How can you dress for breakfast and lunch in the main dining room. Are jeans ok for these times.

Yes. Just be a little more dressed up for dinner each night. Slacks and button down shirt will fit the bill on the non formal or semi formal nights.

You also can wear shorts and a shirt, for breakfast and lunch main dining room, but no bathing suits allowed.

Some people do wear shorts to the dining, however on our last 3 Celebrity cruises they posted the dress code for the dining room and it said no. In the daily listing for attire and in the section listing the hours for each meal time, it stated no jeans, shorts or tank top allowed in dining room at anytime as well as swim wear of course. That doesn't mean eveyone followed it, but that's what they wrote.

Just before sailing on Millie 2/22, I was talking to my dry cleaner who had just returned from a Celebrity cruise. It was his first Celebrity cruise. He told me that he had been asked to leave the main dining room because he was wearing a tank top and shorts. Knowing this man and his meticulous appearance, this really surprised me. We enjoyed breakfast on two occassions in the main dining room but never noticed people being turned away for in appropriate attire. Most were in regular shorts or slacks with t-shirts or polo shirts or ladies in casual tropical outfits like capris, shorts or pants with coordinating tops.

I wish they would eliminate the Informal wear request. Cruisers on Celebrity would be happier.

Nanatravel,
I agree, I don't see anything wrong with wearing shorts to the dining room for breakfast and lunch.Who wants to keep going back to their cabin to change, or wear slacks all day in the Caribbean.

If you find it too troublesome to change into something other than shorts and tank tops for the dining room for breakfast and lunch you can still eat well in the ship's casual dining venue. I agree that it "is your vacation" but I also know human nature. If you lower a standard, some people will still feel they are being restricted. On one cruise, there was a woman who regularly wandered the halls in her PJs and bunny slippers with a cigarette dangling from her lips and big pinck curlers in her hair! Yes, she has a right to be "free" but the other pax have rights too, and one of them is not having to see other pax in various forms of undress. On another cruise, two guys showed up for dinner wearing musclemen shirts and really tight short shorts (ok ok, maybe looking at them was not so awful -- hee hee) but they were turned away and most passengers agreed rightly so.
