\"Eclipse\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At first glance, the latest attempt to define how people should dress when going for dinner on Celebrity<\/a> cruise ships could be called splitting hairs. <\/p>\n

Or threads.<\/p>\n

No more “formal” nights in the dining room. They’re being replaced by “evening chic” nights. What’s evening chic?<\/p>\n

“Dressier than smart casual, less dressy than formal.”<\/p>\n

Dig a little deeper and you’ll discover that what Celebrity is really trying to do is this: Allow \"Eclp-Dining\"<\/a>people to wear designer jeans to the dining room as part of dressing up while making sure they don’t wear ripped jeans…designer or not.<\/p>\n

That’s called “too” casual. So are shorts and t-shirts and, yes, you’d think that people wouldn’t have to be told how to dress when going to a “dining” room. But they do.<\/p>\n

So in Celebrity’s case, and only on “evening chic” nights, you must dress up by wearing a sports jacket and designer jean (men) or a “flirty dress” (women). You will, of course, still be welcome if you wear a tuxedo or evening gown since that attire is still part of the cruise experience for a shrinking crowd.<\/p>\n

What we’d like to know is…who’s going to enforce the dress code? It has been our experience on any number of ships that when certain attire (specifically shorts) is not allowed at dinner, you can always find somebody — and more than one person — in the dining room wearing shorts, and sometimes t-shirt, too.<\/p>\n
