Dressiness needed at nighttime

[davwen81]

Hi all, getting down to tin tacks now with about 3 weeks to go and we’re both thinking of clothes to take!

1- I have lots of casual smart dresses, is that enough or should I pack something a bit more dressy (long dress) for captains toast night.

2- Does it make any difference that it’s the reunion cruise? 

3- Does David need to take a jacket? He’d prefer not to but doesn’t want to feel like he should have! 

Any help gratefully appreciated

No jacket is needed.  Very few if any men will ever be seen in one.  Casual pants and a "Hawaiian" type button down shirt for men is common at dinner.  Some wear a short sleeved dress shirt (no tie), many will also were a collared polo type golf shirt.

I never take a jacket when sailing on the PG. 

 

Some like to dress up, especially the night of the captain's reception, and of course they are more than welcome to do so. Even the occasional tux can be seen.

 

The only difference between a reunion cruise and a regular one is that in the former there is an increase in the percentage of repeat passengers.  But even that is often slight.

 

Interesting your use of the phrase "tin tacks".  In North American it tends to be "brass tacks". Perhaps in China it is "bamboo tacks"?

How causal the ship is, is one of the  pluses to me.  You will see some people in cocktail wear while others are in pedal pushers. I am going more formal this time and pack a skirt.  :-] not a long one.  Just a regular one.

 

my husband it is short sleeve Hawaiian type shirts or Polos with chino type pants.
