Formal night - Freedom of Seas out of San Juan

[CruiseBell]

Our cruise is fast approaching in mid March and I am starting to plan my packing strategy.  We will be spending 3 nights in San Juan plus our 7 night cruise.  I am wondering about the necessity of formal clothes.  The last 3 cruises, which were 4 and 5 night, we noticed the decline of formal wear.  For those of you who have cruised out of San Juan, what has been your experience with formal night.  

 

On this cruise will be my husband, sister and brother- in-law.  This has been our discussion for some time.  We are pretty much in agreement to at least downplay the clothes, but for men, it’s still extra weight and room in the luggage.  

 

Thanks so much,

CruiseBell

Dress to impress.

Dressy sweat-shorts and a baseball 🧢 will be fine! 👍

We have cruised out of San Juan several times in recent years. We have seen almost every type of clothing in the MDR. There will be tuxes and gowns but there will also be shorts and tee shirts.

You will see the full range of attire.  Wear whatever you like.

You tend to get more locals sailing out of San Juan and they do dress up a bit.  They also prefer late dining.
