formal night

[alexney]

On our last cruise I wore a black dress on formal night. I don't want to go and purchase dresses for the the nights on our upcoming cruise. Do women wear skirts and nice tops on formal nights? Would I fit in or be looked at as not dressy enough?

You will be fine.

You will find most all combinations of dress, from very formal down

to ...almost against dress code. (and possibly worse)

Dresses, skirts pants, even noticed a lot of capri's

Just look nice and you will be fine.

There is no more "Formal Night."

 

It has been renamed "Cruise Elegant Night," and it is a train wreck.

 

Basically anything goes, as Carnival does not seem to care.

Almost anything is fine for the elegant night. Dresses, slacks and blouse. You name it.

Tef, not that I disagree, but you say this same phrase over and over again on these boards. Maybe you should make it part of your signature. ;):)

You can wear the same dress you wore on your last cruise!

You can also wear a skirt or slacks with a fancy top.

Whatever you want to wear will be fine!

Remember it is YOUR vacation!

To the OP yes skirt and a nice top is appropriatte attire

 

I dont care about how others dont honor the recommendations set forth by Ccl....... That is there choice. BUT.........

I will be in my suit and tie and the GF will be in a nice dress. While we arnt as formal as we use to be. Its still dressing up and looking nice.

And Im sure that means we will be standing in line taking cruise photos that im going to have to talk her out of buying.:D

Its just all part of cruising

Wear your black dress and pair it with a different shoe and accesories.

This is pretty funny, but so true from what I've seen.

Most people were dressed "elegantly" on our elegant night, some were more casual and then just a few were in t's and jeans.

The t's and jeans folks were teens and their parents were dressed a little more appropriately, but not much.
