Which nights are formal for SB Alaska

[emeltee]

We'll be sailing on the Sapphire next July. Trying to figure out dining for my group of 9, who are all decidedly non-formal people!

 

Nights 1-3 are Anchorage, Hubbard, GB

Nights 3-6 are Skagway, Juneau, Ketchikan

Night 7 is a sea day

 

I've read that cruiselines usually don't do formal nights on the last night. So, would the formal nights be only in the beginning of the cruise? 1-3?

 

Which rooms follow formal nights? Obviously the MDR - both traditional & anytime dining. How about specialty? Horizon Court - that's the buffet, right - I'm assuming no formal nights. The IC - no formal nights as well, right?

 

Thanks again!

Well, the IC isn't really dining.

Normally specialty restaurants don't follow.

In terms of when they are, normally on sea days, but not the last. If there are no sea days, look for days with early departures.

On our 7 night southbound, the formal evenings were Hubbard day and Juneau day.
