white night options

[uktog]

Just curious! Do you also need to wear white pants?

 

Again absolutely no, and for ladies absolutely no need to wear a white dress!

 

Just go and enjoy whatever you are wearing :)

I brought a white dress. now have 3 and pick one ofr each cruise. but s0ome show up in black.

 

It's the old NY thing, some of us don't wear white period.

Minor exception would be a crisp white shirt!

if you plan on dancing a dress is much cooler but i wear whatever as long as i am in white.

That's me. I do have one cool, white shirt/jacket that I bought to keep the sun off in SE Asia. That will have to do.

Why go on a cruise where you immediately want to avoid something?

Thank you for helping me solve the white night dressing code.

[Holidays galore]

This may be a really silly question because the information is probably very prominent somewhere......but what is a White Night? What dies it entail, and is there a certain dress code?

[MrMojoRisin]

White night is basically a deck party with barbecue. No dress code but you are gently encouraged to wear something white (but no compulsion at all). Usually great fun.

what is a White Night?

There's a section on White Nights:

POOLSIDE PARTIES

 

Don’t think of missing Azamara’s famous poolside buffet and party, held at least once on every cruise (weather permitting). Colorful décor and linen-draped tables, a fabulous buffet feast, and boutique wines on the house make this an event like no other. Dance late into the night as the live band kicks in after dinner.

 

We'll be on our first AZ cruise in November (SIN-HKG) - I have a white dress somewhere (knee length tank style - easy to pack!) and my husband has some beige/white seersucker shorts and a white fishing shirt - he'll be bringing most of his wicking shirts for this trip so we'll manage to put together something light & white(ish) for the party :-)

We had a wonderful White Night on Journey in March.

They do an incredible job turning the pool deck into a full dining area in no time at all.

Food was good and the crew go out of their way to make this a special event. I would not miss White Night on future cruises. Great food, music, crew and friends.

No cruiseline does this better IMHO. It is very upscale.

Will be on Quest this year and will for sure be at White Night.

Do they ever have White Night at sea?

I have only been at ones when the ship is docked but our next cruise has only a few late evenings in port and the last night is overnight in Venice so only a few nights suitable for the event. On our last cruise someone told us that they have White Nights at sea but I think that could be difficult and windy!

Anybody been at one at sea?

Just a head's up, the MDR usually serves Surf and Turf on the evening of the White night.

According to Heike this is a deliberate policy.

It was St Maarten but I can't remember if we stayed overnight or sailed after the party....:confused:

[spw1947]

Not sure if this counts, but our White Night was as we sailed out of Mumbai...lovely.

 

Where did the tradition originate? Is it related to some rule about not wearing white after Labor Day, not that i know when Labor Day is in the US.

Very rarely, but we did one at sea on a TA from Malaga to Rio a few years ago. Captain Carl slowed the ship to reduce wind on deck and it was lovely. The only late port night was the one in Rio and people wanted to enjoy the city and not stay on board.
