Best to ask this on the Royal Caribbean board, under Cruise Lines P-Z. EM

It's fine. You will see others dressed as you have described.

Very appropriate.

 

You just might be overdressed.

I'm really surprised to see that on the Med cruises people are saying it's less formal. We're planning our first cruise to the Med and were worried we needed to dress more formally on a Med cruise than caribbean. What's the norm (most prevalent) you see on casual and formal night on Med cruise? We will be on Navigator.

You won't be "overdressed" but you will be fine.

I think you will find Med cruises a bit less formal. Has to do I think with most Med cruises being so port intensive with fewer sea days on average and rising air line luggage charges.

Not exactly sure why they bother even calling it "Formal" night. About 50% (numbers are shrinking) actually show up in formal attire and the rest is come as you are or redefine to your own view of what formal is. Might as well be on NCL.

We've only cruised the Med once a couple years ago, but we found it a bit more formal than other cruises. The men in our party rented tuxes onboard to save packing space and it seemed many others did the same.
