Why dont they make it a ticketed event, even if its free - just take bookings on the day and have a standby list like a theatre so that you dont have to waste 45 minutes of the evening which is the equivalent of the brits getting up at 5am to reserve their sun lounger.
Just thinking about if i booked specialitu dining and wanted the show after - if i booked for 7/7.15pm then i guess i'd be pretty safe for the second showing?
Thanks. Our itinery is day 1 embarkation day, 2 sea day, 3,4,5&6 port days, 7 sea day, 8 disembark. Day 6 departs Oslo at 4pm so assume formal nights will be evening 2 and 6?
We have a 7 night scandanavian cruise on Sky booked for May 2023. I also have a short cruise this November with Cunard - which I know is more formal. As I am buying suitable evening clothing now for the November cruise I want to make sure that what I buy is also appropriate for the Princess cruise.
We are a male couple in our late 30s. We would like to take the opportunity to dress up a bit. We have Club Class dining.
My questions for the Princess cruise are:
- the website suggests there are 2 formal nights on a 7 night cruise. Is this the reality?
- How formal is formal - what will be appropriate to wear?
- Which nights will be formal - seadays?
- What happens on formal nights - is there a special menu (in club MDR?) Im trying to figure out which nights we might want speciality dining.
Thanks
I hesitate to post this knowing how tipping threads end up! I'm not interested in what people think about tipping or how much. But I would like to know IF I tip beyond auto gratuities, is it customary to do so in US dollars, GBP (as my cruise starts and ends in Southampton) or Euros (as that is where the cruise sails to)?
So far have been holding for an hour trying to make final payment this morning because i keep getting an error message when trying to pay online. Crazy.
