Further to my above post, I would add that a lot seems to depend on the enterprise and enthusiasm of the particular cruise director as to whether or not (and to what extent) special events take place. Also rough seas tend to cause events to be more low key. With regard to formal nights, it is left up to individuals to make what they wish of them. Those who enjoy dressing up do so, others do the minimum required.

We have been on Saga cruises , including recently, where the crew have decorated the dining room for Hallowe’en, St Andrew’s Day, Valentine’s Day etc but have never encountered events where the passengers dressed up. There have been events such as a Spanish fiesta in decorated outdoor dining areas where the waiters dressed up but again not the passengers.
