Formal Night on Carib.Princess

[JanC]

I know this question has been beaten with a stick, but just one more, ok? My hubby does not enjoy dressing up for formal night even though it is only two nights out of his cruise. However, it is his vacation too, and if he doesn't want to dress up, that is ok also. Plus, less clothes to pack. Here is my question. In the dining room on the Carib. Princess, on formal night, would he be ok wearing a sport jacket and dockers, or is that too casual?? I know we can eat in our room, at the Horizon buffet etc, but for those people that have sailed the CP, what did you see in the dining room on formal night? Thanks!!

 

WooHoo, cruisin' again in May 2004!

Just got off Carib. Princess last Saturday. I saw several people wearing Khakis and a blazer with no tie and they weren't turned away.

There are many on the boards who would correctly argue that khaki's and a jacket isn't formal. I would submit that it is formal enough for the pax and crew most of the time.

 

I was on Diamond 9 days ago, wore my new Tux, was in the distict minority (but it made her happy) about 80% of men were in suits or sports coats/slacks, no one paid the slightest attention, some men were in just a nice collared shirt, again, the people on the ship didn't care, an attribute not always shared by those of us on the boards.

 

He will be FINE, enjoy and stop hitting this horse :0

On a somewhat related note, I noticed walking through the Horizon Court one night that a number of items on the buffet were off the dining room menu. Can you always get a subset of the regular menu in the Horizon Court?

Subset is a unigue way to put it, but yes, some adds, some deletions but similar.

On my recent Sun Princess cruise, the dress guidelines were more closely enforced and I have seen people turned away from the dining room in the recent past for not being dressed properly - thank God.

 

So, I always say you take your chances...

Hi,

Just off the CP. My DH doesn't like to dress up either. So, we skipped one formal(first) night and ate at the Caribe cafe(to the rear of the Horizon court) and feasted on Caribbean Rock lobster, King Crab Claws, Shrimp, scallops, and oysters.

It was dubbed a seafood feast.. Altho the staff were dress in tux's, the passengers were dressed very informal....Loved it!
