No short sleeves on Princess?
You are right in that no one should be put out in order to fulfil someone elses
needs. But on almost all ships there are several dining venues. If a person does not want to dress for dinner there are places to eat where they do not need to. My contention is with those who want to dress down and still mingle with those who prefer to dress up. Is it because these people just want make a point and draw attention to themselves? My opinion only, Cal Ford Lido Deck Cruises In article , Just A Cruiser says... And in reverse, do you ever stop to consider that you are placing a burden on them to make YOUR cruise experience what YOU want? Every story has two sides. "Cal Ford" wrote in message ... This is directed towards men that do not wear a jacket or a sweater. They are trying to discourage people from showing up in a short sleeve sports shirt, or less. Interesting that these people who show up way underdressed for the occasion get huffy and say " I paid for this Cruise and I will wear what I want". That sentiment is also used to justify many other things on a Cruise. Do these people ever stop to consider that many people pay for a Cruise that includes Dress Up and other things and therefore their actions are causing us to get less than what we paid for. Just my opinion. Cal Ford Lido Deck Cruises In article , hlind says... A recent (Nov 07) Princess Patter says "No short sleeves allowed on formal night". On six cruises, my husband has always worn a short- sleeve dress shirt under his dark suit. Surely they aren't checking what's under the suit jacket? Or are they getting picky? Helen |

No short sleeves on Princess?
Hello LaLa John........
You do not seem to be the issue as no doubt you know and exercise good taste. What bugs me is people who show up dressed in dirty jeans and a T-Shirt offering Dating Advice. Although I have had my own Tux for years there are still many times I opt for shirt and jacket, tie optional depending on the weather. I cannot agree with the statement someone made that people know the rules before they book. That used to be the case but many people book now without consulting with a TA or even a knowledgeable friend. So they really do not know the traditions and etiquettes of a Cruise. Plus the Cruise Lines themselves have made a serious efort to lower thje bar so to speak. Myself, I prefer an upscale ship that is 100% informal, no coats or ties ever. My opinion only, Cal Ford Lido Deck Cruises Unfortunately not all itineraries offer the option of NO FORMAL NIGHT cruising. Remember the golden rule of business - Who Has the Gold Makes the Rules. Last time I looked it was the customers who had the gold. Anyway, if Penguins want to strut, they can strut to their hearts content. I'll dress as I desire, within the bounds of current good taste [shirt, jacket, slacks, and shoes], and enjoy my filet with the rest. If that attire offends, sorry about that - you need to get a life. Cheers, John in LALALand [Home of lots of Penguins - almost all with rented feathers] |

Having said that, they don't really enforce that rule. I have a tailor made Thai traditional custome. The (short sleeved!!!) shirt is also the jacket; kind of safari-style suite. Never had any problems wearing this on a formal evening. |

Thus spake Cal Ford :
This is directed towards men that do not wear a jacket or a sweater. They are trying to discourage people from showing up in a short sleeve sports shirt, or less. Interesting that these people who show up way underdressed for the occasion get huffy and say " I paid for this Cruise and I will wear what I want". That sentiment is also used to justify many other things on a Cruise. Do these people ever stop to consider that many people pay for a Cruise that includes Dress Up and other things and therefore their actions are causing us to get less than what we paid for. Cal, these are the same people who don't read the instructions on the bike they bought for their kid. I had one person tell that "if that's the way they feel" (requiring collared shirts and no shorts at dinner) " then maybe we'll just go to Couples, instead." Where they require collared shirts and no shorts at dinner in the main restaurants. Just my opinion. Cal Ford Lido Deck Cruises In article , hlind says...

Cal, these are the same people who don't read the instructions on the bike they bought for their kid. Story heard on the late Pride of Hawaii last week: a passenger was complaining about not being able to be seated in a speciality restaurant. It was explained that reservations were needed, and that the procedure was explained in every Freestyle Daily. Passenger: "I didn't go on vacation to read!" I don't think I noticed what a single passenger was wearing on the whole 12 day cruise around the islands and back to Los Angeles. Really, what they wore was none of my business, and neither was what they thought of what I wore. |

I've paid my money and I am on vacation. Nowhere in my cruise contract does it say "YOU MUST WEAR FORMAL CLOTHES ON FORMAL NIGHT IN THE DINING ROOM." The contract also doesn't prohibit masturbating in the pool. Do you actually believe you have a right to do anything you desire because you "paid your money and are on vacation"? |
