flahagan Posted April 28 #1 Share Posted April 28 I'm starting to pack for my cruise this coming Saturday on HAL Rotterdam to the Norwegian fjords and in looking at the daily planner available on the app now, every night is "smart casual". I was planning to take a cocktail dress but am now rethinking my clothes! Have any of you had recent experience with this? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDARCH Posted April 28 #2 Share Posted April 28 If your boarding pass is available in the app...it should be...mine is there for the cruise following. Open your boarding pass and click "Tap for more information". It will show how many Gala Attire Evenings. Information comes and goes on the App Itinerary in the weeks preceding your cruise. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happytotravel Posted April 28 #3 Share Posted April 28 HI, I would pack what I enjoy wearing. Sometimes the only time we get to "dress up" is on a cruise. Have fun! happytotravel 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbie42 Posted April 28 #4 Share Posted April 28 It will stay Smart Casual until you're actually underway, then they'll add in Dressy Nights. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, as with my most recent past voyages, they may add them before departure, and then supplement, delete, and move them either before and or after departure. All depends on the ship staffs’ personal work flow/style. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BetsyS. Posted April 28 #6 Share Posted April 28 happytotravel - I agree with you. People should pack what they enjoy wearing. Years ago, I packed too many things for dressy nights, but I only wore my favorite things. Other things stayed in the closet. I have some nice dressy black slacks that I wear with "sparkly" tops on dressy nights. As someone said on these boards, "no one cares if you wear something more than once." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HUNKY Posted April 28 #10 Share Posted April 28 Pick whichever source of info best fits your style! On the app “my itinerary” nor the boarding pass mention dressy nights. Therefore, I can choose all smart casual or a week with two Gala Nights. It’s great to have choices. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
