Formal Nights

Once the Navigator is out of dry dock when do you think the formal nights will be? Want to make specialty restaurants reservations but do not want to miss the formal nights in main dining room.

You can pretty much bet the farm that the first formal night will be night two. The second formal night seems to be either night 5 or night 6 depending on ship and itinerary and of course being a 7 night cruise. I have no idea about longer cruises.

 

One thing you can always count on is that formal night will likely never be your first night on board or the last night on board.

That's right....the 1st formal night is always night 2.

Usually true, however we have been on more than one cruise where the first formal night was night 3 or 4. Different because they were Med and South American cruises and we were in port on the second and sometimes third day. They have always been on the first sea day with the exception of 7 day Southern Caribbean cruises out of San Juan when they were on night 2, even though it was a port day.

Ive aleady enquired with RCI Cust Svc about the formal days for my sailing on 5/18. For the 7 day cruises it's the 2nd and 6th night.

Thanks everyone for your input. I'm going with the 2nd and 6th and hope it's right.
