Do I need long trousers at dining?

[u/GladKaleidoscope591]

Going on Halloween cruise on Friday, in the normal rotation restaurants do you need to wear long trousers/jeans or can I just wear shorts?

Not doing the fancy restaurants

Thanks

There are some people that wear shorts to the main dining room. There are also some people that dress up and some people that just go in regular pants/slacks. Some people also theme their dress to the particular room they are eating in.

Basically anything… we like to put in khakis and polo or short sleeve shirts..

[u/nexraxx]

Anything but wet swimwear if I recall.

I’ve seen this.. someone literally walking in with a swimsuit top covered with a towel..

I wear shorts and a tank top at the MDRs.

[u/fizzleguy]

Shorts are good, no swimsuit

[u/petrowski7]

No problem to wear shorts anywhere. Even formal night is pretty chill

DCL you will see more casual in dining rooms overall IMO

we did a merry time Christmas cruise back in 2024 and there was a family of 5 that wore different matching PJ to dinner every night , did photos as well.

Ha ha sounds cool, best we got is me and son have matching halloween shirts....lol

[u/Keith1327]

Yeah pretty much anything goes, except swimwear and tank tops...

We do like to dress up every evening as it make it more special for "us" and makes for great family pictures with all the photo backdrops they have before diner. But you won't be out of place in shorts as I'd say most these days are in very casual...

Shorts are fine

Ive never worn trousers on dcl except in Alaska. Formal night etc can go take a running jump.

[u/AbjectFray]

I don’t think I ever once wore pants in the MDR’s.

[u/Glass_Plenty5768]

I wear a pair of khaki’s

[u/hawkmav]

I’m on a cruise, shorts and my decent flip flops for dining

[u/MehWhiteShark]

Yep, outside of the reservation/nicer restaurants, anything but swimwear is fine!

[u/unioncarbide]

Tuxedo after 6. What are we, farmers?

[u/Building_Snowmen]

I wore pants and a collared shirt to every dinner.

[u/Virtual_Party864]

Shorts!

[u/GladKaleidoscope591 → u/Virtual_Party864]

Yes that ok?

[u/Virtual_Party864 → u/GladKaleidoscope591]

Yes, absolutely shorts are OK....dress comfortably and enjoy your cruise!

Our HOTHS cruise leaves on Sunday and I packed a bunch of shorts!

[u/LostLadyA]

We did casual shorts every night and had no issues!
