rayandshirl Posted January 27, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 27, 2015 ;)Pam, you have cruise experience and information that I always find informative and helpful. I'm tempted to book a cruise on Cunard (the brochure price is terrific) but am hesitant with their after 6:00 pm attire rule that is strictly enforced. Have you sailed on the Cunard line and did you find the dress standard a bit cumbersome? Thank you Pam and to any other cruisers with Cunard sail time!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck Turgidson Posted January 28, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 28, 2015 We took a 36 day cruise out of L.A. to the South Pacific on the Cunard Queen Elizabeth a couple of years ago. I do not like wearing a suit, but I put up with it and it was no big deal . I would change back into comfy clothes after dinner. Occasionally I wore the suit after dinner, usually to the Churchill lounge for cigars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Working 2 Cruise Posted January 28, 2015 #3 Share Posted January 28, 2015 From what I understand, Cunard is much more formal than Princess. That's the main reason we haven't sailed with Cunard since my husband doesn't like to dress up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted January 28, 2015 #4 Share Posted January 28, 2015 They always have been, (way more formal then most cruiselines). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Pam and to any other cruisers with Cunard sail time!:) It is strictly enforced and no, I didn't find it cumbersome. I actually found it easier: six nights formalwear = throw 6 cocktail dresses in suitcase. Packing done! I always remain dressed for the entire evening even on Princess, so that part didn't bother me, either. Only you know what is cumbersome to you, though. I thought Cunard's formal nights were very much a different vibe than those on Princess; you probably will want to be dressed up and be part of the atmosphere since it is virtually the entire ship. I really enjoyed Cunard and I'd cruise them more often if I could find better pricing. If you found a deal, I say go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
