Does a formal dress code apply to Teenagers?

On formal nights Teenagers are expected to follow the evening's dress code just as closely as adults.

On board ship Teens are still expected to wear formal dress when it is a formal evening. There may be a little more leeway in terms of the degree of formality for children and teenagers, however, they are expected to be dressed up more than they would be during the daytime. 

For boys, polo shirts, smart shirts and dress trousers is acceptable for most evenings and girls can wear dresses, skirts and blouses or sweaters.

The type of clothing to avoid would be shorts, t-shirts, ripped jeans etc.

Most teens love the idea of getting glam for an evening but if they really don’t want to take part they can always opt for the buffet option where casual is acceptable.

Excellent service, our agent was really good and knowledgeable. She helped us decide what we wanted from our cruise she couldn’t have done anymore for us.

No need to go elsewhere

The Service delivered from cruise kings was exceptional,they understood my needs and everything was booked and confirmed very quickly and at a great price. In the past I have always booked directly with the cruiseline in future I will be going direct to Cruisekings.

The best cruise agents ever.

The best service, and after service ever. Nothing is ever too much trouble, they are always available to help you with any queries, or worries you may have. In my opinion Cruise Kings quotes are practically impossible to beat. They go above and beyond for their customers. They are a pleasure to deal with, and I highly recommend them.
