comfortcove Posted October 24, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I have been away, but got back and Express Docs were available last Friday! There are two formal nights on upcoming December Noordam cruise, eight smart casual. In the past, I remember three. Now I will book some Pinnacle reservations! Still no cabin assignment or upsell offers, but I see all categories are still available, at better prices and with more shipboard credit, so I am keeping my fingers crossed!

sail7seas Posted October 24, 2013 #2 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Sounds great. There always were three formal nights on ten day cruises, however, lately there have been a number of reports of HAL backing off to fewer formal nights and many ten day cruises now have two formal nights. Good you know and can plan in advance. Have a great cruise. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted October 24, 2013 #3 Share Posted October 24, 2013 We were on the Noordaqm not too long ago and on each of the 10 day and 11 day segments we had 3 formal nights. Someone else not too long ago mentioned -- for a different ship -- that their docs only listed 2 formal nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comfortcove Posted October 24, 2013 Author #4 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Yes, i like formal nights, but it is fine with two. I am glad to know ahead of time for packing purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone else not too long ago mentioned -- for a different ship -- that their docs only listed 2 formal nights. I recall that. And didn't they report after they got on the ship that there was to be 3 formal nights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted October 24, 2013 #7 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I don't remember. I will try to find that thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhawktraveler Posted October 24, 2013 #8 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I'm on this same trip and was really excited to get the express docs the other day. I had planned for 3 formal nights. I'm OK with two nights other than I now need to decide what outfit not to take! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare puppycanducruise Posted October 24, 2013 #9 Share Posted October 24, 2013 We were on 11 day Eurodam cruise in May - only 2 formal nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
startwin Posted October 24, 2013 #10 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I don't remember. I will try to find that thread. I found the post - I just don't know how to do the link to it, so cut and pasted it instead: So all the paperwork said 2 formal nights...and now that we're onboard they've told us it is 3. Not happy about that because we would have packed differently, but it is what it is. From djhsolara, on Oct 18th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ineke Posted October 24, 2013 #12 Share Posted October 24, 2013 We're on a Collector's Cruise on the Eurodam over New Year's, which is the equivalent of 2 7 day cruises. Wonder what we should expect for formal nights - I was thinking 4? Two in each segment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kakalina Posted October 24, 2013 #14 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Just checked and our 25 day collector's cruise has only 6 formal nights. Very strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOPPERTESTER Posted October 24, 2013 #15 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Last year (Dec 2012) on Noordam 10 day there were two formal nights (with associate pomp & circumstance) and a third "optional" formal night with all the Photogs out in strength. Nothing special in MDR, just an opportunity for photos. The daily ship info listed it as optional. Wonder if that is what is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
