how many formal nights on Eclipse 7-nighter?

Recommended Posts

Two, most likely on the second and sixth evenings.

 

lvcruiser is correct that the formal nights are usually the second and sixth nights of a seven day cruise (since those are normally sea days). However, we just returned from a seven night Equinox sailing where the formal nights were on days three and five due to the itinerary. So best to check, but definitely two formal nights on a seven night sailing.

 

Here's the schedule off X's website:

Thanks to all who replied. Ifni, we are together on Eclipse for Thanksgiving.

 

I'm trying to decide which nights to pre-book for Qsine and Murano. I love the formal nights, so don't want to miss one in MDR. Since we are early seating, maybe booking the port days and getting a later seating time would work best.

 

Day two is a sea day, so for sure will be the first formal night. On this itinerary day 5 and 6 are also sea days, day 5 being Thanksgiving. Maybe they will have the second formal night for Turkey-day. As one of our roll call members said, "Pass the gravy, please."

Liz,

 

Night six is actually at sea and night 5 is in St. Maarten, so I can pretty well guess that the 2nd formal night will be Thursday Nov 25....Thanksgiving! We will gtet to dress up for Thanksgiving!
