    How dressy does everyone get at dinner? Reservation restaurants vs. buffet? Want to make sure we pack enough, but not too much.

    There is a minimum dress code in the restaurants which is not hard to comply with. The rest is up to you and how you want your vacation to be. Most people dress to impress for dinners as the restaurants try to have a dark and romantic feel. Others are casual and hit the minimum standards. Doesn't make a difference, it's all about your attitude and the company you keep and the friends you are making!!! Enjoy, just be yourself and you will very comfortable.

    You will see lots of shorts & t-shirts at dinner - even the reservation restaurants.

    While there is a dress code listed, its not followed strictly. They want men to be in a sleeved shirt - no tank-tops. Sandals, flip-flops, shorts, t-shirts were all OK.

    Many do dress up, many do not. Remember its really hot & humid and the ages range from 21 - 70.

    This is completely hit and miss. Most times we have been men with sandals or any type of open toed shoes have not been allowed in the reservation restaurants so be prepared if you want to eat at one of them.

    it's good for the ladies to but on a sexy dress that they would never wear out at home and for the guys a nice dress shirt and pants, if your lady is getting dolled up u should also look good for her.

    I know I am NOT bringing Reg's dress shoes anymore. They take up to much weight

    True , don't think you will get into Italian or Asain wearing shorts or sandles

    Have never seen shorts,, not really looking at feet

    they may slack-en off (punn) during the hot summer months

    I think we've been booted from each restaurant due to wardrobe. Buffet usually lets you get away with anything...
