Formal Nights on 7 night

[golfwidow3]

Hello, We are leaving 12/16 on a 7 nt on the Zuiderdam, would anyone know what nights are the formal nights and if one is more formal than the other? Thanks in advance!

Judt got back. Formal nights are sunday and thursday when you are at sea. There's an informal night, I think, on Wednesday and the rest are casual. Don't sweat the dress code. On informal night, the men are to wear a jacket, so I made my dh put one on. He didn't need to, because most of the guys weren't wearing one.

 

And most people changed clothes after dinner to be comfortable for the shows.

I have always found that the first formal evening seems to be a little dressier than the second one.

Thanks so much for your replies. We always really dress up, because we don't really have any other opportunity to do so, even on the non formal nights. I think it's one of the best parts of cruising, being able to dress up. We got my dh and son tuxedos, and I have 2 long formal dresses, one more so than the other, that's why I wanted to know which night was more formal (probably the Captain's Dinner night, right?). It really bothers us when people don't dress appropriately :rolleyes: , but to each their own I guess. Thanks again.

I'm in the same boat as the OP. (yes, meant to be a pun.) Will I be fine bringing one jacket? Will anyone care that I wear the same thing both formal nights? I need the room in the suitcases for scuba gear :)
