Carnival Paradise Formal Evening?

[BeautifulDisaster30]

We will be on the 5 day cruise may 30th, I'm just curious about the formal night, has anyone been on paradise recently that could tell me about it? How dressy is it? Can the kids attend, if so do they need to be dressy also? What night is formal night or elegant night ( whichever it's called) any info would be greatly appreciated, as this is our first cruise!

It is the same on all Carnival ships. "Elegant" night is for the MDR and of course children are allowed to eat there with their families! On Carnival the only thing required is slacks/long pants and a shirt with a collar.

Everything else is up to you! IF you want your family dressed up more then tell them what you wish and have the clothes available for them. Some folks wear suits/ties/ dresses(some even long gowns)but it is not required. My husband just wears slacks and a nice shirt.

Formal night would be the 1st sea day which would be May 31. Kids can eat with there families and dress up as always.

Thank you for the info, forgive me if the questions sounded stupid, this is our first cruise and I was nervous lol getting dh to get in a suit and tie is impossible unless there's been a death.

No worries! My DH took off his jacket and tie when he retired and hasn't worn one since! I don't think he'd dress up for a funeral as the deceased wouldn't know the difference!!
