Hi,

I think either would be fine - whatever takes your fancy!

I used to bring long gowns, but when we had to fly they tended to be quite heavy; now no matter we are cruising I bring 2 cocktail dresses and I fit right in so yes, it is whatever you feel like.

thanks, Ive got short cocktails dresses but fancy buying a couple of lovely long ones as don't have any opportunity to wear them at home, so looking to justify it to myself lol I'm not worried about the weight etc flying business so i don't have to worry about stuff like that and any shopping i buy in Canada and Vegas, and i am more than happy to pay for porters to carry my cases!

If your looking for a reason to buy a long gown, do it. We just got off the Summit on Sunday and I wore a long gown. I too figured when else would I wear it, but I was in the minority, but I enjoyed it.

It's an "either/or" thing....

I was thinking of pulling out my long dresses but family who cruises on celebrity a few times a year said that the majority are wearing short dresses these days (probably because of restricted luggage) but if you want to I would say go for it anyway as long as you don't mind being in the minority.

I wore long dresses for formal night on our last cruise and although I probably was in the minority I didn't notice. Most everyone was dressed beautifully; short dresses, long dresses, glitzy tops and spangly pants. It's not like being in a formal dress surrounded by people in jeans (although TBH I probably wouldn't care then either, so I might not be the best gauge!)

I always wear long, and don't find I'm in the monority, more like 50/50.

Hi Debs,

Both are fine. On our resent Solstice cruise I took 2 long dresses & 1 cocktail dress as we had 3 formal nights. There where some beautiful dresses to be seen. Enjoy your cruise, we certainly did. :)

Just tell your other half that you simply must have a selection of fabulous dresses otherwise you will be completely out of place! I always take a long evening gown for each formal night plus a cocktail dress for every other evening.

unfortunately my partner is, a i cant quite bring myself to say it a gooner lol but he is not coming on cruise with me i am taking my mum i love dressing up for a night out and as my social life normally revolves around football (soccer) it will be a nice change to put on a dress and high heels instead of team colors and trainers lol
