sibs Posted August 18, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I know another formal question, but I love to dress up and so does my daughter. We are on oasis and for the two formal nights want to wear long formal dresses. (We never get to do that at home) Will we look way overdressed and out of place? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on oasis and for the two formal nights want to wear long formal dresses. (We never get to do that at home) Will we look way overdressed and out of place? Thanks No, lots of women dress in formals on formal nights. And some men have on their Tuxes. Edited August 18, 2017 by Bette And Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare vacationlover_mn Posted August 18, 2017 #14 Share Posted August 18, 2017 There is such a variety in what people where on formal nights... From shorts to long and fancy dresses. You will not stick out, but might possibly be envied :) I wear a semi-dressy-dress every night, just because it's the only time I ever dress up (except weddings and funerals), and I always envy the ladies in fancy gowns!!!

Fitzget Posted August 18, 2017 #15 Share Posted August 18, 2017 You won't look funny at all. I've been on both ends; I've gone on cruises where I just didn't want to dress up at all, and didn't. No one batted an eye. Then there have been cruises where I shopped for formal suits to wear on formal nights, and felt great doing so! Sometimes it just feels great to dress up, and trust me, people will stare. But only because of how nice you look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbussert Posted August 18, 2017 #16 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Not over dressed at all. There is nothing like a formal night where 80% or better do dress for the occasion. It's great to see everyone in formal attire and you will love it! have a ball, and enjoy the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreadpirate3 Posted August 18, 2017 #17 Share Posted August 18, 2017 We dress semi-formal on formal nights and there are usually a few more dressed up and a great number dressed similar to us. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Jacquelyn Posted August 18, 2017 #18 Share Posted August 18, 2017 You won't look out of place at all. We always wear long dresses. Some women go all out with beads and sequins. Enjoy, and take lots of pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted August 18, 2017 #19 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Most people do not dress that formally , my wife still loves formal nights and I still wear my Tux, you will not look out of place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBone2K Posted August 18, 2017 #20 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Wear your formal wear and be sure to get your picture taken by the photographers before dinner. Ship's officers will be wearing their dress uniforms as well as CD (and their staff?) dress formal. I can't remember now but I think even the dining room staff have different uniforms for formal night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted August 18, 2017 #21 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I can't remember now but I think even the dining room staff have different uniforms for formal night.

Good point, we almost always get a formal picture taken ( of course we are diamond and they are free) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HicksRA Posted August 18, 2017 #23 Share Posted August 18, 2017 No you will not look funny. You'll see the full spectrum, from Liberace to Jimmy Buffet. :-). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voyager70 Posted August 18, 2017 #24 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Not as obvious, but yes, they do wear a different outfit on formal night. Wow I never noticed that, I'll be sure to check it out on my next cruise. I also love to see people all decked out on formal nights, one of the things I miss from the way cruising used to be years ago. But I also understand with baggage restrictions from the airlines and a general "casualization" of our society it was pretty much inevitable.

Ashland Posted August 18, 2017 #25 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Enjoy what you decide to wear...many will be dressed similar but many will not...You will certainly not make those that are not "jealous" as some posted above....that's not the point or has anything to do with what each of us decides to wear.
