Which nights are formal?

[chewie8008]

Boarding the Carnival Dream on Apr 26th. Wondering where I can find out which nights are formal dining? I heard Sundays and Thursdays, is that correct?

[Roberta Rader]

I would like to know the answer to that as well. We are sailing on the Dream on August 2. I seriously doubt one of the formal nights is Sunday though since that is embarkation day and often passengers haven't had all of their luggage delivered to their stateroom in time for dinner.

They are never the first or last (except 2 day cruises) or consecutive nights.

The first one is normally the first sea day. This is usually the 2nd night on most 7 day cruises. The 2nd one is typically the last sea day but not always. They can vary from ship to ship and depend on the length of the cruise.

The formal nights will be on your sea days.

I don't think that will be the case on our cruise as we have 3 sea days: Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday. Saturday is out since it's the last night of the cruise and they never have 2 consecutive formal nights, so it can't be both Monday and Tuesday.

We have 3 sea days...

I'm guessing Monday and Friday based on that information. Figured they'd have it set in stone and published in our paperwork before the cruise.

Those are the 2 nights I was betting on but wasn't sure.

Was Sunday embarkation day for you guys?

They were Monday and Friday on our Dream cruise last week!

For us it was first sea day and Cozumel night we had the Montego Bay, Grand Cayman, Cozumel itinerary.

The day of the week will be different depending on which day your cruise departs.

[chewie8008]

Ok, so then it's not limited to only sea days. Thank you.

Not always. I've had cruise elegant nights on port days several times. Each cruise is different.

[chewie8008]

May call Carnival, see what they say.

[VacaLovers2]

I was on the Dream last April and our formal days were on the first sea day and the last sea day.

 

Loved that ship and have a great time!

Your cruise elegant nights will be on Monday April 27th, and Friday May 1st.

 

Enjoy your cruise! :)

[chewie8008]

I'll take that. Thanks for everyone's help!

There are no formal nights on CCL ships. There are "elegant" nights for those that even care. The majority are of the "I don't care" or "this is MY vacation, so I'll dress however I want" and show up in shorts and flip flops. (sarcasm off)

[chewie8008]

Yeah, we planned to do khakis/slacks and a nice button up w dress shoes.
