Steelboat Posted September 25, 2016 #1 Share Posted September 25, 2016 We have booked a 9 night Caribbean cruise on the Wind, departing FT. Lauderdale on December 12. Does anyone know how many formal nights we should plan for, and what nights might they occur? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stumblefoot Posted September 25, 2016 #2 Share Posted September 25, 2016 You will have one formal night during your 9-night voyage. If you login into my.silversea.com, you will see which night is planned as your formal night. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capri73 Posted September 26, 2016 #3 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Do not worry too much about formal night.We just got off the Wind for an 11 night cruise,Two formal nights.We saw men in a sports jacket and t shirt under.Jeans with a sports jacket,The theme was if you had a sports jacket on you were let in.Women did seem to dress nicer but still no real formal attire.

mrscrab Posted September 26, 2016 #4 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I have noticed over the years that "formal nights" aren't what they used to be. Ladies used to be gowned in long dresses similar to what an opera singer or Shirley Bassey would wear. These days, although passengers do dress nicely it is slightly less formal than say 12 or 15 years ago. For gentlemen, even the TUX isn't seen as much but I do think men look very handsome once dressed in their suits and it does compliment the ladies.

Said t-shirt and jacket is also acceptable in any public space after dinner too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShotsnCruises Posted September 29, 2016 #9 Share Posted September 29, 2016 On 7 day Caribbean, Alaska and maybe the Med., there are no Formal nights! How about 11 night Caribbean? I have heard we will most likely have 2 nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted September 29, 2016 #10 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Keep in mind that, like the old gray mare, formal nights ain't what they used to be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinPashmina Posted September 29, 2016 #11 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I am now sailing on a ten day cruise on the Whisper, and much to my amazement, just about all the men were in dinner jackets at the Venetian Society party last evening. Most of the ladies were in cocktail dresses...very few long gowns anymore. Everyone I saw looked very spiffy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
