Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 It was reported to me first by Grumpy and I have now found some confirmation. Disney Cruise Line is now allowing short in Cruise Casual nights in the Main Dining Room.http://disneycruiselineblog.com/2013/08/disney-cruise-line-formally-revises-cruise-casual-attire-to-include-shorts/http://www.usatoday.com/story/cruiselog/2013/08/19/disney-cruise-dress-code-shorts/2670267/What are your feelings on this?[email protected] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alexwyattmommy 181 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Since they were already doing it on TCD's cruise, the PTB might as well go with the flow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beckers 1,136 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Yuck. People already dress poorly thus just allows them to dress even worse. Decent looking shorts like khakis with a polo is one thing but you know this means people will be wearing basketball shorts, booty shorts etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 There is no hope for civilization. Is it that difficult to throw on a pair of pants? I understand that there are people who cannot afford a nice pair of khakis or dress slacks, but if not I wouldn't expect they would be cruising. And chronicling their travels on their iPhone. This is all just another step toward societal ruin. When I was a kid people would dress up when they traveled by air. Today the majority of people on planes are dressed like slobs. Why is this ok? This constant chipping away at the standards of decorum is a symptom (or a root cause?) of the breakdown in society. And why wouldn't we expect this? We fill our brains with over-sexualized bimbos and jerks...and that's just on the Disney Channel. We emulate the Kardashians or any number of other celebrities who wear skimpy clothes and flaunt their fake, plastic enhanced bodies. I swear, if I ever get back on a Disney cruise ship and encounter some fool in the dining room dressed in skimpy shorts and looking all skanky or sloppy, I'm giving that stupid jerk an atomic wedgie.

Beckers 1,136 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Dave, I remember when Brian and I first started going to plays in NYC. We would be dressed up as would most people. Now even business casual makes you look over dressed.Now I love me some jeans and t shirts but there is a place and time for that. Broadway and dinner on cruise ships isn't.

Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted August 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 I guess I am part of the downfall of mankind then. I am happy about this. While I did not mind dressing up for Formal night and the 2 times we ate at Palo I hated wearing pants to dinner. I am on vacation in a warm environment. I wear slacks or casual pants for work. On my time off I wear shorts unless the weather dictates otherwise. Having to pack the extra pants was an annoyance for me. If we go back on a Disney Cruise I look forward to wearing shorts. Mind you I will not be in short shorts, or jean shorts. I will wear my casual shorts but I will be so much more comfortable. As for Broadway shows I have to disagree there too. Again I am off. If it is part of a larger planned romantic night then I might dress up for it. But we have been known to take the train into NYC spend the day, catch a show and take the train back. I am not wearing a suit the whole day while doing all of that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 To clarify, I was referring to the suggested formal nights. I don't plan on giving you an atomic wedgie, Jason. LOL. Katman1356...Jason 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 I'd be happy to be on a cruise where every night is formal. Don't get the chance to dress up often and really enjoy it. I don't want to be cruising with people who wear shorts to dinner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 The only cruising I do is the kind where you roll both windows down in the front of my Chevy truck on the dirt roads and two-tracks in the middle of nowhere up north. It is perfectly acceptable to wear shorts, sleeveless tees, camo, boots, sunglasses, boonie hats, etc. Just in case you wanted to know the proper decorum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lou... 3,118 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 I'm with the, I don't like it crowd. Heck I won't even wear a t shirt in public. Actually I couldn't as I don't have any.And don't get me started on flip flops at a nice restaurant.Put on a collared shirt, long, non jean, pants, and decent shoes if the restaurant requires it.

alexwyattmommy 181 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 I remember buying a fancy sundress to wear when I was a pre-teen for my first flight on an airplane. New shoes and a new hair do. They gave me plastic wings too on the flight there and back. And we had real food.I personally don't mind a nice pair of longer shorts. Even the tan cargo shorts are not too bad if worn with a shirt with a collar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Guys in shorts and a polo don't bother me. Teen girls in hoochie shorts do. That is very true. But I cannot give them atomic wedgies for fear of being labeled a sick predator. So I must wait for a dude in athletic shorts, then BAM! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brent... Just Brent 83 Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Shockingly, and some of you have met me and would be really shocked, I agree with Dave. I cringe when I walk into Magic Kingdom and kids AND dads are in gym shorts. Really? So, like Dave, you KNOW this is coming on a cruise. I can see guys wearing nicer shorts to dinner, but I actually wouldn't mind slacks myself. For what I'm paying for my February cruise I may flip out if some guy sitting at my table rolls in wearing his best Under Armour shorts. Was that just a rant? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

arthuruscg 34 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Wow, we are cruising in September and I was only planning to bring cargo shorts. I am going to bring sneakers because my feet get cold. And my watch is staying in my suitcase. Sent from my DROID4 using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PureTcrazy...rita 380 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 We prepared to go to the signature restaurants by reading about them. They said business casual. V & A requires men to wear a jacket & tie I believe. I was SHOCKED by the things people wore to these restaurants. Y'all know, I am as casual as it gets when we are at the parks or anywhere I can get away with it, but I do believe there are times that feel more special when you dress up. That being said, I also see Jason's point. I am HOT all the time, so I might want to wear my booty shorts and tiny shirt! LOL NOT, but I would hate to be a man and have to wear slacks!
