Loriann Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 I read that flip flops are not allowed in the MDR (maybe specialty restaurants as well?), but I wondered if dressy flip flops were acceptable, ones that have a little "bling". Otherwise we will need to do some shopping soon! Quote
constable145 Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 No problem with flip-flops in the MDR. The dress code is rarely (if ever) enforced. Quote
RestingBird Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 On formal night I'd suggest more than flip flops. But, I know some heels, and the like, can be very fancy and formal looking, but at the same time be considered flip flops/sandals. Not sure that makes sense, but what I'm getting at is...blingy whatevers should be ok. They don't want "pool clothes", or the "I don't give a ****" look in the MDR, that's what the Windjammer is for. However, as @Matt has mentioned in many podcasts, and I've experienced in my own cruising, some shopping for new cruise-wear is a must before each cruise ? Matt, LetsTryThisPlace and accio7 3 Quote
monctonguy Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 For guys its not acceptable...closed toe shoes (and socks?).....doesn't matter how dressy it is is my understanding. Geema 1 Quote

This is exactly what I do. They are dressy and not beachy. I can't wait heels per doctors orders. Quote

TrixieBOI Posted February 4, 2018 Report Posted February 4, 2018 Thank you, Loriann. I had the same question! I have some very cute dressy flip flops with rhinestone straps. Perfect for some of the maxi-dresses I want to wear for dinner in the MDR save for the "no flip flops" rule! Quote
Loriann Posted February 5, 2018 Author Report Posted February 5, 2018 Thanks for everyone's replies! I really wasn't looking forward to buying new sandals for me and each of my teenage daughters! Quote

craig403 Posted February 21, 2018 Report Posted February 21, 2018 My wife wears nice black flip flops. She can't wear heels because she has a surgical pin in her ankle. No one has ever said a thing. I wear bling flip-flops with a nice jacket and slacks. Naw,,,,JK. :-) But I wouldn't be surprised to see someone like that. Quote

It's formal night but I've been in shorts and a long sleeve polo since after dinner. Sparse crowd in the Safari Club but people are trickling in. Edit: Aaaand, the second show just let out. The joint is filling up nicely! Nearly packed now. Second edit: Wow! Quote
