formal night on 10 day cruise?

[porrah]

We are booked on the Zuiderdam 10 day cruise to the Panana Canal. Does anyone know how many formal nights there are likely to be?

[Krazy Kruizers]

Did your cruise -- 3 formal nights:

 

The first one will be the sea day after HMC.

 

The second one will be day 5 -- the night before you enter the Panama Canal.

 

The third one will be the first sea day after you leave Costa Rica.

We're doing the same cruise (probably a different time though) and we're from the Toronto area as well. 3 is a lot of formal nights! Hubby will not be too happy if it's really hot.....:rolleyes: ;)

KK is right... there will be three. I just printed our express docs today and it says so right on the boarding pass.

When we were on the Zuiderdam -- the ship was nice and cool.

DH had no problems wearing his tuxedo in the dining room or to the lounges.

Good to know. I'll tell him you said so! ;)

This sounds great but our Zuiderdam in January has the itinerary reversed. In that case when are the formal nights? Thanx

If that is the Jan 2 sailing, it is pretty straightforward... Sea days 1, 3 and 4 (i.e. Jan 3, Jan 7, Jan 10)

Thanks for the info, I will be on 12/13 and was curious about the schedule myself

Taxmantoo is correct for the formal nights for your cruise.

I am not certain why your cruise is being done in reverse. I do know that the Nieuw Amsterdam is scheduled to be at HMC on Jan 3 -- same day as you would have been had the schedule not been reversed. This has never stopped HAL from scheduling 2 ships on the same day for HMC in the past. I know that several times we have been there when there were 2 ships there.

According to Cruisereport.com Jan 3 has Nieuw Amsterdam AND Eurodam at HMC ... Zuiderdam would have made three. Perhaps three's a crowd:D:D:D

Always 3 formal nights on a 10 day cruise - always cool in public areas of ship!

Okay -- that makes sense -- one of the ships had to do an itinerary change.

I hate it when there are 2 ships there -- 3 -- I wouldn't even want to think about that. And 3 big ships to boot.
