I am really looking forward to a more formal atmosphere on Celebrity....or maybe the word I'm searching for is more respectful. I did read in the brochure that Celebrity expects the "attire of the day" to be worn in all dining rooms and theaters during and after dinner. I hope they enforce that. That's one thing that bothered me on our last cruise is what some people wore in the theater - tank tops and shorts and baseball caps. I thought is was very disrespectful of your fellow passengers. JMHO

yes, i am definitely going to have to go shopping!!!

I'm happy to know they still suggest "proper" attire in the evening and hope they enforce it. I do know they did enforce it in the dining room.

When I was on the Mercury our MaitreD said in response to their guests they would drop informal nights and ENFORCE the no jeans and other issue more stringently..

Far be it from me to tell you wjhta you have and need... but seriously I wouldnt go over board...Look at the examples of evening wear from the Celebrity web site...

Evening Attire Evenings aboard Celebrity include two types of dress: "Smart Casual and Above" and "Formal."

Examples of "Smart Casual and Above" and "Formal" attire include:

Smart Casual and Above

Ladies: Skirt or pants (no holes, rips or tears) complemented by sweater or blouse.

Gentlemen: Pants (no holes, rips or tears) with sports shirt or sweater. Shirts must have sleeves.

Note: T-shirts, swimsuits, robes, bare feet, tank tops, baseball caps and pool wear are not allowed in the main restaurant or specialty restaurant at any time. Shorts and flip flops are not allowed in the evening hours. Additionally, guests are asked to follow the "Smart Casual and Above" dress code in the Celebrity Theater for all evening performances.

Formal Ladies: Cocktail dress, gown or dressy pantsuit

Gentlemen: Tuxedo, suit or dinner jacket with slacks

The daily program, delivered to your stateroom and available at the Guest Relations Desk, will be your guide to the appropriate attire each evening.

RCI and Celebrity are sisters..... you know that right?

[deb1220]

Do you think capris or cropped pants would be acceptable on "Smart Casual" evenings.....as long as they weren't denim or jeans material?
