Hey, Peg ... that's a tough one. How people actually dress on formal nights can vary greatly from night to night. The code is, officially, the same for all three nights. However, on a cruise with 3 formal nights sometimes one of those nights will be classified as a "Black and White Ball." That may well be the most "dressy" of the nights in terms of how people actually dress.

 

On long cruises with 3 or more formal nights I've generally found that the first one is quite dressy, the second one is a little less so ... and the final one is very dressy again (often that's because it's a "black and white ball," as I mentioned before).

 

When you board check the Daily Program ... it should list which nights of the cruise will have what dress code, and may even identify which one as a "black and white ball." That may help you to coordinate a little better.

thank you for your help. We enjoy dressing up. My husband will wear his tux. I am just trying to figure out how I will rotate my outfits!:D

I must admit that, since dh wears the same outfit with maybe a change of tie and cummerbund, I also wear the same long dress for each of the nights up to three; for 4 or more I'd take a different dress - maybe change jewelry or have a different coverup, but no one is going to remember what I wore except maybe the people at our table.

As the Nancyquilts has mentioned it is pretty simple for the gentleman..:)

 

For cruises I understand the packing problem for the females!!:rolleyes:

 

From a males perspective mix & match then relax.. We will never know the difference..:p

We have done quite a few cruises where there were 3 formal nights.

 

Just my observation - there were many more people dressed formally on the second night.
