Just want to make sure I have this correct...

First night MDR attire is casual as you may or may not have your luggage..?

2nd night of a 7 day cruise is elegant night in the MDR...?

The rest of the nights other then the 2nd elegant night on a 7 day, the dress attire in the MDR is also casual? I do not mean shorts and a T-Shirt, but women can wear a summer dress and heels.. Longer shorts with a pretty top and heels..Long skirt? Men can wear what? Nice button up short sleeved top and tailored shorts, no cargo shorts? Polo shirt?Sandals?

Every night is casual except the 2 elegant nights......which means on casual nights (not just the first night) you may wear what Carnival suggests in their dress code.......

Which includes, jeans, shorts, sandals...etc....

2 elegant nights, not 1.

It sounds like you are going to do fine and it is right in line with everything that I have read. Just to ease your mind I can tell you what I have selected. This is my first cruise as well and for my non-formal evenings I am bringing a sundress and a couple pairs of capri's in a solid colors. I can just mix and match some tops. I have some slip on sandals with a small heel and I found a lightweight fabric mini-jacket thingy at Marshall's that is black and will work over the little tops with the capri's in the MDR or shows if it gets cool. I made sure that the fabrics hold up well to not wrinkle and want to pack as light as possible.

 

For the non-formal evenings my fiance has docker like pants (not jeans) and button up shirts and golf style shirts. He has casual docker type shoes as well. I think this will be fine.

 

Have a great time on your first cruise. Cari :)

yes, you will be fine. People wear pretty much anything. I like the idea of a summer dress.
