Creator's Key Takeaways

Gone are the days of mandatory tuxedos and ball gowns.

For men, a nice button-down shirt and slacks, maybe a blazer and ties are optional.

Kids can pretty much get away with anything as long as they look nice.

It's your cruise. It's your rules. Do what you want to do.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Wear a nice button-down shirt and slacks for men, with ties optional.
Women can wear a cocktail dress, jumpsuit, or nice blouse with pants or skirt.
Kids can wear khakis, polo shirts, sundresses, or leggings; comfort is key.
Avoid tank tops or flip-flops to prevent being turned away from the dining room.
Check specialty restaurant dress codes before paying, as they may require fancier attire.
