Cruises under the microscope: Conflicts over dress codes in restaurants!
The discussion about the dress code on cruise ships has become more important in recent days. Many passengers express their dissatisfaction with the clothing choices of other guests, especially in the ships' restaurants. Again and again you come across outfits that don't meet the expectations of a glamorous trip. Swimwear, flip-flops and unkempt clothing are unacceptable for many travelers. One user reports that the clothes you see on board in a restaurant are often not what you expect. This opens up a broader dialogue about style and appropriate behavior when dining on ships.
Some users support this criticism and share similar experiences from their own cruises. Comments about the loss of dining culture, style and table manners are numerous. Others, however, argue that it is a matter of taste and defend the different styles of clothing. This disagreement reflects differing views on what is appropriate clothing on a cruise and how important the dress code is to many travelers.
Dress codes on cruises
Before a cruise, many people ask themselves what clothes they should pack. Loud Dreamlines Dress codes offer guidance, but they are interpreted differently. Casual clothing is usually permitted during the day, while a more formal appearance is expected in the evening. From 6 p.m. the dress code is often “casual-elegant”. During these times, swimwear is not permitted in restaurants. Long pants for men are also often required.
Sporty, casual and formal attire is recommended on luxury cruises. Gala evenings and special occasions require elegant evening wear. The different categories of dress codes can be divided as follows:
| category | Description |
|---|---|
| Casual | Everyday clothing, no sweatpants or very short skirts. |
| Sporty casual | More upscale casual wear, shirts and long pants for men. |
| Casual-elegant | Elegant wardrobe, summer suits and cocktail dresses. |
| Formally | Elegant clothing, suits for men, evening dresses for women. |
Dress code control by crew varies, but guidance is often provided to ensure compliance. It is advisable to find out about the dress code guidelines of the respective shipping companies in advance of the trip, as they are not uniform and may have different requirements. The discussion about appropriate clothing on board therefore remains a relevant topic for cruise enthusiasts and shows the different facets of the cruise experience.
