Spinner2 Posted October 30, 2021 #301 Share Posted October 30, 2021 A question as we ei be B2B on this ship starting 11/21. What are people wearing on Gala nights? My DH is reconsidering the usual tux and after all these months of bring stuck at home I’d rather take a couple of pretty colorful dressy dresses than my usual floor-length evening wear black. Black just seems so dull right now. We will be in Pinacle dining if that matters And we enjoy dressing up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a lot of time for a trend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I haven’t be on a cruise in 2 years and I have found a lot of people don’t dress up much anymore. I used to bring long dresses but that’s over for me. I will still dress up but not like that. I’m sorry to say your husband will likely be in the minority. If you want to do it, why not. You will look wonderful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because others may be underdressed doesn't mean you have to dress down, too. I always dress up on Gala nights. My pretty clothes like to go out and play, too! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because others may be underdressed doesn't mean you have to dress down, too. I always dress up on Gala nights. My pretty clothes like to go out and play, too! I agree! While it's perfectly acceptable to not follow the suit & tie/tux or glittery gown/cocktail dress on gala nights, if you want to do so, then go for it. I have a completely sequined dress (knee length, sleeveless) that I wore on several cruises, but as an older woman now with old lady arms wouldn't have felt comfortable with it. But, I found a similar sequined shrug that covers the old lady parts and I plan to wear both on my upcoming December cruise. Will I be overdressed compared to most of the other passengers? Yes. Do I care? No. Should anyone else care? No. On my February cruise hubby will be there as well, and I do NOT plan to pack suit/tie for him, so we'll see if I bring the same dress/shrug or just go less formal to match him.

Spinner2 Posted October 31, 2021 #306 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Thanks everyone! I just wanted to get a general idea of changes in dress once cruising resumed as over the years it’sdefinitely become less formal. We’ve been cruising with HAL for some time (we are 5-star) and definitely don’t mind if no one but us dresses up but I thought I’d try to get a rough idea of what tnose who’ve sailed already have noticed. Maybe a hot new trend that I’ve overlooked has appeared! It’s true I’ve never planned a formal night outfit that included a mask but since I mostly design and sew my own dressy clothes I’ll incorporate a scrap somewhere on the mask. A thin fabric now over each ear perhaps? 🤔 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
