Dress Code on QM2 for ladies

Cocktail Dresses are mentioned for formal dining but I would like to know if smart black trousers with appropriate evening tops would be allowable? Can anyone help who has recently sailed on QM2?

I've plucked this photograph from my cruise blog just for you Tilly...

It was taken at the World Club Cocktail Party two months ago.

Hey hey, that would definitely be appropriate.

I mostly wore dresses but a smart pair of trousers is just as good!

If you wanna see what I wore here ya go: http://cruisingisntjustforoldpeople.co.uk/2016/11/08/cunard-dress-code-what-to-wear/ :)

Have a fabulous time! I found the whole thing to be really fancy... the informal nights were more formal than I'd ever dress in my normal life but I still had a really good time :)

Thank you to the two people who quickly responded to my question, feel happier now about what to pack!

There is that word again "Smart" as in "Smart Trousers or Smart Casual" Can someone explain to me the difference between "Smart and Stupid" trousers or casual wear?

So if I wear long gowns on formal nights will I have company. I enjoy dressing up and don't, personally, consider a cocktail dress or dress pants to be formal. That's what I would wear on the not-formal nights. I feel like there are mixed messages about dress code and what people actually wear.

I always wear my long evening dresses on formal nights. I am never in the minority.

Absolutely - you will have lots of company.

Great...I'm looking forward to it. On Crystal it was lovely to see everyone truly formally dressed. Makes an occasion of a TA (in spite of the extra luggage required).

Yes. Agree with you. Don't the officers wear black tie on Formal nights?

Definitely looks informal to me too, especially if you look at the men sitting down.

Yes I would have thought the photo shows an informal dress code.I suspect there will be lots of long gowns. Anyway we'll have fun dressing up!

The only passengers in that photo are the couple in the middle...in case anyone was wondering...

Yes, but the Officer is not wearing the usual formal attire they wear - bow tie.

Good spot. Informal. Jackets only.
