Formal Nights

I was just wondering if the Black and White night counted as one of the 4 formal nights. We are on the carribean transatlantic Oct 2010 sailing from Southampton.

Yes it was when I was on Ventura last year.

Yes it's always a formal night. The vast majority of women adhere to the black and white even if it's a black dress, or glitzy top and floaty trousers with a white shawl or white flower. I would say it's the most formal of all the formal evenings. You do occasionally see the odd red dress - or whatever - but very, very few.

Yeah, When i was 25, I enjoyed in black & white night. Great feeling. I am planning for next year.

And having read about it on the posts on here used it as an excuse to go out and buy another (B&W) posh frock as the others were deep blue and bronze !

 

For someone who just did not 'DO' formal dress I am really getting into the swing of things and starting to look forward to it. Hubby looks very good in his new suit and bow tie too !!!!! (A real first!)

Hi Auntym, we are also sailing 22 October 2010 to Carribean, I take it you are on the Ventura!!

Sailed on Ventura last week and second formal night was black and white night, but didn't seem to affect what people wore - no different from the other formal night. All sorts of different colours evident and certainly less formal than we expected - mostly ladies in 3/4 length cocktail dresses.

On Azura last week it was quite well observed a lot in black and/or white, even the children.

 

Usually the last formal night of the cruise.
