Formal Night ?

[Kimbo99]

Do most of the ladies where long dresses? Is it appropriate to wear one that comes down to your knees?

 

Thanks

You can wear a LONG dress, a SHORT dress, a fancy pantsuit, fancy pants and fancy top - really anything that's shiny can pass as formalwear. I prefer not to stress too much about it. Only reason I go is because the menu is usually better that night.

Great.

Thank you so much!

You might want to post this question on the ship's forum so that people you have sailed the same ship would be able to comment.

 

I've been on ships where pretty much all the women wore formal (floor length) gowns and other ships that were less formal and women wore everything short of jeans on the formal night.

Either long gowns or cocktail dresses. I would say 50/50

I see the about 70% wearing long dresses, about 25% short cocktail dresses and 5% wearing, well, i'm not quite sure what you would call it.

I wore a long gown one night and a short dress the other night.

Traditionally long dresses were worn on formal night. However, more women are wearing dresses that fall at the knees or mid-calf. So, find a dress you love and have a GREAT cruise!!
