CRUISE SHIP

In the dining rooms (the only place where the dress code is officially ‘restricted') you'll still find guys wearing jeans, t-shirts, shorts, flip-flops, etc. With Carnival's anytime dining, there's a good chance you'll be seated uncomfortably close to another group - especially if it's just two of you. It's nice when you get to meet new people, hear about their excursions and where they're from - but if I'm wearing a tuxedo and another guy sits next to me in a t-shirt, I feel like a real doofus (even though logically speaking, he's the doofus who didn't follow the dress code)... But why would he? Only rarely have we seen people waiting in line in the dining room be told that it's formal night and that shorts/flip-flops aren't allowed, and the majority violators walk right in and get a table without issue... On our last cruise, out of a couple hundred people in the dining room, there were probably 3 men in tuxedos, 30 in suits, 70 in slacks/shirt, and a handful of rule-breakers..
