Formal Dress after covid

[lux4me]

Hi all, 

We have not said Seabourn since Covid. 

For anyone who has been onboard recently 

what are the gentleman wearing for formal evening. We have tuxedos,  suits,  blazers. 

 

what were most of the men wearing. 
 

 

we just want to pack correctly and not be out of place.  we would prefer just blazers but will happily pack the others 

 

thanks

I think this really has become more port and cruise dependent. 

 

When we sailed in July 2022 it was more blazers and linen jackets in the Mediterranean and some long sleeved dress shirts in the main dining room on formal night.

 

We have a Grand Voyage coming up around South America  this January. The Gala Evening prior to boarding is designated as Formal and I know a special event in Rio de Janeiro is Formal. So my husband is bringing his tuxedo and I have some silk, long formal outfits to wear. We will wear them other Formal evenings as well.

 

I will admit we like to dress up. My silk clothes don't weigh much and my husband has various jackets in various colours so we will dress up. We have learnt to dress how we want and let others do the same within the ship's guidelines.

Thank you.  My husband and I did not want to start a huge debate.

 

But we want to dress appropriately.  We are on for Xmas/ New Years Caribbean

Dress how you want to in your finest and you will be just right.

You can never be overdressed on a cruise but you can be woefully underdressed as we have all seen.

Happy sailing!

On both of our post covid cruises we've seen many blazers, many suits, and some tuxedos on formal nights. The first was a Caribbean/Panama Canal cruise with hot weather, and the second was Dover to New York with cooler weather in Iceland and Greenland. None of these gentlemen seemed out of place on formal nights. Blazers and suits definitely outnumbered the tuxes.

Currently on Sojourn in Caribbean,  and on formal night was pleasantly surprised to see a good mix of tuxs and suits.  The only change (if I recall correctly) is that formal dress is now ONLY required in The Restaurant; I believe before it applied to other areas.

That is true, at least based on my recent voyage on the Encore.

The dress code is on Seabourn’s website. Anything that is in line with that is appropriate.

After 65 days on Grand Pacific certainly very very few wore Tuxedos ..many men wore a jacket but truly smart casual was basically order of the day

That's fine as they were following the dress code.
