Formal Wear, evening dress

[Mariarose38]

Can any one please tell me what the dress code is in the MSC Divina, for dinner including the formal nights.

 

We will be doing a 14 night in March 2014 and the reviews seemed not to include this information.

 

PLease help Very confused first timer?

Your subject grabbed me but then I realised you are a lady and sailing on the Davina so I am not qualified to answer.

 

And you ask such difficult questions.

 

I hope those more qualified than I will be along here shortly to give answers.

 

All I would say is dress for the occasion you want it to be. Let others follow you.

I'm not sailing the Divina so not sure if there is a difference in what people are doing on that particularly sailing. But normally you'll have 4 formal nights in 2 weeks. I'm assuming you're on 2 back to back cruises rather than one 14 night? There will also be an Italian night each week (red, white and green) and a white party. It's up to you whether you bother with the red, green, white thing or white party - I never do but do dress for formal evenings. Sometimes I wear a long gown but I'm in the minority, sometimes a cocktail dress (far more common).

 

Hopefully someone just returned from the Divina will assist you with what is being experienced onboard on the US sailing.

Oh thank you, I wasn't sure about the other nights (Italian and white party) I think I'll see what space there is in my case before I decide to pack to include those two. I wasn't to sure if long dress would look out of place, but I think I'm just going to go with the longer ones (as I look better in them I think)

You are very welcome. Nice to be thinking of packing cruise clothes rather what it's doing outside. I love wearing long dresses and whilst I may not be in the majority, I don't feel out of place. A plus is the crew appreciate it and fuss over you a bit more!
