Is this your itinerary?

 

Day 1 Port Canaveral (Orlando) depart 4:00 PM

Day 2 Nassau arrive 9:00 AM - depart 5:00 PM

Day 3 Fun Day At Sea

Day 4 Amber Cove arrive 8:00 AM - depart 4:00 PM

Day 5 Grand Turk arrive 8:00 AM - depart 4:00 PM

Day 6 Fun Day At Sea

Day 7 Port Canaveral (Orlando) arrive 8:00 AM

 

More than likely, as long as there are no holiday celebrations involved, you Elegant Nights should happen on...

Day 3 Fun Day At Sea

Day 5 Grand Turk arrive 8:00 AM - depart 4:00 PM

...BUT there is no absolute guarantee they will.

See if you can find fairly recent copies of the FunTimes for your itinerary posted somewhere on the web.

 

As a very general rule Carnival does not have Elegant Nights on embarkation night nor the night before disembarkation, due to luggage delivery and pick-up. Also they try very hard to give you 2 hours after last ashore in ports to get cleaned-up and dressed for Elegant Night. The cruise line also dislikes doing Elegant Nights consecutively.

Do they always follow this? Well, no as we can attest to. There have been cruises where day 3 was our first Fun Day At Sea and day 4 the only "short" port day, so they did the 2 Elegant Evenings back to back. Another cruise because NYE was embarkation night that was Elegant Night, but since it was already cool out many boarded wearing pants or long casual dresses (plus it was stated in the final email about what to expect on board). Another cruise the second Elegant Evening was kinda of skipped all together, as we were overnight in port (a special 1 off itinerary). They did have the 2nd night menu selections but the FunTimes listed it as casual dress.
