casofilia Posted September 18, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 18, 2022 @wezie NCL doesn't have a "Formal" night on any cruise. Same clothes every night!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What day is the formal night for a 5 day cruise? There is no "formal night" on NCL. It is Freestyle Cruising. They ask you to Dress Up or Not (we pick Not). On our recent 5-night cruise on the Breakaway, every night was Resort Casual - shorts permitted in all restaurants for all meals except Ocean Blue and Le Bistro that asked gents to wear long pants (jeans or dockers o.k.).

mlbcruiser Posted September 18, 2022 #4 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Was lobster, usually a formal night entrée, ever served in the main dining room, even though it was just a five night cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobster is never served in any of the main dining rooms. Lobster is served for an extra charge in Cagney's Steakhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wezie Posted September 18, 2022 Author #6 Share Posted September 18, 2022 OK, so there is really no "special" dinner on a certain night that we should try to make it to the dining room vs. a specialty restaurant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony s Posted September 18, 2022 #8 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Formal nights don’t always mean better. We took the Queen Victoria in July. They made you wear black tie for two formal nights. They also had shoe leather appearing lamb and an appetizer of chicken fingers on formal night. Will take NCL anytime over that 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobster was removed from NCL main dining room menus in August 2016. Lobster is available in some of the Specialty Dining restaurants (for an upcharge if you are using a dining package). And is available on the complimentary menu in the Haven (we added lobster to every main course on our cruise last month). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never get dressed up when sailing on NCL. Exactly, Cunard is a traditional cruise from the old days. NCL, one can do a full 12 days with just a gym bag of clothes and still be over dressed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancy = anything more than my flippie floppies, tshirt, and shorts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
