Good Morning Cruisers! Called DCL this morning to verify that shorts were now allowed in the MDR's, and they are! Not sure if that will affect us or not, but wanted to let you know. Might help with luggage space? 
And I asked if the Halloween festivities were just one night and if so, what night? And the cm replied "Oh, every night! Just check your Navigators for the daily festivities, it's going to be fun!". I'm pretty sure we don't wear costumes every night, so we'll just be checking that Navigator in our room!
Hope this helps!
Glad that they have finally just changed the policy on shorts. I understand the concept, but the reality was very different.
We have decided we are going to wear our costumes. I read somewhere - now don't remember where but I'm sure on the DIS somewhere 
that the adult costume party is one evening - that should be FUN!! 
Thanks for the information.
Interesting about the halloween activities.
I know last cruise, dh and ds wore dress khaki's every night, and they would look around and say "Well...THEY are wearing shorts, so why can't we?" So, I'm betting my guy will wear shorts once or twice....though when I mentioned it, he said "Not a big deal". 
) So, it'll be interesting if someone else calls, what they say!
The reality that folks were already doing so? Is that what you mean?
My DH doesn't really mind but especially on that first day when luggage is just being delivered etc it was a bit of a pain to have to change into nicer khakis.
Yes! Exactly!! LOL.
Boy, do I understand! Last cruise, we left Memphis in October, had to wear jackets as it had turned unusually cool, got to port, and they had an unusual storm with 18ft swells!! We got so wet at the muster drill, and barely had time to get cleaned up before early dining. It would have been SO nice to slip on his shorts,but we followed guidelines.
Is anyone with a GTY room still waiting on a room assignment? Hopefully most people have their rooms by now - the waiting game is a test of patience!
We bit the bullet and have booked at Harbor House the night before. I swore we weren't going to, as we are only about 1 1/2 hours away, but the thought of leaving the "real world" behind a bit sooner was just too much.
We're at HH too...but we're way more than 5 hours away. Now, you've got our curiosity up. What is the soda fountain place?
when she looked at the website and the food!
When I told him that I would want to get up and go and stand at the pier to watch her sail in (at about 6 am), he "graciously" agreed to stay at HH. 
THAT is so cool! We love vintage places! How far is that from HH? Can we walk? We'll have a car, but know we won't want to go too far! But, yum! My 14dd got giggly
Sometimes I just have to grin at the things that get people all worked up. My personal experience is that life is wayyyyy too busy, and wayyyyy too short (<- ha pun! ) to worry about what others do or don't do when I am on vacation. I will just say this though. I did however notice at the adult pool, there was a lady I saw on several occasions who wore the most beautiful colored straw hats - the large floppy kind - and it matched her bathing suit (different colors) every time I saw her. I was VERY jealous that she could look so glamorous and have all that room to pack those large hats!! 
That's my only recollection of anyone elses dress. She rocked those hats!
