LaPaloma Posted June 26, 2009 #1 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Now that we no longer have formal nights,except holiday cruises, on Caribbean --for the triplets--I'm guessing for week we will have 3 semi formal (jacket and ties) and 4 casual? Do you think I'm guessing right? Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfersgirl Posted June 27, 2009 #2 Share Posted June 27, 2009 We are on the Spirit for Xmas/NY, so we will have at least 1 formal night?. I checked for the month we are on the Odyssey in August and we only have 4 formal nights out of 28 - does this mean I have less of an excuse for shopping?

I assume the same rule applies to Odyssey as it does the triplets. Host Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claudiaYVR Posted June 28, 2009 #6 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I just checked the Seabourn website under "already booked" and it says: Nights with suggested black tie optional attire: 2 Perhaps it is considered a holiday cruise because it is Thanksgiving? Anyways, that makes me very happy :p Should clarify this is the Odyssey's November 14 maiden Caribbean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jures Posted June 28, 2009 #8 Share Posted June 28, 2009 my wife and i are silversea customers and this is the first time on seabourn, i got a little concerned with no formal nights, l hope 'carnivalization' of seabourn was not taking hold, we look forward to formal nights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaPaloma Posted June 28, 2009 Author #9 Share Posted June 28, 2009 my wife and i are silversea customers and this is the first time on seabourn, i got a little concerned with no formal nights, l hope 'carnivalization' of seabourn was not taking hold, we look forward to formal nights It seems strange to me that the Carib. is singled out to go casual. Other parts of the world are Hot weather cruises..and have beaches....WHY??? does this change take place? We have cruised SB for years and Sea Goddess before that..until..they went casual. It seems to me that there is so little elegance in life today, to deny us these formal nights is a shame. We are going to the Carib in March and will celebrate our 50th aniv...it is very disapointing to have to travel on SB for the first time..CASUAL.

Seabourn-nail Posted June 29, 2009 #11 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Why not dress formally,I will.No one will mind. I agree! Sometimes I "overdress" too! Not necessarily with a lot of clothes.... ;) Marja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaPaloma Posted June 29, 2009 Author #12 Share Posted June 29, 2009 You are correct..and I will. On the last SG trip that we were on, many of the regulars were disgruntled about the change. A family of 9 was among those and they came beautifully decked out one night, but the one son..about 30 dressed as a very sexy woman and came on the arm of his brother-in-law. This was a huge surprise to the family and all were amused but the father. It was so funny. The ship's Doctor went around bragging that this was one of his best sex-change successes.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairsin Posted June 29, 2009 #14 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Lola, I agree, I would get dressed up anyway -- maybe not tux but certainly Sailor Boy would wear a coat and tie and I would wear a cocktail dress.Though I must say one of the reasons we are looking at the Costa Rica/Panama Canal cruise for our next Seabounr cruise is because I understand the normal number of black tie nights still apply on this itinerary. In terms of any potential "Carnivalization" of Seabourn I would be more concerned if that happened in the area of casual daytime dress rather than evening attire(eventhough I always have been and always will be one of the proponents of formal black tie nights).I have seen some creeping sloppiness in attire on the past two cruises. Not so much just jeans( and I am certainly not anti jeans -- I live in them half the year), but torn, faded ones,and other similar attire. I really don't think casual means slovenly.
