Formal nights on Coral

[pjbmontana]

We are leaving from San Pedro on Coral on April 10th for 14 days to Fort Lauderdale through the Panama Canal. Does anyone know which nights of the cruise going eastbound are formal nights. Since we are 'elite' passengers I am planning on getting my suit cleaned after getting on the ship but want to be sure there is time to get it back before the first formal night.

You'll have time. It definitely will not be on the 11th.

It was on the third night last month, then between Puntarenas and Fuerte Amador, then the night before the last (I think - could be wrong on the last one).

Three formal nights.

We had been to the ports before, so we took the carriage ride in Cartagena. If you haven't been, I recommend the city tour.

We booked the train ride in Panama, but it was canceled because of a strike in Colon and they couldn't guarantee our safety.

We've seen Puntarenas several times, so opt for the handicraft shopping at the beginning of the pier. After 10am there should be a shuttle to take you back and forth on a loooooong pier.

On the 1/17 LA to FLL sailing, the formal nights were:

 

2nd sea day - Thursday

8th day - Tuesday (sea day after Punteranas)

13th day - Sunday (sea day after Aruba)

 

Nancyquilts, don't be disappointed about the train ride. You saved money and a lot of time on the bus! Hope you enjoyed your anniversary and the round trip.
