When are formal nights?

Sailing on the Caribbean Princess on 11/8 & 11/15. How do you find out in advance when the formal nights are?

They are usually the first and 3rd sea days. They are never the last night out.

You can't find out for sure in advance (we can make educated guesses based on the itinerary, but that's really all they are -- for a 7-dayer, usually the day after embarkation and the second to last night of the cruise); however, you can find out when you get aboard as you'll find in your cabin a Planner for the entire cruise which will list the dress code and entertainment for each evening, so you'll be able to see at a glance what nights are formal. Hope this helps.

I'm surprised they would have two formal night on a 7-night cruise. When I was on the Emerald last spring, a 10-nite cruise, there were two formal nights.

2- 6 days .. 1 formal night

7 - 13 days .. 2 formal nights

14 - 20 days .. 3 formal nights

21 - 28 days .. 4 formal nights

29+ days .. 5 formal nights

You should know that the formal night can change. We were on the Sapphire southbound from Alaska about 3 weeks ago in a 7 day cruise and the second formal night was changed mid-cruise to a day earlier than originally scheduled.

2- 6 days .. 1 formal night

7 - 13 days .. 2 formal nights

14 - 20 days .. 3 formal nights

21 - 28 days .. 4 formal nights

29+ days .. 5 formal nights

So it appears I'll have three formal nights on my 15-day cruise from FLL to SFO next spring.
