Formal Nights on Caribbean

[iseeunow2]

I am considering the 4/2 on Caribbean Princess and wondering about the 2 Formal Nights. Have previously saled on NCL & love Freestyle. We prefer resort casual all nights....My question is, on the 2 formal nights can we visit Cafe Caribe/Buffett in resort casual? We're in our mid-late 20's and understand that a lot of people like to get decked out on formal nights, but its really not for us & we're trying to pick a line other(better) than NCL....Any suggestions?:confused:

You don't have to feel obligated to dress up on formal night... You can eat at the Cafe Caribe/Buffett in your shorts and casual wear...

However you can still eat in the dining rooms w/out having to dress up.

There is such a wide variety of attire... ball gowns and tuxedos... summer dresses... khaki pants and a top... You can still wear your "resort wear" clothing of formal night in the dining room!

I am about the same age as you... On some Princess cruises, I have been all decked out... On my last cruise on the Caribbean Princess, I simply wore a pair of white pants and a flow-y top... I didn't feel out of place at all!

You'll LOVE your Princess cruise!!

I found the formal nites on this ship, to be more casual in attire, than other cruises we have been on.

 

We're going back in July, & I'm not even bringing any gowns. Told my DH not to bring his Tux either.

 

You can go to the Cafe Caribe on formal nites & wear casual clothes. I wouldn't worry.

On Formal nights isn't the attire still tux or dark suit or jacket in the dining rooms & not resort casual on the 2 formal nights?

Yes it is still formal wear, on those 2 nites, but you don't have to wear very formal clothes. Long, short dress, pantsuit , with fancy accessories will do.

 

If you go to the Caribe Cafe, you can wear whatever you want.

Yes you are correct, the two formal nights are exactly that in the dining room.

And in all dining rooms except for the buffet..
