Carnival Cruises Formality - Informal

Dress Code

Casual attire and resort wear is the order of the day both on board and in port. Shorts, trousers, sundresses, blouses, etc., are in line for women. Clothing for men is just as casual. You should bring a pair of rubber-soled sandals or sneakers to wear on deck and a pair of good walking shoes. You might also want to consider bringing along a sweater or jacket for cool evenings and inexpensive rain gear in case of a sudden shower. Women may want to bring along a hat or scarf.

You'll have a chance to dress up on two nights during 7 day or longer cruises (one night on shorter cruises) for the Captain's Cocktail Party and the Gala Farewell Dinner. On the other evenings you can dress casually for dinner (no shorts or tank tops).

For those not wanting to dress up, the Lido Restaurants are open nightly and have a casual dress code.

Formal Wear: dinner jacket; suit and tie; sport coat, tie and trousers; evening gown; cocktail dress. Casual Resort Wear: sport shirts and trousers; dresses; skirts.

Note: Shorts, t-shirts and bathing attire are not permitted in the Dining Room during dinner.

Dining

Dining preferences (early/main or late; travelling companions) can be requested by the travel agent or guest at the time of booking. No requests are guaranteed and all are subject to availability. By popular request, all dining rooms are smoke-free. Table size, the table number and dining time will be confirmed upon boarding the ship. 

The informal Lido Restaurant offers snacks and food 24 hours a day and has a wide range of options including pizza and sushi and there is also 24 hour room service offering sandwiches, beverages, desserts and fruit. 

Spirit-class and Conquest-class ships have the added convenience of a reservations-only supper club (nominal fee will apply).
