nb125 Posted January 20, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Which would you say would be the majority, long gowns or short cocktail dresses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coravel Posted January 20, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Long gowns in my experience but it really doesn't matter as long as you feel comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nb125 Posted January 20, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Thanks, we have not cruised with Fred before and I hate to feel out of place so just want to get it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby67 Posted January 20, 2015 #4 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I wear both, and feel comfortable in either. Evening trousers and a nice top are acceptable too. Wear what suits you. Carolyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammy Bun Posted January 20, 2015 #5 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I no longer take a long dress on cruises - always wear cocktail dresses or evening trousers. And I would have said that long dresses were in the minority, but see that a previous respondent thinks otherwise. There's a mixture of everything... don't worry about it, wear whatever you prefer. No-one will care, so long as you're clean and tidy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosiepea Posted February 18, 2015 #7 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Have been on all Olsen ships and seen very few proper formal gowns. I use evening trousers and a few shiny tops which gets me through several formal evenings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1160451 Posted February 18, 2015 #8 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Both, but we would say cocktail dresses. Find ladies can carry anything nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_T Posted February 18, 2015 #9 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Both, but we would say cocktail dresses.Find ladies can carry anything nowadays. I would agree. You do still see a few formal gowns but they are very much the exception. A lot more are favoring cocktail dresses and trouser suits for sheer practicality these days.
