I am not sure if you are asking when the formal nights are, because the menus are usually really good on those nights in the main dining room.

The formal nights on our Western cruise were on Day 2 and Day 5. I would also suggest that you book your shows first so that you know the times that you have to be out of the dining room Some of the specialty dining venues suggest that you allow 3 hours for the experience. You don't want to rush through a special dinner just to get to a show and you have to be at the show at least 15 minutes before hand because 10 minutes before each show they open it up to the people waiting in the stand-by lines.

I have downloaded the menu's Sharktums provided in the TPR review. All but Day 1 are there. They were on a western itinerary in February.

Coincidentally, I just posted the same question pretty much! My cruise is Western itinerary as well, and I just want to see what selections are on the "other than formal" nights, as some of those we don't want to miss either, but I really want my mother to try 150 Central Park. Did it on Oasis in December and I loved it!!

Days 6 and 7 were reversed on western Allure when I sailed.
