freshfielder Posted January 21, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Hi everyone, going on Splendida Yacht Club next week, how dressed up is elegant? Do most men wear a plain dark suit, shirt and tie or a black dinner suit and and bow tie. Dont want to pack both cos of airline weight allowancesAny help much appreciated :):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andante Posted January 21, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 21, 2018 On a recent transatlantic there were four formal nights. In the yacht club everyone was pretty elegant, ranging from "country club casual" to suits, jackets and just the odd one or two in full tux. Cannot speak for the rest of the ship though. Are you on the 27th Sailing...if so I am relieved to know I am not the only one!! Are you from the UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haworth Posted January 21, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I will be on the cruise from Abu Dhabi 04/02 in the Yacht Club. Jacket with an open neck shirt is as formal as I will be going, on our last YC cruise an English couple were "having a moment", I told you I would be overdressed in a DJ, he was not happy.

freshfielder Posted January 21, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Thanks for your replies and advice. Guess it will be a dark suit etc.. which will be lighter in weight in comparison to black tie. Sorry Andante we are going to India for a week before joining the Splendida on the 4th Feb for a week. Yes we are from the UK and never been in the YC before but from all reports we will enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andante Posted January 21, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 21, 2018 That sounds good. It is a long way to go for a week, so hope you have a great time in India. |Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted January 21, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 21, 2018 To all those sailing on Splendida in the next few weeks, can you come back and report on whether many people dressed up for Gala nights, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingFox27 Posted January 21, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I hope people do make an effort to dress up, interesting to see if they do. I will always wear an evening dress, DH will be wearing a suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricruiser Posted January 22, 2018 #8 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Normally a dark suit will be just fine in the YC restaurants. There's a tendancy I believe to be less formal in YC since we are in a little cocoon out of sight of the main ship guests, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoupleUK Posted January 23, 2018 #9 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Will let you all know later. Our first formal in YC tonight. My suit wearing days are long over - I dont even own a tie these days. For me it will be black trousers and a short sleeve button shirt. IF they state 100% formal in advance I would respect that for those who enjoy it and Id make do in the buffet for a night (or sulk in my room lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fewer people tend to dress formally in YC from my experience. Look forward to hearing about yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omarchs Posted January 23, 2018 #11 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I would be less inclined to bring along "formal" clothes if they continue to just have the one elegant night as some have noted in the first few sailings rather than the two planned.

Are you referring to Seaside? This thread is about Splendida. I'm sure they'll have 2 formal nights. They had 2 formal nights last February when we sailed on Fantasia in the region.
