Cunard has formal, semi-formal, and elegant casual dress codes throughout its public areas in the evening. For men, formal attire consists of black ties or formal dark suits, while semiformal attire requires jackets and ties. Elegant casual attire means jackets (ties optional) for men. Women should wear evening dresses for formal occasions, cocktail dresses or pantsuits for semiformal, and dresses, skirts, or trousers for elegant casual.
A seven-night cruise with Cunard typically includes three formal, two semiformal, and two elegant casual evenings. However, guests are welcome to opt for casual clothing in the King's Court on Queen Mary 2 and in the Lido Restaurant on Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth every evening.
To maintain the elegance of the dining experience, shorts, and swimsuits are not permitted in the main restaurants aboard Cunard's ships.
