Can you wear jeans on a cruise?

If you're comfortable wearing jeans, not to worry as many cruise lines permit wearing jeans in the dining room and restaurants most nights of the cruise. Make sure that your jeans are without holes, even if it's the style. As a rule of thumb, stick with dark jeans for a more elegant look.
