Caribbean Formal Night

[Treacher1]

Sailing in January on Grandeur - there will be 2 formal nights. Can I wear a dress shirt and tie - really don't want to wear a suit or a sport coat. Hoping to make packing easier and more comfortable dress after days at the beach. Please advise - thanks! Or must I wear a jacket to get into MDR - seems this varies by ship.

Yes, you certainly can. You will also see men with no ties happily enjoying their dinner in the MDR. No shorts or t shirts allowed, but I've seen everything in between on Formal nights.

No more formal nights on Celebrity after December, wonder how long before it happens on Royal?

Hubby has been wearing slacks & box tailed buttoned down shirts for years. No tie, no jacket, no issue.

That's completely fine. I was actually a bit disappointed that dress codes weren't enforced on the Oasis on my trip last month. I saw so many men (and women) totally disregard formal night and wear clothing they'd casually run out to the store in. :confused:

Yes. You can. But my method is a bit different. I drop the tie for comfort and then wear a nice blue blazer or a dark sports coat. Either way, enjoy your cruise. After dinner, I shed the coat! ;)

Totally agree, rccl sometimes enforces dress code but mostly lets people ignore them.

RCCL mostly ignores the formal night dress codes in the MDR.
