Regent Seven Seas Cruises is making some changes to its dress code.

The luxury cruise line explained the new policy in an email to guests, according to MarketWatch.

Moving forward, travelers can wear “refined denim” and “dress sneakers” after 6 p.m. as part of the line’s new “elegant casual” evening dress code.

Jeans must not be torn or distressed, while sneakers must be clean, in good condition and in a neutral or classic color. T-shirts, baseball caps, shorts, athletic shoes, flip flops and bathrobes are not permitted in any social spaces after 6 p.m.

Guests can also continue to wear more formal clothing, including gowns, cocktail dresses, tuxedos, dinner jackets or dark suits with a tie.

Some passengers are rejoicing at the update, while others are disappointed—like Dana Newbauer, a Regent Seven Seas Cruises customer based in Pennsylvania. He tells MarketWatch that he likes to have “that fantasy James Bond-type moment and enjoy a nice dinner in the company of people who are dressed the same way.”
