Formal? Is that in all restaurants?

[rosiebee]

I'm thinking of booking a cruise on the Oceana. I've looked it up on-line and there are 4 formal and 10 smart casual nights. Does this mean that on the formal nights, formal attire is required dress in all the eating areas onboard? I could get my husband into a suit for 1 or 2 nights, but 4 is pushing it. He can do a nice 'smart-casual.

Are there any casual eating places to go to on formal nights or is it a case of suit or starve?

There is always the buffet in the self service restaurant if you prefer the more casual choice.

Your lucky you haven't got semi formal nights as well instead of all those smart casual nights.then its a jacket and trousers for man although a tie need not be worn on them.:)

Look put it another way you have 10 CASUAL NIGHTS and just 2 formals per week, look on it as a chance to dress up, the gala menus in the main restaurant are always one notch better on a formal night , most men will be in tux but a suit and tie is fine. It would be a shame to miss the lovely 5 course waiter served meal ,
