Dressing for dinner and formal nights in Alaska

[mes531]

Are you taking the September 8th Voyage of the Glaciers with Glacier Bay (Southbound)

Diamond Princess from Anchorage (Whittier), Alaska to Vancouver?

 

We will be on that ship also.

We are on the Coral southbound - to Vancouver on the 8th..We will wave!:):)

Just got off Celebrity Millennium and I was surprised by the number of tuxes and gowns on formal night. We dined in Blu which does not have a formal dress code and probably 60% still were in suits or tuxes. The rest were like my husband and wearing a nice button down dress shirt and dress slacks. I wore a long black skirt and sparkly top. We did not see anyone else more casually dressed than that.

I'm hoping we do not have to have more 'formal wear'

 

will be on the diamond princess next June 2013

 

with all I have to pack, i do not plan on formal wear, and I know DH will not. He will probably have nice jeans and a button-down shirt.

 

maybe I will bring one dress.

 

guess I will have to look into it more... I just figured Alaska to be more casual.

 

We were on the Ruby last February, and the maitre D literally did not allow men in the dining room without a suit.

 

At least I have time to research this....

Good thing I decided to check - we sail out of Whittier on the 10th....but we'll still wave! :)

 

As to the dressy part...Pack light, a pair of silky black pants and several tops...easy...You can look great...throw in a scarf and dangle earrings.....:):)
