Thanks Miss G. I agree. I've noticed the Europeans tend to dress up.

Thank you for the quick response from you Canada Rocks, also from Cruiser Bruce. I'm trying to get a feel for the vibe of this cruise line. My feeling is it's more adult and formal than other lines that cater to a young party crowd. I'm curious to see how many people answer what they would do. A. Go formal or B. Go smart dinner attire.

I have gorgeous full length formal dresses that hang in the closet and are rarely worn. I'd like to dress up for gala night, however formal wear is a pain to pack. I could pack lighter if all that is needed is smart dinner attire. This is our first time cruising with Holland America. We're leaving out of Barcelona and doing northern Europe. Can anyone answer, "How dressy is dressy?", on the Holland America New Statendam?
