Wnbfrog 8 Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 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! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DunkelBierJay 700 Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KristiZ 877 Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 I think the only thing that has to be fully covered in the Windjammer is your swim suit! Mljstr 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mljstr 259 Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 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 RickinSTL, Baked Alaska, RWDW1204 and 7 others 1 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ellcee 1,518 Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 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. lovecruising!!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Catopalooza 5 Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 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.

ericgoodwin 21 Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 I've worn flip flops and water shoes in there plenty of times Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wnbfrog 8 Posted July 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Thanks everyone. I didn't think it would have been an issue but he is a stickler for the rules. Me not so much. mom2mybugs 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bhageerah 574 Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 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!

Mljstr 259 Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 I am sure this is a punctuation issue. It should read: “fully covered; shoes and shirts required. “ Baked Alaska, Big Tule, Momof4crazytocruise and 4 others 2 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mom2mybugs 1,661 Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 I agree with everyone else...I have been on 6 cruises and I have never worn gym shoes... Ever! Jane Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fonemanbob 387 Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 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. lovecruising!!!, mom2mybugs and Mljstr 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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..... RWDW1204, mom2mybugs and Hoski 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
packercruising 126 Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 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. LilLady 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hoski 371 Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ShelliP 1 Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 I was also concerned when I read that before my first cruise. Everyone wore flip flops or sandals with no question. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DRLPP 116 Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
