Disney Cruise Line dress code

Most onboard dining venues follow a cruise casual dress code, with polished casual pieces such as khakis, slacks or nice jeans with collared or polo shirts, dresses, skirts and stylish tops. Shorts, T-shirts and sundresses are fine, but swimwear and tank tops are not permitted.

Formal night frequency

On longer sailings, guests have one formal night and one semiformal night, and both are optional. Shorter sailings may have an optional dress-up night instead, where dressy attire such as a jacket or suit, dress or pantsuit is suggested. Most cruises also have a pirate or other themed deck party, which on some itineraries is a show instead.
