Fully covered shoes in the windjammer

[Wnbfrog]

My husband just read that you need to have fully covered shoes to go to the windjammer is this true?  We don't normally wear other shoes than sandles and flip flops. 

 

Thanks!

I'd love to know where your husband read that! I don't think I've ever been in the Windjammer other than embarkation day with fully covered shoes. Could it be that this was in documentation about a behind the scenes tour? They are sticklers for it when you tour the galleys.

I think the only thing that has to be fully covered in the Windjammer is your swim suit!

And last cruise I was on, I saw a woman in the Windjammer in her bikini carrying her coverup. I didn’t notice her shoes

Interesting. I’m not sure I’ve ever noticed fully covered shoes before. A ton of people are coming from the pool, no one wears covered shoes. Either it’s new or has always been there but not enforced and is there for legal purposes.

I'm less worried about seeing someone in sandals than I am about seeing someone in "Nope, I don't own a mirror" skimpy pajamas. The only cruise that we have been on was another cruise line(Carni---) and there was a verrry large and confident woman rocking her extra small Winnie the pooh shorts and crop top jammies walking through the buffet.

I've worn flip flops and water shoes in there plenty of times

[Wnbfrog]

Thanks everyone. I didn't think it would have been an issue but he is a stickler for the rules. Me not so much.

I can assure you that out of 9 cruises so far the only time that I have worn closed toed shoes are on two occasions, formal night, as well as when we went to Alaska!  All other nights as well as cruises we both wear flip flops!  Even if that is the suggested wear I highly doubt that you will find anyone onboard willing to enforce it!  One evening on formal night I saw a woman dressed in what appeared to be pajamas in the MDR, so if she can get away with that then sandals should not be a problem!

I am sure this is a punctuation issue. It should read: “fully covered; shoes and shirts required. “

I agree with everyone else...I have been on 6 cruises and I have never worn gym shoes... Ever!  Jane

We wear sandals everywhere. In fact I have worn them on more than 1 formal night.  Khakis polo and sandals. I have been doing some serious thinking about wearing a tuxedo t shirt on formal night on our cruise in Sept.

As @Mljstr pointed out, there is a comma missing.  I believe the point is that they don't want folks in their swimsuits and bare feet running around the restaurant.  I have never seen a "shoe inspection" on any Royal Caribbean ship.   But my toes are so ugly, they belong in fully covered shoes.....

This is the Windjammer after all. It doesn't get more casual than that. The only place I wear sandals is on a cruise and we eat at the WJ a lot.

I don't take closed shoes on cruises and never had a problem.  I also believe there is a comma missing and you must be fully covered and wear shoes and a shirt.

WHAT? Next thing you know they will be telling you, you can't wear shorts in the MDR for dinner!

Proper punctuation can be life saving

I was also concerned when I read that before my first cruise.    Everyone wore flip flops or sandals with no question.

I think some in this thread have it right..."Fully covered, shoes and shirt required."

I have to agree with that one!  When I am onboard I do not wear covered shoes except when I am in the gym, or on formal night! 

[DRLPP]

I think they added that restriction after my last cruise and I wore open toed shoes and the staff and cruisers saw way too much of my feet!. Not pretty!! Socks with sandals(?), please.

NO you can wear flipflops or sandals .....as long as you have on shoes.  I think it meant to say fully covered for the swimsuits.

This thread is 3 years old, lol, but of course you’re correct.
