Milaandra Posted January 20, 2010 #2 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Absolutely not! The buffet or room service are "come as you are." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mehitabel Posted January 20, 2010 #3 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Gosh, no! Not much of a vacation if you're dressing in a way that makes you uncomfortable or is inconvenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimienta Posted January 20, 2010 #4 Share Posted January 20, 2010 On HAL, we dined in our stateroom every formal night. We had wine and lobster, and a very cozy romantic dinner for two in our PJ's. We had fun. Karen in Mexico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joand452 Posted January 20, 2010 #5 Share Posted January 20, 2010 DH rented a tux for the past two cruises (we cruised with friends) -- we're going casual this time and will eat in the buffet (or maybe room service) this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted January 20, 2010 #6 Share Posted January 20, 2010 On RCCL you can eat in the speciality restaurants and not wear formal attire on Formal Nights. Shak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GORDONCHICK Posted January 20, 2010 #7 Share Posted January 20, 2010 No, but it sure is fun, and some fo the best food is served in the dining rooms those nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelle1836 Posted January 20, 2010 #8 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Nope you do not have to 'go to formal night" it is your cruise and do what you want to have the best time for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honneerider Posted January 20, 2010 #9 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Just got our airline tickets and some info from the group coordinating our trip. I had assumed my son would not be bringing a jacket etc. There was a note for Jason to bring a blazer for formal night, as the food is too good to miss. I was going to bring black wool crepe pants and a ss black cashmere sweater, rather than a short black dress. Hope these will be OK? RCCL Grandeur Feb 1.

Soxfan05 Posted January 21, 2010 #10 Share Posted January 21, 2010 We skipped the formal night that served lobster and went to the specialty restaurant instead. It was the easiest night to get reservations and to be honest, none of us are fans of cruise ship lobster. We figured our indifference allowed others to indulge and have 2nds. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be beautiful in the pants and sweater. You will see lots of ladies wearing pants. The jacket is fine for Jason, too. Both of you will be well dressed, go and enjoy your evening. You would even be comfortable if you wore the same thing every evening. It's smart to pack light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
