WCMO is this ( on board Silver Moon, cruising the tropics). Read the dress code

So tomorrow, “men must wear a jacket in all indoor spaces”.

Really? I have to have a jacket on all the time when I’m inside the ship? My cabin? At breakfast?

No. WCMO is their inability to write a coherent sentence of what they mean. What they mean is in the dining and bar areas you have to wear a jacket. Which is stupid enough in the tropics, but is it really so difficult to form those words in print?

Of course I’m going to put my backside on a chair in the bar jacketless 😱 and see what happens.

Oh I look forward to that next instalment. It will go like 'sir, please put on your jacket or - you can hire one from the ship' 😂. Please update.

Mind you, some of the carp that some people think is ok to wear in public on a ship is mind blowing.

Oh, this lot are all twin set and pearls. Gent in the restaurant tonight with jacket and a dapper handkerchief poking out of breast pocket. And it was ‘elegant casual attire’ allowed tonight! I mean my God! I wore an open neck casual shirt with sleeves rolled up in a number of the indoor spaces, including dinner 😳😱🤷‍♂️

BTW do you like the way I’ve done my hair?
This is not going to end well.

Might be slightly overdressed in the spa, but rules are rules.

Just wear the jacket and nothing else?
 
On Silversea these days you will see on formal nights many men with no jacket or tie. A few Maitre’Ds will lend a jacket which invariably is carried to the table and is left over the chair.
I though actually prefer to dress up and have had 2 jackets plus a dinner suit on cruises longer than 30 days.
The only cruises we have done in the Caribbean have been Expedition cruises where jackets are not required at any time. Though I usually took 1 of my pink jackets.

So I can’t envision any fireworks in this particular instance.

I don't think the jacket is a problem per se, but the very poor instructions (which are also found in on the Silversea website about what to pack) where it is a blanket 'indoors' - duh - obviously they mean public areas but were sloppy and no one seemed to have seen the incongruity of the statement. :rolleyes:

I do remember reading drron of the time when you left your pink jacket home by mistake though IIRC you bought a new jacket before boarding. 🧥

It’s not even that. It applies after 6 pm- for example not for lunch. The next sentence refers to no jeans etc ‘ prohibited in indoor spaces’ after 6 pm, so that implies that the previous sentence applies all day.

And it’s not even all public spaces. I was told I was allowed to traverse a holy restaurant or bar etc. sans jacket if I needed to get from A to B, or if I wanted to talk to someone at the service desk which is in one of the bar areas. 🙄

We’ll see.

But isn't a puffer jacket a Tasmanian Tuxedo? You could explain the cultural difference
