisaastorino2881 13 дней назад

My three granddaughters (now 7, 12, 13) have always worn comfy bike shorts under any skirted outfits. They have done this since they were tikes.

A couple things. I grew up as a competitive swimmer so Speedos don't bother me unless the man has a giant beer belly. Thong swimsuits on women, it depends. I personally don't like them and wouldn't wear them but if someone feels comfortable in it, go for it. I don't like any bed time clothing being worn in public, robes or pajamas, I think it's lazy. I'm also not a fan of leggins on older or heavier women but, like thongs, it's their choice. My moto is: when someone's opinion can pay my bills, I will care what they think of me and my choices. I try not to judge others because the saying goes both ways.

Dinner reservations in a speciality dinning room and an older teenage girl and her mom showed up in shorts. They also had reservations, but were denied seating until they amended their dress. Everyone waiting was thankful that the rules were not broken. They were not happy but returned dressed appropriately.

I was going on a cruise to Hawaii and was determined to bring along my full-length caftan. I often wear it around the house when visiting people, so it seems like loungewear, but the first time I wore it was as evening wear on my first visit to Hawaii many years ago. I only wore it during the day on the ship. On a couple of evenings I wore the full-length muumuu I made for dressy occasions when I lived in Hawaii. At first I was a little uneasy as a solo cruiser venturing out on the ship in my two Hawaii outfits, but sometimes you just have to tell yourself, “I’m comfortable with my choices.” And, hey, I made both of those outfits more than 40 years ago and can still wear them!

On HAL I feel okay dressed casually all the time. I seldom go to the MDR except for brunches and afternoon tea. On Princess, people seemed to be dressier and I felt out of place. I prefer a casual ship with no formal or gala nights but the only one I can think of is NCL. Cruising for me is just a way to get to see the world. I don’t care much about the dining venues. What people wear is their own business but I do agree that you should not wear a bathrobe to the restaurant. 😅. You don’t do it when you’re back home so why do it on a cruise? Crocs? I do wear Crocs when I’m going to the pool or spa. It’s comfortable and I see no problem with people wearing it around the ship and in the buffet.

When I see who's wearing thongs and bikinis, I'm reminded of my days working in a high end department store: every time we got new stock of something revealing or tight, my one coworker always said, "the wrong person will buy this," and she was absolutely right. I've never seen a guy in a speedo who had the body for it. For that matter, I've rarely seen bikinis on women who have the figure for it.

We just went on a Holland America Cruise recently to Alaska and I was pretty surprised what people wore. Pjs in the buffet which I found odd. Wearing the robe in the buffet. For some reason I thought this cruise line was going to be a little more fancy.

Other people were as well but I was upset with my hubby about it.

I was on a Marella cruise in the Canary islands last December. The restauraunt had a smart but casual dress code. Most people adhered to it. Unfortunately, some of our fellow cruisers thought wearing football (soccer) tops from their favourite teams was ok. They were never challenged. I think if you have a dress code. It should be enforced. It's unfair on the cruisers who do adhere to the rules not to.

Boy has cruising changed! I took my first cruise in 1968 from NY to Nassau (7 days on Oceanic) and people were very dressed up. The dining room had assigned tables only and women wore cocktail dresses and fur stoles. Men wore tuxedos or evening jackets. Everyone looked so elegant. I took my second cruise five months ago (7 days on Anthem of the Seas) and was shocked to see how casual it is. People were wearing shorts and flip flops in the dining room! It's comfortable to be casual during the day but it's nice to dress up in the evenings...I miss that!

I think in life there are just some basic commin courtesies to be had. Yes youve paid to go on a cruise, but a cruise is not your personal space or home. There is nothing wrong with formal wear if you wish to dress up, crocks are comfortable for people, thongs.. I get it, its a style and we should have body positivity. Just tey to be kind and respectful to the fact that you're not the only person in this cruise and respect the rules the cruise line has in place.

Good video. We were on a NCL cruise and 2 of our guests were wearing cut off short jeans. I was wearing khakis and a collard polo. As the two who were wearing the cut off shorts they were denied entry into the main dinning room. Once they changed into long pants and a nice polo shirt they were allowed to dine. I was surprised that NCL with open dining had this restriction. I was OK with it.

Wearing something with a pineapple on it won't make you a swinger or have someone approach you. Not many people know this but Flamingos means the samething just depends on the region your in.

As an East coast southerner, I hate that the pineapple symbol has been ruined on cruises. It historically meant welcome and hospitality in South Carolina and Georgia. It was related to sailors returning from the sea bearing gifts of their travels. You see it in the architecture and decor of southern coastal cities. It certainly wasn’t related to alternative lifestyles.
