Are sleeveless or strapless tops appropriate for casual dining nights on Royal Caribbean cruises?

Question

I've been searching everywhere but people only say "no t-shirts or tank tops" and to wear "tops or blouses". I have some nice sleeveless tops I'd like to take, but don't want them to be seen as "tank tops", and I've found some long tube tops on sale that I would like to get, but want to make sure these would be appropriate. For pants I was thinking a pair of dressier gauchos. I don't have much money to shop for new clothes for a 4 night cruise, but don't want to have any problems with the dining.

We are sailing to the Bahamas, by the way.

Answer 1

Simple....no jeans or shorts in the dinning rooms.....all else wear what you want....don't be pressed to dress like you are going to a wedding...just relax, you wont see these people again. Those who spend time looking around will forget you when they see someone or something else to look at....and have a blast when the LIGHTS DIM AND THE WAITERS START DANCING.....you will be able to order whatever you like and eat as much as you like even in the formal dinning rooms.....yes it is paid for. EAT ALL YOU WANT

Answer 2

yes you can wear them . its ok

Answer 3

You will be fine. Some people still wear jeans and t-shirts. Your on Vacation, relax and wear what is comfortable to you. Have fun. I had a blast on my cruise

Answer 4

I have been on 2 Royal Caribbeans, 1 Holland America, and then we're going on a Royal Caribbean this summer. Guys can pretty much wear anything except swimsuits or tank tops on casual nights and girls can wear anything except shorts and swimsuits....people wear anything from jeans and a nice top to a  dress. On formal nights, you can wear just nice dress pants and a nice top, or you can wear a dress. On smart casual nights, you can wear pretty much the same thing as on casual nights, except a little dressier. They say you can't wear tank tops and shorts and stuff just so people won't dress inappropriatly. I wore tank tops a couple of nights, and my brother wore shorts and nobody said anything. Everybody is really nice.....Have fun!!!
