Formal Nights on Seashore

[cruiseluver323]

We are on the April 21 salining from Port Canaveral. It is a 7 night cruise to the Bahamas and Western Caribbean. How many formal nights are on these 7 night sailings?  Which nights?  How “formal” do people dress?

On that itinerary we had one gala night.  
Ocean Cay night was Tropical

The next day was a sea day and was Elegant night.

Next night casual

Friday night White

Saturday casual

Anything from smart casual to a Tux.

 

MSC is not Cunard in this respect, so expect a wide range...

That is not our itinerary. We leave from Port Canaveral, then Nassau, sea day, Ocho Rios, grand Caymen, Cozumel, sea day, return to Port Canaveral.

Your first sea day will be elegant night.  EM

[rather be in Hawaii]

Are elegant/formal/gala nights more or less the same attire? Our previous recent cruises were NCL Haven which is fairly casual every night. Haven’t done a cruise with formal nights in many years. 😊

You can be as formal as you want…or not.  If you have a significant number of guests for Europe, they will be better dressed every night, not just elegant night.  EM
