Wj420 Posted November 9, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 9, 2015 For many of us this is great news. As so many have discussed, due to the limitations of baggage when flying this makes more sense. It's much more sensible to approach dress code this way. The article is in the news section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barwick Cruiser Posted November 9, 2015 #2 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Just read the article and 'evening chic' sounds like the same requirements as 'smart casual'...what's the difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Cruise Junky Posted November 9, 2015 #4 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Just read the article and 'evening chic' sounds like the same requirements as 'smart casual'...what's the difference? Dockers and a button down would be smart casual. Evening Chic would be your black pants, beautiful purple shirt and a waistcoat....Just an example, I don't expect you to run to Banana Republic for a purple shirt :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianDee Posted November 9, 2015 #5 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I also like this news, though it won't affect us. My husband and granddaughter will still dress to the nines and expect me to follow suit. I'm the only one who doesn't care for formal night in our family and I'm easily bullied into compliance. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare chemmo Posted November 9, 2015 #6 Share Posted November 9, 2015 For us ladies it will still be our posh frock night. Certainly gives the males a bit more flexibility. Tempted not to let my husband and son see this, I do love seeing them dressed up in their suits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warmwinds Posted November 9, 2015 #9 Share Posted November 9, 2015 "no ripped jeans". So that means ripped jeans are ok on other nights in the MDR? Wow. While we're past the tuxedo and gown days, I think this is way, way too lax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandancer Posted November 9, 2015 #12 Share Posted November 9, 2015 A couple of weeks ago I posted that I had heard a rumour that Celebrity was giving up on Formal Nights. The subject rapidly turned into yet another 'dress code' discussion and the thread was, quite rightly, closed by the moderators. Now today we hear that the rumour becomes fact and from December those special nights will become 'Chic' rather than formal. I expect we will now hear from all those who will be happy to see the back of formal and also those who regret it. Personally, I liked dressing up and will still do so. Chic or Formal, still special nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHEZMARYLOU Posted November 9, 2015 #15 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I received an email about this from Celebrity. The link to learn more takes me to FAQ where the number of formal nights is still listed. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafig Posted November 9, 2015 #16 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I'm happy. But Our cruise is this coming Saturday on Reflection. Wish the switchover was earlier. I'll still bring my formal. DH was deciding between his tux or a suit. I'll tell him suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaliMakai Posted November 9, 2015 #17 Share Posted November 9, 2015 1st time on Celebrity, was actually looking forward to getting my man back in a jacket and tie. (Good photo op). He just called me at work and said the check my email.....he was doing the happy dance that he did not have to wear his jacket. Oh well, he has some nice taylored shirts and pants that he has wore on past cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy 2 b cruising Posted November 9, 2015 #18 Share Posted November 9, 2015 For us ladies it will still be our posh frock night. Certainly gives the males a bit more flexibility. Tempted not to let my husband and son see this, I do love seeing them dressed up in their suits! Two years ago we were on RCI Liberty OF THE Seas during Thanksgiving week. People came into the MDR in the evenings in short shorts with holes and bathing suit apparel. We switched our Family Thanksgiving cruise to Celebrity where people know how to dress appropriately. With this new relaxed dress code for formal night (which is fine with me) I am really hoping not to see anyone admitted to the various restaurants on other evenings in cut off short shorts, tanks tops and flip flops.

I suspect that you'll be ok wearing the new order of dress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzinram Posted November 9, 2015 #20 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I also just received this email. If you click on the link that says learn more, it still list the number of formal nights by length of the cruise. Per the email: Evening Chic evolutions include Sipping destination-inspired drinks at the new Captains Reception Rubbing elbows with Senior Officers (including the Captain) at new officer hosted tables Glamming it up with a spa makeover (Facebook profile update check!) Evening Chic sailing departing December 4 and beyond. So, what does this mean??? DW just bought a new dress for formal night on our upcoming Dec 6 sailing.

BosoxI Posted November 9, 2015 #21 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I'm happy.But Our cruise is this coming Saturday on Reflection. Wish the switchover was earlier. I'll still bring my formal. DH was deciding between his tux or a suit. I'll tell him suit. If I'm going to take a suit, I'll take a tux. Same difference in packing and every man looks better in a tux than an other attire he could wear. Trouble for me is the space in the suitcase. We've got three in a row coming up and my wife likes to dress up. So do I, but those darn weight restrictions are killing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algebralovr Posted November 9, 2015 #22 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I am thrilled! DH can wear his tux if he wants, but the Caribbean is where we are spending our next few vacations, and it is a little more than really necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So next month's cruise unfortunately, will definitely be the last with celebrity:mad: You can still wear your formal attire if you want. However even Oceania and Azamara don't have formal nights.
