Short shorts can be worn on three occasions: if you’re taking a sunbathing session by the pool deck, straining to the fitness center to work out your glute muscles, or rushing to the poolside buffet for a snack. And that’s it.
Things are even stricter with swimwear. They are only suitable for swimming areas.

When the sun is at its zenith.

You’ll pass for your own person if you wear promenade shorts (at least mid-thigh length), good cut jeans, shirts, polo shirts or light sundresses in the interior of the liner.
Bathing suits (pool and sunbathing areas), shorts (including shorts), T-shirts, T-shirts, light skirts and dresses are acceptable on the open decks.

Onshore

If you are going on a field trip where you have to move around a lot, whether it be kayaking, trekking, or snorkeling, choose low-key casual style.
If your goal is to attend a sightseeing city tour, feel free to dress in classics or pieces that are noted in your daytime closet.

At the restaurant…

Cruise companies set a daily dress code for the evening – casual wear, casual leisure wear, informal or formal styles. Restrictions come into play in interiors and restaurants after 6 p.m.
If your cruise is 7 days long, you’ll have two formal evenings, a couple of casual options, and two to four semi-formal evenings.
To find out what style of dress to prefer today, read the specialized daily cruise newspaper.
For all but formal evenings (as well as casual on higher-class ships), resort casual style is the standard dress code.
Your casual attire does not have to be pure silk, it is enough to be neat and well tailored. Light fabric dresses, combinations of pantsuits and tops, mid-length skirts and short-sleeved blouses will be appropriate in any situation on board.
