My husband doesn't want to wear a dinner jacket - will he get away with blazer and trousers on formal nights? Does EVERYONE wear a DJ?

I saw about 50/50 tux/black lounge suit. Two people in jeans ate in the bistro restaurant. Lots wore Blazers on other nights, but don't recall seeing any on formal nights.

 

My husband had been reluctant but decided to embrace it and wore a black lounge suit, dress shirt and bow tie and my son a bat wing collar shirt and gold cravat and waistcoat. He throughly enjoyed it, so much so we are going again and been shopping for the boys posh attire this evening.

 

We had three formal nights. The first and last were big events with Captains cocktails, photo ops etc. Everyone we saw was part of that (except the two jeans wearers who prefered to not take part). The middle formal night was also a port day and quite a few didn't manage to have time to dress for dinner after sightseeing under our own steam - especially as we were on the early sitting - so there were many more not in formal attire, but we all ate in the bistro in accordance with the dress code.

In answer to your recent post the majority of our passengers will wear a dinner suit on formal evenings, however a dark lounge suit is also acceptable attire to eat in our main restaurants on these particular evenings. Regards Fred. Olsen, Head Office, Ipswich
