Can we get away with just collared shirt and long pants for guys. Ladies a long skirt? formal nights are now called elegant nights and what you described for men, long pants and collared shirts are more the norm for elegant nights. Ladies don't need to get that dressed up either. Sun dresses, capris, etc. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasekeye Posted July 31, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 31, 2018 You will see a few men in suits, a few more with jacket and tie, many more casual as Bill described. A few Ladies will be in knee length cocktail dresses, some in sun dresses and some in capris and nice tops. That said, I have seen a couple evening gowns and tuxes...but def not the norm. It’s a case of dress in the level of “elegant “ that makes you happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teknoge3k Posted July 31, 2018 #5 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I just got off of the Conquest this weekend and was on the Magic last month. I am not sure if I saw a single jacket on either one. I know I didn't see any tuxes or anything. It was pretty much 100% jeans/khakis and polos for guys or a button up shirt at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMAE Posted August 1, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 1, 2018 We make a night of it and dress up. We do not care how others dress, we are on vacation for us, not anyone else. I don't want to send any energy on things I don't control or care about. We just want a relaxing vacation to forget about work for a week! Wear what you want, happy sailing!!!!

RTV Man Posted August 1, 2018 #9 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Just got off Horizon. Wore dark jeans and a nice colored shirt. The ladies working the door never said anything. Very few ppl had suits, or even shirt and tie. As long as you look presentable, they don’t seem to care. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californiacruizers Posted August 2, 2018 #19 Share Posted August 2, 2018 More people dressed up than not, yet wasn't a big deal. No one singled out anyone for not dressing up. Elegant nite is the perfect opportunity to take nice photos so many take advantage of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nacwolin Posted August 2, 2018 #20 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Haven’t been on a cruise since 2009, but I plan to dress up for the elegant nights. I love it! I will wear a gown for the first and a nice black dress for the second. Hubby will wear a suit for first then probably ditch the jacket or tie for the second. My best friend and her hubby are planning to do the same. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we get away with just collared shirt and long pants for guys. Ladies a long skirt? Collared shirt and long pants are well within the elegant night dress code, and Carnival seems to lean "less picky" than more so, so you will be fine. You will likely see some people dressed up a bit more, and a few dressed up a bit less. I typically wear a black button-down shirt and khakis. For packing reasons, my footwear consists of sneakers. My wife usually wears a summer dress or cocktail dress on elegant nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PH29 Posted August 3, 2018 #23 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I leave for my cruise in 16 days, I plan to pack two cocktail dresses because I really enjoy the formal night. I don’t have much of a chance to get all dressed up at home, so we have fun with it here. Plus I always get pictures taken of us all dresses up too, and have treasured those for years.

For the record Bo, I thought turning people away who wore shorts to the Steakhouse was the right decision (you did not ask, but thought I would mention it).
