lindabodrum Posted January 28, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Other than dressing up in ones finery, what is the formal night on MSC. Is anything out of the norm going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CASPALL Posted January 28, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 28, 2016 It's Gala night on MSC. 2 on a 7 night cruise. The menu will be a bit nicer. Nothing really that special at all happens, except for that wonderful cocktail party! There might be a masked ball too. White night and Italian night also have entertainment crew dressed up ridiculously at the themed party. All harmless fun and you don't have to participate - plenty of other venues.

t_car Posted January 28, 2016 #4 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Read the review of the Dec 5th sailing that Tracey/Thom posted on this page. Great review and covers the formal nights and theme nights in more detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmoMondo Posted January 28, 2016 #5 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Other than dressing up in ones finery, what is the formal night on MSC. Is anything out of the norm going on. They have a flaming baked Alaska parade on the farewell gala. Some of my favourites from the formal dinner are the beef in Barolo, spinach & ricotta crepe, Spumante risotto. They also give you a free glass of fizz at the last one, or at least they used to. Italian night is good fun and you get a tiramisu parade at that one. Very good it is but not as alcholic as by Mary BErry version, but then I don't have to stand in a kitchen for 2 hours making it and cleaning up!

Irishman45 Posted January 30, 2016 #7 Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) Just don't be surprised if some aren't as formal as you might expect. Edited January 30, 2016 by Irishman45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindabodrum Posted January 31, 2016 Author #8 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Less is better for me. I will be up in the galaxy dancing and easier in a cocktail dress rather than long gown .plus as we are flying, space in our case is limited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmoMondo Posted January 31, 2016 #9 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I don't think that Irishman meant cocktail dress versus formal long gown, but rather some completely scruffy! I remember one guy in a baseball cal, wife beater, shorts and flipflops (and there may well have Benin sand sticking to him) eye me up and down in my gown and bling and then ask if I'd been invited to a party. I said no it was a gala dinner....I'm fairly sure despite their lack attitude, he would have been turned away being quite that casual, but who kniws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
