Short cruises, formal evenings?

[SeaSickGill]

Hi

I've booked a 3 night cruise on the Arcadia, will there be a formal evening? Any help would be appreciated

If anything, the formal evenings have been glitzier and more glamorous on the short cruises (< 7 nights) than on longer cruises. There tends to be a younger age-group, and (at least on the ones we did), they seem to be up for making an occasion of it.

I`ve done 2x 2night cruises - One on Ventura and the other one on Azura

 

First night is smart casual and the 2nd night is formal, always nice (in my opinion) to see people all dressed up !!

I was going to say of the 2 2 day ones we have done people seemed to make the most of the chance to dress up to the 9s.. When we did the Aurora one in Nov once there were proper ball gowns/structured long dresses aplenty....

There is definitely a formal night. You do see some fabulous gowns. If some one has invested in one for a special occasion, formal night on a cruise is the ideal opportunity to wear it again.

 

Don't panic if you don't have one. A cocktail dress or maybe black trousers with a lovely top is also the norm. Slap on the slap, chuck some bling on and you're good to go.

 

I've often borrowed off friends and a few of my outfits have gone on holiday without me.

 

Have a great time!

 

Edit. Duh! Just noticed you've cruised before, so you know how formal nights go. Yep. There will be one Formal

Thanks everyone, I thought there would be but didn't want to drag along the suit bag unnecessarily! :D
