Pensioncruiser Posted September 19, 2016 #2 Share Posted September 19, 2016 You will find that it's about a 50/50 split but if you wish to dine in the Orion smart dress is required and a tie on formal night. We have been on seven Caribbean cruise with Thomson and I always take my DJ and you will also see Scots in full dress 😁 Sent from my b1-720 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy W Posted September 20, 2016 #4 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Most people do make an effort on formal night, I dont take a suit anymore, just wear a shirt and tie but it is not compulsory, many men dont even wear ties and I have seen some in jeans.

muffinman1 Posted September 21, 2016 #5 Share Posted September 21, 2016 You don't need a penguin suit or any other suit for dinner, even captains night,men need to be a bit smart dressed, I mean no jeans with holes all over them, or silly t shirts or Rab c nissbet simmets lol, when I went the Caribbean cruise last year on dream , well I'm a Scot so I took full dress, but wasn't needed, going on spirit this weekend and only taking a shirt and tie for captains night, might not even wear the tie,depends how I feel, have a great time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pensioncruiser Posted September 21, 2016 #6 Share Posted September 21, 2016 That's a shame muffinman1 it's always great to see a Scot in full regalia and I'm certain you feel great, I can understand some people don't like the full formal but no way would I dress 'up' if I felt uncomfortable, I do it for me & mrs PC not others, think that's one of the good things about Thomson we all fit in Sent from my VF-895N using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyDayz69 Posted September 22, 2016 Author #7 Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) Thanks for your input, Pensioncruiser & Muffinman1, we were wanting to dress up as we think it would be good to do but don't want to end up looking like a dogs dinner when everyone else is in casuals and also don't want to use our luggage allowance for things we are not going to use. May try and find others on here that are doing the same cruise as us and see what they are doing. Thanks again.

all-afloaty Posted October 24, 2016 #9 Share Posted October 24, 2016 We are on Pride of Panama in March. We have been on Dream a few times before but this is our first time to the Caribbean. We always dress up in the evening so you won't be the only 'dogs dinners' lol. Just go and enjoy - it's each to their own really.

11057 Posted October 25, 2016 #10 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Have been on many Thomson cruises, we always dress up for formal nights ( three in Caribbean) and have found that we are in the majority. Can't understand why people do not wish to do it. Never get dressed up at home so it's good to see that I can still scrub up well.

11057 Posted February 14, 2017 #20 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Just returned yesterday from two weeks in the Caribbean on Discovery on back-to-back cruise. Men wearing DJs or suits were in the majority think I would've felt out of place in shirtsleeves. It's great to dress up and feel good. You will have a fantastic time.

cruzinchad Posted February 14, 2017 #21 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I'm on the Dream Caribbean cruise in April & I've asked when the formal nights are in another post. My partner wants to get her hair done. I'm looking forward to getting the tux out only time I get chance to dress up. Other than thatI'll be wearing shirt and tie some evenings again only cos I can.
