Wonder out of San Diego dress code

[PattiPB]

Doing a Merrytime in December, and wondering about dress code. Is there a formal night on the 5-night cruise? The other nights, are people relatively casual, or dressy?

TIA~

Even on the formal nights, people are relatively casual. It's kinda 'informally formal'.

I believe cruises less than 7 night don't have an actual "formal" or "semi-formal" night. But there's usually a "dress up optional" night.

The only "dress code" on DCL is "no swimwear or tank tops in the main dining rooms for dinner".

You'll see all manner of dress for dinner, from full on formal to tshirts & shorts on any given night.

We just got off Wonder for a 5-night, though not a Merrytime. There was no formal or semi formal night. People were relatively casual, though some did dress up.

Since I heard from you...a few more questions: Did you have a Pirate night or anything else special? Fireworks? Deck parties? Anything you can tell me---I cruise a lot, but haven't done Disney in a decade!!!!!

Thanks for the replies! Kind of what I expected post-Covid. I'll dress to suit myself and not worry about anybody else.

There was a sail away deck party and a Pirate Night party with fireworks (that was on Day 3, same day as Cabo). Three different stage shows and one magician show (no stage show on 1st night).

If your dining rotation starts at Animator’s Palate, they don’t do the usual production until the 2d night you dine there, at the end of the cruise.

Mickey et al were in different outfits on different days (pirate gear on Pirate Night, for example).

Thanks for the info! We've got second dinner seating. How far in advance should we go to the stage shows to have decent seats?

I know that most people are relatively casual even on official nights, but I always take a dress for such an evening. It is a great occasion to dress up and look good, at least for myself and my family.

That's pretty much how I feel---I want the picture!!!!

You might be surprised how casual dress has become if you haven’t sailed in awhile.

You get to dress up or down as you like; just don’t have expectations to be surrounded by the same.

No question cruising has gotten sooooooo casual. My first cruise in 1980 on Paquet's MS Mermoz tuxes were REQUIRED on formal nights, and suit and tie on all other nights. And that was a ship with no alternate dining, it was MDR or nothing.

I remember that cruises used to have tux rentals (and I only started cruising in 2007).

What is the 5th dinner on a 5 night wonder cruise? You have each of the main dining rooms plus pirates. What is the 5th? Thank you!

On our Wonder cruise in April it was “welcome aboard” menu the first night.

Great. I was hoping to get that menu. Clam Chowder and Calamari!

The fifth night was back to the restaurant from the first night. We started at Animator’s, but the first night they didn’t do the typical show, and instead saved that for the last night.

Our rotation was Animator’s (no show) Tiana’s, Tiana’s for Pirate Night, Triton’s, then back to Animator’s (show).

Wear what makes you happy is my motto. I'm on vacation and paying a lot for it. I refuse to put a tie or coat on and just want to relax. Never had a problem on DCL or RCL. Just be you...
