Question....so what do you do if you choose not to participate in formal or semi-formal night? Where do you eat instead?
The thought of dressing up is nauseating for me, lol. I wear jeans and a button-up tee to work, and dressing up for a meeting means khakis. Definitely don't want to pack that fancy stuff, or wear it, on vacation. But I've never understood what the alternatives are on those nights.
Khakis with a button up would be fine. Not everyone dresses to the 9s even on formal night. You could also go try Cabanas for dinner. Cabanas becomes a relaxed table-service restaurant at dinner with a menu that takes a sampling of dishes from the main dining rooms. On our teen-free anniversary voyage last Sept we ate on the MDR on the first night. Every other night of the trip we ate from the walk-ups, Cabanas, or room service. We didn't feel like dressing for dinner. Formal night in the adult pool was awesome. Had the whole area to ourselves!Question....so what do you do if you choose not to participate in formal or semi-formal night? Where do you eat instead?

IIRC, you're on a 3-night cruise, Tom, and there is no formal night on the short cruises, so it won't be an issue at all!

The recommended dress (cruise casual, formal, dress up, etc) applies to the dining rooms at dinner. Breakfast and lunch in the dining rooms casual is okay such as shorts, tshirts, etc. Don't show up shirtless, barefoot, or (for ladies) in your swimsuit. That sort of thing. Make sense?Does the cruise casual dress apply to breakfast, lunch and dinner or just dinner?

Got it. You have all the answers. Thanks Sweetpee.
I wouldn't say I have all the answers. I've just enjoyed my share of eggs Benedict and panini's & fries. Well, prob'ly my share and half a dozen other people's shares. LOL!Got it. You have all the answers. Thanks Sweetpee.
**blush**She really does!

Well thank you. That's like the super nicest thing for a Disney nerd! LOL!
Trust me, before my first cruise I was totally freaked, too. I was so used to having all the knowledge of how things worked, the ins & outs of a WDW vacation. It was so unnerving to go on a cruise & feel like I knew nothing. Very uncomfortable. @Disneyfalcon & @HollyBelle were my lifesavers! I prob'ly made them insane with all my questioning. Holly was such a doll making extra effort to document & photograph every moment in the check-in & boarding process. That was huuuuge for me. Point is, I was new once. Someone helped me. It's only right for me to help others.LOL. But seriously, between you and Disneyfalcon answering my questions and others I feel like we are ready for our Cruise and wont have any surprises.
Correct! No formal or semi formal on the short cruises.
