Black for me is the most formal, the others are great too. Suggest you pick what makes you feel good.

Welcome to CC.

Very hard to answer without more information. What cruise line? Some are more formal than others.

Most cruiseline use a suggestion of cocktail dress, but that is also just a suggestion. Wear the dress that you like and are more comfortable wearing - you will see all types of dresses.

OP has started thee threads in rapid succession on this board. None of which give the name of the ship, or even the cruise line, they are taking.

Please do so so you can be directed to the appropriate line-specific board where better, more specific answers can be found.

Likely Serenade of the Seas TA August 26, 2017 from Copenhagen to Boston,

If your on the TA to Boston you will have three formal nights, bring both, then you only have to worry about which one to wear twice..

Keep in mind .... RCCL isn't as formal as it once was.

I'd take the black & white striped one.

It's almost impossible to answer questions that vary across cruise lines without knowing which ship you're on. And "formal night" varies tremendously.

Try asking this on your cruise line's forum. Or on the Cruise Fashion forum: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=182

Wear the one that packs the best, wrinkles the least. EM

You might want to ask on the RCI board.

I would think that some dresses look more formal then others and that color is not the main reason; likely the look of the dress.

If you have photos of them I have seen people post them to get feedback.

Either would be fine, you would fit right in.

On our RCCL cruise last month they allowed people in the MDR on formal night in anything. Many men in open necked shirts and trousers, and some even in jeans and polo shirts.

Why bother with a dress code at all. It was not enforced.

The standard of dress was higher in the specialty restaurants at all times.

Fiord Maiden - on RCCL there is no dress code, other than no shorts in the MDR on an evening, and the usual no bare feet, swimsuits, etc. in eating locations.

This is a very controversial point on the RC boards. Cruising has definitely become more casual over the years.

The evening dress code is listed as a "suggestion " for each evening - you cannot enforce a suggestion. Formal attire is not required.

If your cruise has 2 formal nights, bring all 3 and wear the least formal one on a smart casual night. Or bring a tie dye scarf/wrap and wear the pink one on 70s night. Have fun and feel good in whatever you wear.

Yes, and even then we are reading of people in the MDR in shorts. It has become a casual cruise line where you can dress up if you want to.

It has become a casual world where one can dress up if they want to. :) The days for formal on cruise ships have gone, for the most part.

Really depends on the dress, it's "cut", length, and material. A sparkly black dress made of t-shirt material is hardly "formal"....post some photos!!!

Unfortunately I misunderstood their website which is full of 'suggestions' for what I should take to wear. Won't make THAT mistake again. [emoji19]

My thoughts exactly! How is anyone answering this question based solely on a color? :confused::o:rolleyes:

Wear whatever makes you feel like a million and don’t worry about what others may/may not do.
