Dining Attire Disney Cruise Line ships feature an array of diverse dining experiences, from casual to upscale. Be sure to follow the dress code for your restaurant:
Main Dining – Dining attire is cruise casual in all 3 main dining restaurants, meaning no swimwear or tank tops. Guests often like to dress up, but this is optional.
Adult Exclusive Dining at Palo and Remy – To preserve the elegant ambiance of these restaurants, you are asked to adhere to a dress code when dining at Palo or at Remy. We recommend dress pants or slacks and a collared shirt for men, and a dress, skirt or pants and a blouse for women. Please no tank tops, swimsuits, swimsuit cover-ups, shorts, hats, cut-offs, torn clothing, t-shirts with offensive language and/or graphics, flip-flops or tennis shoes. Jeans cannot be worn at Remy; however, they may be worn at Palo if in good condition (no holes).
Themed Nights – On 7-night sailings and longer cruises, the ship offers themed nights—including a formal night—and you're encouraged to dress up and participate in the evening's festivities.
Check your Personal Navigator, which is delivered to your room daily, to find attire advice for each night's dinner. What Not To Pack Everyone onboard a Disney cruise must comply with specific safety guidelines mandated by U.S. Customs and Port Security. This includes not packing certain items. Please DO NOT bring:
Firearms and ammunition, any kind of knives, swords, daggers, bullwhips or any other types of weapons are not allowed on the ship under any circumstances. If you arrive with such items, you must surrender them to Port Security for the duration of your cruise and you can retrieve them when you return to port.
Homemade, precooked or other perishable items
Irons, bottle warmers, sporting equipment, balloons, candles, musical instruments, illegal drugs inclusive of medically prescribed and synthetic marijuana
Coolers, except for those carrying medications, baby food or items related to dietary constraints
