formal nights

[Holey]

I have heard there is no longer any formal nights is this true?

We are equinox on a 10 night cruise in October Thankyou

Yes, it's true. You'll have what they now call Evening Chic nights in the main dining room. I still like to dress up and do so on those nights, even if I'm not eating in the MDR. You'll see everything from jeans with a nice top/heels to sequined gowns on the women.

Formal has been replaced with evening chic. Go to Celebrity's website under FAQ and you'll find the suggested dress guidelines for all evening in the MDR.

No more formal nights. No need to feel sad, though. You may dress as formally as you wish. There aren't many tuxedos and long gowns, but passengers still try to look nice for dinner. Wear whatever makes you feel beautiful.

For years, formal night attire has been problematic for many cruisers. Some loved it. Some hated it. While it was fun to dress up, it required bringing more clothes for those evenings. Happily, formal night died. Now it has been replaced by evening chic. Nobody seems to know what it means. Some people dress up. Many people dress the same every night. No need to bring a tuxedo, suit, tie, etc. It certainly cuts down on luggage. It is your cruise. Dress as you want. The main concept for me is what are the waiters wearing. On the old formal night, waiters wore tuxedos. They don't wear tuxedos anymore. Unless you wear something outlandish, nobody will even remember what you wore. Relax and enjoy.

You could just skip the dress code threads if they don't interest you.

Some don't consider a tux to be a 'penguin costume', but an opportunity to enjoy wearing a style which compliments my dress for the evening. If DH CHOSE not to wear a tux that would be fine with me and I'd dress in the evening chic dress code, which we often do. Different strokes, etc. BTW...it was never mandatory, at least not since the early 1900's; a suit and tie for men or sports jacket replaced it if one decided a tuxedo wasn't for them. OP should enjoy wearing whatever she/he prefers and will not be out of place.

heeheeheehee, can't help myself...you're quick and observant as well.

Evening Chic

What Celebrity thought: A suit or jacket, definitely something smart

What Guests Did: Another polo shirt

 

To be fair, Celebrity is not quite as scruffy as RCI has become, but within a decade I would guess it will be jeans/shorts and a t-shirt every night

 

Maybe they will come to their senses and get rid of the dining room as well, we can all eat off the floor - who needs cutlery

Who knows what Celebrity "thought", but what they said is that jeans (designer, whatever that means) are fine and that jackets are strictly optional. No mention made of suits.
