Xaa Posted June 4, 2023 Report Share Posted June 4, 2023 Shorts are not allowed per dress code, but the dress code is not enforced for such. They will be fine. ChessE4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only true dress code RC has for MDR is no bare feet and no tank tops. Anything else is a suggestion. Main Dining Room/Specialty Dining Venues Bare feet are not allowed at any time in any venue and tank tops are not permitted in the Main Dining Room or Specialty Dining venues for dinner.

I certainly don't care and think OP's kids (and anyone who wants) should wear the shorts, but I see this in the App addressing shorts at dinner The full FAQ response that you quoted is more vague but talks about when shorts are welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luly Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 My kids wore tshirts and shorts, not even khaki ones, every night on our Caribbean cruise and not a word was said and I never felt like I was getting weird looks.

OCSC Mike Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 That wording from the app can be ignored. You will see tons of shorts on adults & kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lforbes013 Posted September 7 Report Share Posted September 7 Hi all, we are getting ready to take our 4 year old cruising for the first time and I’m starting to over think the dress codes. It’s the “no shorts” for the main dining room. Our boy is 4 and I dress him in short trousers and a shirt for dinner on holidays. Will this be ok for he casual nights? I’m packing chinos and blazers for him for smart casual and he will have a kilt for formal nights. We like to dress up and littles in dress shorts will surely be acceptable, no?!?

Welcome to the boards! Your plan is a great one. You'll find a wide range of interpretation on the dress code, particularly for children. Do whatever makes you comfortable and happy.

Ryan79 Posted September 7 Report Share Posted September 7 I have yet to see a child under 10 get dress coded in the MDR. Your dress plans will not even remotely be an issue.

Gadget Hackwrench Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 I am firmly of the belief that more people would dress for the special themed nights if more advance notice was sent out to people. 70s night, white colour night, tropical: great I have none of those in my luggage.

The only folks likely to get this info ahead of time are those staying in suites who will have been contacted by the Suite Concierge. Even then, it's usually less than a full week notice.

Ours has a dress code - you must be dressed (unless every blind/shade/curtain is closed AND you are the only one home). WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
