For the formal nights on the Southern Caribbean Cruise, would a navy blazer, slacks and a shirt and tie work for my husband and teenage son? Or do they really need suits?

Thanks,

Cheryl

I think so. It should be fine, esp. for the Carib. No worries.

kfusto

I agree with jacketwatch.

Enjoy Adventure, she is a great ship!

jacketwatch

Is that one of those ships with the rock wall, Bball court, etc?

georgec

We cruised on the Jewel in Caribbean and casual dress with tie is easily accepted

kfusto

Yes, AOS has all of those things and I am assuming this is the ship as it appeals more to families than Serenade who sails the Southern route also.

Also an ice rink, BBall court, etc.

I disagree with georgec that casual attire with a tie is appropriate however. The majority do follow the dress code.

kfusto,

You agreed with jacketwatch; and then said later that you disagreed with georgec who said the very same thing.

Blazer, shirt & tie are not formal wear, they are informal. Or what some might describe as "casual with a tie".

This topic has been discussed ad nauseum, but I think that the majority agree that formal is either a tuxedo or business suit for a man. Blazer, slacks & shirt are not formal.

Thank you. Our trip on the Splendour was OK but the Voyager class is a whole different experience it seems.

kfusto

Casual dress to me does not indicate a jacket, and Georgec did not mention one.

I did not contradict myself and prefer a dark suit or tux personally but think a jacket and tie suffice.

katybird

Yes, tux or dark suit is considered formal wear BUT I think what is being said here is that people do deviate from the formal wear and it is accepted. Some approve, others do not.

jacketwatch

Katybird: That sums it up beautifully.

Thanks so much everyone. This was helpful and fun to read. We will go with the blazer, slacks, shirt and tie and hope that we don't offend too many people!
