Is There a Dress Code on Disney Cruise Line?

A Disney Cruise Line vacation is all about having fun, being comfortable and relaxing! What you’re wearing plays a big part in being comfortable, and Disney knows that! We’re sure that you’ve wondered, at least once, what exactly you should wear during your cruise vacation. Today we have for you the answer to the question of “Is there a dress code on Disney Cruise Line?”

Over the last few years Disney as relaxed their dress code a bit, but we tend to stick to the old standards for the most part. For dinner, we personally change from shorts to pants for dinner and we avoid flip flops unless we’re going to the pool.

Most locations on the ship are cruise causal – this means whatever you’re wearing that day, shorts and a t-shirt are perfectly fine. Swimwear and tank tops are not permitted in any of the dining rooms.

There are special theme nights, that while participation is not required it is highly encouraged. Most sailings include a Pirate Night and longer cruises include semi-formal and formal nights.

Many guests dress up in pirate attire for Pirate Night – some go all out while others take a more subtle approach. All guests receive a pirate bandana to wear before dinner on the evening of the Pirate celebration.


Dressing up on dress up nights is completely optional, but it is a lot of fun. Disney Cruise Line recommends, “dress pants with a jacket or a suit for men, and dress or pantsuit for women.” For formal night the Whitakers dress up in what in the real world is probably considered semi-formal. A suit, a black dress, and for Christian a dress shirt, dress pants and a vest. For semi-formal the suit jacket and vest get put away and the boys dress in dress pants and button up shirts and instead of a dress this mommy opts for a blouse and skirt.

Palo and Remy present opportunities to dress up and enjoy some adult only times.

Here are Disney Cruise Line’s guidelines for these two locations.

Palo:
Men: dress pants or slacks and collared shirt; jacket is optional
Women: dress, skirt or pants with a blouse
Jeans may be worn if in good condition (no holes)

Remy:
Dinner:
Men: A jacket (such as a sports, suit or tuxedo jacket) is required, with dress pants/slacks and shoes. Ties are optional. Please no jeans, shorts, sandals, flip-flops or tennis shoes.
Ladies: Cocktail dress, evening dress, pant suit or skirt/blouse are required. Please no jeans, shorts, capri pants, sandals, flip-flops or tennis shoes.

Brunch and Dessert:
Men: Dress pants and a shirt are required for men. A jacket is optional. Please no jeans, shorts, capri pants, sandals, flip-flops or tennis shoes.
Women: A dress or pantsuit is required. Please no jeans, shorts, capri pants, sandals, flip-flops or tennis shoes.

There are great opportunities to enjoy dressing up as a family – in dress clothes or pirate attire – and there are chances to just relax in your favorite Disney t-shirt.

We Used Genie+ for the First Time. What did we Think?!

Back in June my sister, Sharon, and I took a girls trip to Disney World! It was a fun trip, and for the first time since it came out, we used Genie+. Today, we're going to share our thoughts about the experience.  What is Genie+?!  Genie+ is the paid for "skip the standyby line" option that replaced Fastpass+. It debuted on October 1, 2021 on the first day of the 50th Anniversary Celebration. This is what the Walt Disney World website says about the service, " Use the Lightning Lane entrances offered through Disney Genie+ service and save time waiting in line. On average, Guests can enter 2 to 3 attractions or experiences per day using Lightning Lane entrances, if the first selection is made early in the day." There is also a second option, Individual Attraction Selection. The Disney World site says, " You may also purchase individual—or à la carte—Lightning Lane entry selections for specific attractions that aren’t offered through Disney Genie+ service. Pu

Dinner at Royal Court on the Disney Fantasy

We’ve mentioned more than a few times that each of the four Disney ships has three main dining rooms. All four ships have the fun Animator’s Palate that we talked about a couple of weeks ago, as well as a themed dining rooms on the Magic and Wonder (Rapunzel’s and Tiana’s) and Enchanted Garden on the Dream and Fantasy. We’ll talk about Enchanted Garden in our next Disney Cruise Line focused post! This week, though, we’re excited to talk about the third main dining room on the Disney Fantasy, Royal Court. Royal Court, like Royal Palace on the Dream, Triton’s on the Wonder, and Lumiere’s on the Magic is the most upscale of the three main dining rooms. Located right off the main lobby Royal Court is a grand dining room that celebrates Disney’s royal couples. Throughout the dining room there are mosaics of Disney Princess and their princes including Belle and Beast,  Jasmine and Aladdin, Tiana and Naveen, Cinderella and Prince Charming, Aurora and Phillip, Ariel and Eric, and Snow Wh
