VR - Palo Private Dining DRESS CODE!!!

[DisneyDmbNut]

I have just stumbled upon a problem and my wedding coordinator is on vacation so maybe you all can help..

I have a vow renewal booked on Secret Deck 7 for 5:30pm and then we have Palo's private dining room reserved for 6pm dinner

Problem: DH and many of the party will be in Tommy Bahama style linen shirts and pants...not Palo dress code! Yikes!
Has anyone been in Palo's PD in non-dress code?

I am sure I am opening a can of worms as dress code is hotly debated, but we will be in a closed off room in view on no one!
Help!

Well i don't know how it is on DCL, but on other cruise lines, the dress code is a joke! You'll see guests in blue jeans and ratty t-shirts on formal night, and nothing is said to them. Goes back to the whole theory of "my cruise, i'll wear what i want" . But i wouldn't even think twice about Tommy Bahama and attire like that not being acceptable. I wouldn't wear cutoffs and a tank top, but otherwise, dress pants and a button down shirt should be acceptable for dinner.

While I agree with 29apr00 about the dress code being a joke in the restaurants on board, Palo is a private restaurant and I know they do have a dress code - not sure how much it is enforced. Why don't you take a look at the DCL portion of these boards and post your question there - or look for some posts about the dress code. We took a DCL cruise a few years ago and the night we ate in Palos we did dress up.

I would definately check out the cruise line board for this question.

I did post it over there..I got no real answers

I have a message into the WC (Cathy is on vacation) and my TA is sending a message to the onboard Palo team...I just wondered if anyone over here had had a private Palo dining

I have seen TONS of pictures of people wearing the same thing on DCL for their VR and dining is included in the package so I don't know if the DH just changes or goes in wedding attire

I did check out that board and found your post. No definate answer but I am sure you will be fine. Unfortunately, I guess you need to wait for an "official" answer from your wedding planner but it does sound like you will be ok - especially as you will be in a private room.

I got my answer from Palo today!!

 

[29apr00]

So what was the answer? Are they enforcing the dress code, or will your DH's attire be acceptable?

Hopefully it is a good answer as you have a dancing banana.

His attire is acceptable..

He isn't wearing the typical Tommy Bahama shirt..it is a white silk shirt and tan linen pants..I will make him put shoes on as he will be wearing sandals..but I am not worried about the shoes! That is an easy fix I can have in a bag on Deck 7!!

That is EXACTLY what i want DH to wear for the VR, and when i checked out TommyBahama.com, all i could find were print style shirts. Did you actually find a nice white dress shirt there?
