If you choose to eat in the formal dining room on non-formal nights its pretty much casual dress, we usually wear pants and a nice top, there is a list of things that are not allowed. This is the general "rules" of the dining area as posted by carnival.
Cruise Casual Dining Dress Code: Gentlemen - Sport slacks, khakis, jeans (no cut-offs), dress shorts (long), collared sport shirts; Ladies - Casual dresses, casual skirts or pants and blouses, summer dresses, Capri pants, dress shorts, jeans (no cut-offs).
Not permitted in the dining room during the Cruise Casual dinner for ladies and gentlemen: shorts, gym shorts, basketball shorts, beach flip-flops, bathing suit attire, cut-off jeans, sleeveless shirts for men and baseball hats.
Cruise Elegant Dining Dress Code: Gentlemen - Dress slacks, dress shirts. We also suggest a sport coat. If you wish to wear suits and ties or tuxedos, by all means we invite you to do so. Ladies - Cocktail dresses, pantsuits, elegant skirts and blouses; if you‘d like to show off your evening gowns, that's great too!
Not permitted in the dining room during the Cruise Elegant dinner for ladies and gentlemen: shorts, gym shorts, T-shirts, beach flip-flops, bathing suit attire, jeans, cut-off jeans, sleeveless shirts for men, sportswear, and baseball hats.
Keep in mind that there are other dining options on the ship, like the buffet on lido deck that is offered for all three meals. There is no dress code for this....come in your bathing suit if u want.
The first night is a "come as you are" dining, so whatever u come on the ship is fine. Please remember that you may not recieve your luggage within a timely manner so either include some extra clothes in your carryon if you would like to change for dinner the first night. On our last cruise we didnt recieve all of our luggage until after 7pm.
Hope this helps :)
