Answer: Since dinner cruises in New York are considered more upscale and elegant, most cruise companies do apply some form of dress code. It is important to note that these rules are not overly strict, and you will not go through a formal inspection before boarding. However, guests are generally expected to arrive dressed in at least a semi formal style.

This means you do not need to wear a tuxedo or an evening gown, but you are expected to avoid ripped jeans, flip flops, shorts, or clothing that looks too casual. Overall, if you arrive in neat, regular attire, there is no real reason to worry.
