Dress code/Palo

[CPM]

Disney Cruise Line® has altered its dress code, and now requires that gentlemen wear a dress shirt when dining at Palo. A jacket (or tie) is still suggested but not required. Gentlemen wearing t-shirts, golf shirts, Tommy Bahamas type shirts, etc. will be turned away.

This information is included in the Disney Cruise Line® Personal Navigator aboard the ship and the Palo reservation confirmation card. In addition, there is also a small sign outside the elevators on Deck 10, aft. The Champagne Brunch and High Tea will remain Resort Casual.


Just an FYI for anyone that needs to know.

This appears to be a tightening of the dress code which I believe is a good thing. On our 6/20 Wonder cruise, I would say that 50% of the men wore jackets at Palo, 40% wore a dress shirt and tie, and 10% wore golf shirts (no tie obviously). So, the effect might be fewer men in jackets, but it will also eliminate the dress-down crowd.

No enforcement last weekend...although most people were dressed up for Palo, we saw men in what definitely were not dress shirts. We had a family with the guys in shorts in Triton's too. I know Disney tries, but I think the dress code is a losing battle.

Just because you may never achieve 100% compliance doesn't mean you shouldn't fight the battle. I am still planning to pack a jacket for Palo, but I hope to reserve ties for weddings, funerals, and anniversaries that end in a "0". Unless DW throws her usual snit. (In case you can't tell, I hate ties!)

I agree. I would like to see them inforce this dress code.

My DH is not one to dress up. On our recent Western Cruise I made him wear a button down shirt, dress pants, and a belt.. I then asked him to tuck in his shirt which was a whole other conversation--- He looked quite presentable and then we went to Palo brunch where the 1st person we saw was in a basketball tank top and basketball shorts. Of course I got the roll of the eyes but am now hoping not to see that sort of dress again. My DH works outside as a tree-man and landscape and that is why he does not like to dress up. It is just not him but he is usually willing to tuck in a shirt for me. I like the somewhat dress code.

Thanks for the info. It's nice to hear these things before you get on the ship.

That's funny. I ha ve the exact opposite problem with my husband. He dresses up for work all the time so he doesn't want to dress up on vacation. I like seeing him dress up to be with us onec ina hile so I told him he had to wear a suit to dinner!! LOL
