Formal Nights

[luvdsny]

We are sailing on NCL Star in September to Alaska. We've previously cruised with NCL for a 4-day trip. With Freestyle dining do the 7 day cruises have a formal night? Or does the freestyle do away with formal nights. Trying to plan for our trip, any help would be great! :)

There are no formal nights on NCL, regardless of the length of the cruise. There is a "dress up or not night" and you'll find some folks dressed up, but many don't. Alaska cruises tend to be a bit more casual, anyway.

thats whats so GREAT about NCL...its YOUR CHOICE...you can 'dress up or not' any night of your cruise!

ENJOY your time in ALASKA and on the STAR*:)

We did Alaska in July on the Star, and we did get dressed up for formal night, but tbh we could have done that any night - I had read on here someone who thought more than 50% on her cruise had been dressed up for it, but on ours it was more like 20% I'd guess.

 

The 2nd night is when you can get your picture taken with the Captain, the photographers are there nearly every other night, so in reality you can get dressed up a different night, get some nice pics taken and avoid the lines.;)

Alaska, Hawaii and Bermuda cruises tend to have less people dressing up. The European cruises tend to have more....but it is still usually far below 50%.

There is no 'formal' night on any NCL ships. You are most likely referring to a 'dress up or not' night.
