Formal Night on 4 day cruise?

[Whippets]

We are first time Princess cruisers and going on the Halloween Emerald Princess cruise. Just wondering if I need to pack the dress clothes?

October 29-November 1st

One less thing to pack!

No formal nights on Princess 4 Day cruises.

Have a fun time Halloween! :)

On the 4 night cruises, they have one night designated as "Dress to impress"... Many people have their pictures taken that night and for the most part it is a wee bit dressier than smart casual nights......

The Princess policy on formal nights based on the length of the cruise is in FAQ: DINING & NIGHTLIFE under to heading Formal Nights. According to this information, a cruise of 1 - 4 Days has no formal evenings.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I shall pack my Halloween costume!

I saw this for the first time on a four-nighter last month on the Ruby. My pre-cruise info said smart casual for all four nights, so I imagine some would have packed dressier clothes if they had known. Others wore shorts and t-shirts nevertheless :(.

Yes, there is one formal night on a 5 day. The other four are smart casual.

 

On a 4 day all four nights are smart casual.

Princess doesn't have "dress to impress", right?

Wrong, they do one evening on four day cruises. However, "smart casual" is acceptable attire that evening.

THANK YOU for the "Heads Up." I shall make sure to pack a shimmery short sleeved top I can wear with my Business standard Embarkation jacket and orange skirt. I also have a gold and black shimmery blouse I could wear as a light jacket.

 

I'll only be taking brown and orange toned skirts-would I get away with wearing the gold and black blouse with the orange skirt if I need to "dress up" a bit please? No fashionista here, comfortable's the preferred style!

 

I HAVE finally improved my colour co-ordination skills-shades of 1 colour keep me on the straight and narrow. It's adding a contrasting colour that has me out of my comfort zone! And likely to make a mistake with a clashing colour!

 

The friend who originally passed the information about the Window Suite to me, also advised, "Dress for Embarkation as if you were going to a Board Meeting, you are in a Suite, and your suede jacket will go over that beige and natural skirt with a beige top and look really well "put together" even though everything was bought separately, it does blend successfully." Make up's not a problem-brown eye shadows, gold blusher and assorted orange variations of lipstick samples to ring the changes. I did get an eye shadow palette with an orange tone eyeshadow, must check if I have a gold eye shadow I could take." Yes I DO! Found an eye shadow pencil and there's a magnifying mirror in the bathroom so should be right! :D
