The CB is just OK....some problems since it an older ship but it's still nice.

Why don't you take a look at the newer Royal since it will also be in the Caribbean? It has some feature we don't really love but it's still a much nicer ship.

I think it's such a shame, I don't mean that everyone has to be done up to the nines, but surely a little effort to 'dress up' for formal night isn't too much to ask.

 

I think it's sad that people can't join in or dine somewhere else on those particular evenings.

It is for some people since they feel they've paid for their vacation as well as everyone else and they definitely want the dining room food- which is better most of the time.

Hi, we are going on our first ever cruise, The Coral Princess, Panama Canal full transit on November 7th 2015 and I'm mega excited. We'll be celebrating our 30th Anniversary so want to push the boat out (no pun intended!)

 

Now, I can't wait to enjoy the three formal nights but how can I find out when they will be? Are they always on sea says? The reason I ask us because of booking salon sessions - would be great to be pampered before getting all glammed up but if we wait until we're on board won't the best slots be booked out?

 

Also, do people really get dressed to the nines or do the just 'make a bit more of an effort'?

 

Please advise this over excited newbie before my computer self combusts while I look for answers! Lol

Most times the formal evenings are scheduled for sea days unless it's a port intensive cruise.

Most people just dress up for the dining room but not to the extent of tux's & long gowns....but still there are those people who don't dress up & still get into the DR.
