Formal Night at Sea
Depending on the length of the cruise, there will be at least one, if not more, formal nights.
On cruises under a week, there is usually one formal night. On weeklong cruises, usually two. And on those over a week, usually three. You will find a full itinerary listing meal events with your documents, in the cruise line brochure, or online.
The definition of formal varies from ship to ship, and person to person. For the ladies, you will see floor length gowns, cocktail dresses, party outfits, or a simple long skirt and blouse. For the gentlemen, you will see tuxedoes, suits, sport coats, and occasionally a rebel wearing a t-shirt printed with a tuxedo motif.
Most ships have tuxedo rentals onboard, or bring your own tuxedo or suit. Some ships have party wear available for women to rent as well. There is also a pressing service onboard, so you don’t need to worry about how your clothing travels.
While it may be a stereotype, I think there’s a bit of truth to the notion that women will want to dress up for the evening, and men will resist it. Don’t put up a fuss about it, just go with the theme and have a good time. It’s a fun time to break away from the norm and enjoy a bit of adult night at the prom.
