could any one tell us what the dress code for the speciallity restaurants are please. myself i would think a pair of trousers and a shirt would be enough, correct me if im wrong.

I just looked at a couple of Cruise Compasses from our recent cruise on the Freedom. "Smart Casual" is listed for the specialty restaurants, which means trousers and button down shirt to me. But given the nature of fine dining one encounters, many guests dress up for their special night. On the formal nights for the ship, I would dress up for the specialty restaurants.

When we ate at the specialty restaurants, my husband wore trousers,shirt and sport coat. I did see on a few occasions others with sport coats and others without. Trousers & button down shirt would be fine. Enjoy! Lynn http://cruise-chat.com/groupee_commo...icon_smile.gif

also just a quick note you guys from the states use the word sports coat
,in english terms what would that define as. if you know what i mean. regards chris

Hi Chris,
It could be described as a blazer, or like the jacket of a suit. Best wishes and have a wonderful cruise!

thanks penny
