laurspag Posted December 15, 2017 #26 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I sail RCI all the time. You would definitely not be overdressed. That really looks perfect. I have always worn full length dresses. The only time I wore a shorter dress was for my 3 or 4 night cruises. In those instances I wore short formal dresses instead.

smoothdancer Posted December 17, 2017 #27 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Love that dress. I really don't think this is over the top at all. I would certainly wear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetMarie Posted January 7, 2018 #28 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I love the color! We still like to "dress up" when we cruise. You will probably feel overdressed, but there will definately be others dressed up as well. I really wish we could get back to the days where dinner on formal night was a gala event. But times have changed . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camlilia Posted January 22, 2018 #29 Share Posted January 22, 2018 It's perfect, not too extravagant but definitely stylistic and fashionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janie1229 Posted February 14, 2018 #30 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Thanks for the responses! As someone had asked, I will be on a 9 night Southern Caribbean itinerary. We have been on Royal before but skipped formal nights. I think I will take the chance and get it. :) I agree that it is better to be over dressed than under dressed in most situations. I love this dress! Do you mind sharing where you got it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hart10 Posted March 3, 2018 #32 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Perfect Dress, the colors of seas, sexy but not overly in your face, Perfect Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagsfan Posted March 3, 2018 #33 Share Posted March 3, 2018 My favorite thing on formal night is seeing all the lovely clothes. The color of this dress is stunning! Someone mentioned asking your dry cleaner for a long bag. Ask for two, and slide the second one up from the bottom. That will contain any glitter and protect the gown from any wrinkling. I know it didn’t come wrinkled, but it wasn’t packed in a suitcase. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbelc Posted March 4, 2018 #34 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I think it’s beautiful and totally appropriate for formal night. Make sure you walk a while in the shoes you choose. I wear flats on cruises so I don’t break an ankle if the ship rocks. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbelc Posted March 4, 2018 #35 Share Posted March 4, 2018 You could pack it in a plastic garment bag such as the bag that clothes are bagged in from high end clothing stores. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poodleleena Posted March 5, 2018 #36 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Beautiful dress. Very appropriate for a cruise. You will look gorgeous. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanneMarie1956 Posted March 18, 2018 #37 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I know to each their own, but we love dressing up on cruises. We dress very nice every night for dinner, with a tux and evening gown on formal nights. I think that's part of the charm of cruising for me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We love to dress up as well but haven't been on a cruise in 8 years. Last time DH wore his tux. Celebrity has done away with formal night. We have really been debating dressing up for our June Carribean cruise. I would love to buy a gown to wear. DH would love the tux. And our 12 year old really likes dressing up too...so maybe we will just go for it!!!:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulip2010 Posted March 18, 2018 #39 Share Posted March 18, 2018 And Hangry, the dress is gorgeous!!! I agree with trying to find a tailor. I don't think it's too much at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam49 Posted May 6, 2018 #43 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Wow lovely dress and really nice colour. Please dress up for your cruise; one of the things I enjoy in the evening is looking at all of the lovely dresses. It seems such a shame when people go into the MDR wearing jeans or other casual clothes that you could wear anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aungrl Posted June 2, 2018 #45 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Hi! I am wondering if this dress will be appropriate for a formal night on Royal Caribbean or if I am going to feel way overdressed? I would totally wear this. It doesn’t “read” all that formal to me. Dressy, for sure, but not super formal. You’ll stand out but in a good way. Lots of people will be more casual, but many will be more “traditionally” formally dressed. This is a great in-between look, in my opinion.
