Carnival No More "Formal" Night

[liz000]

Since the update on the website in the past few days, I've reread the FAQs and was surprised to see the the word Formal has been removed from what are now called Cruise Casual and Cruise Elegant Dining nights. The Mens dress code now only lists dress slacks and a dress shirt.

 

:p With the addition of the fees most of the airlines just imposed on the 2nd checked bag, it couldn't have come at a better time

Nothing has changed but the name. There have always been those who chose to dress down on formal night and those of us who have always dressed "elegantly" in the past, will continue to do so.

I imagine MOST of us will probably choose to dress as we always have for an 'elegant evening' - from cocktail party to dinner to production show.:) ....no matter what they call it now, it's still the same thing.
