How Many Formal Nights On A 4 Night Cruise?

We are going to be in Vancouver, BC in the first part of May, 2015, and while there decided to do the little 4 day Alaska sampler cruise on the Coral because it gives us an entire day in Ketchikan. Our Cruise Personalizer indicates 1 formal night and 3 resort casual nights for that cruise. Based on our Personalizer, it might not be accurate to make a blanket statement that there are NO formal nights on any 4 night cruise. A statement such as "usually not" might be more accurate.

I don't believe a 3 or 4 nighter has a formal night.

I'm not sure about the accuracy of the Personalizer this far in advance so I recommend paying close attention to the series of informational emails (from the Captain, the Cruise Director, etc.) sent a few weeks before the cruise that will have the definitive information: "There are (insert number; if none it will read "0") formal nights."

Our 4-night cruise had "dress to impress" nights but no formal nights. The FAQ on the Princess website lists "0" for the number of formal nights on cruises 1-4 nights long.

 

Same here. No formal but a dress to impress. I've been on 4-nighters for the past 4 years, as a b2b before or after the repo cruise, and have never had a formal night. So, 'in my personal experience', 4-nighters don't have formal nights.

I'm also booked on that same 4 night Alaska Sampler and it stated one formal night but I can't seem to find out which night it is. ( May 3rd?) Yet the FAQ does state 0 formals. I guess because it is a "sampler" they want to show off the experience of a formal night as well.

Either the second or third night.

Back in 2013 we were on a 4 day "sampler" that was turned into a cruise for veterans. They had one formal night scheduled but then announced there would be no formal night. But there was such a big protest that they restored the formal night.

 

The formal night was the first sea day after embarkation
