Tillybud Posted February 9, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Cocktail Dresses are mentioned for formal dining but I would like to know if smart black trousers with appropriate evening tops would be allowable? Can anyone help who has recently sailed on QM2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone help who has recently sailed on QM2? I've plucked this photograph from my cruise blog just for you Tilly... It was taken at the World Club Cocktail Party two months ago.

Eleteace Posted February 9, 2017 #3 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Hey hey, that would definitely be appropriate. I mostly wore dresses but a smart pair of trousers is just as good! If you wanna see what I wore here ya go: http://cruisingisntjustforoldpeople.co.uk/2016/11/08/cunard-dress-code-what-to-wear/ :) Have a fabulous time! I found the whole thing to be really fancy... the informal nights were more formal than I'd ever dress in my normal life but I still had a really good time :) Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone help who has recently sailed on QM2? There is that word again "Smart" as in "Smart Trousers or Smart Casual" Can someone explain to me the difference between "Smart and Stupid" trousers or casual wear?

harpy3 Posted February 11, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 11, 2017 So if I wear long gowns on formal nights will I have company. I enjoy dressing up and don't, personally, consider a cocktail dress or dress pants to be formal. That's what I would wear on the not-formal nights. I feel like there are mixed messages about dress code and what people actually wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summergee Posted February 11, 2017 #7 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I always wear my long evening dresses on formal nights. I am never in the minority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harpy3 Posted February 11, 2017 #9 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Great...I'm looking forward to it. On Crystal it was lovely to see everyone truly formally dressed. Makes an occasion of a TA (in spite of the extra luggage required). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Host Hattie Posted February 14, 2017 #12 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Yes. Agree with you. Don't the officers wear black tie on Formal nights? Definitely looks informal to me too, especially if you look at the men sitting down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just have to go back an reread the blog!:) Yes I would have thought the photo shows an informal dress code.I suspect there will be lots of long gowns. Anyway we'll have fun dressing up!

Yes, but the Officer is not wearing the usual formal attire they wear - bow tie. What about the men sat down to the right of the photo? They look like passengers.:) Good spot. Informal. Jackets only.
