Hi everyone...

A return to Royal Caribbean after a few years and cannot remember.... how many formal nights on a 12 night cruise?

Also .... Do most people dress up? I'd like to know how many "Posh Frocks" to pack!

As if I wasn't already stressed enough about formal night - would a 15yo boy need a tux? Someone casually mentioned a 'white night' - is that a thing?

No one needs a tux. If there is a white night, it is an optional thing that a small minority of guests participate in. The 15-year old would be fine in casual clothes, which include long pants.

Thank you - I just need to take a chill pill ;-)

Isn't that cruise 11 nights? If so then it's only 2 formal nights.

Just returned from the July 4th sailing of the same cruise.

 

2 formal nights, 1 white night and 1 red night.

 

Formal night for men and boys, slacks with collared shirt (polo or button up) would suffice.

I am traveling with my 15 year old too on this cruise. What other tips can you give since you just sailed with them?

Here's a link to my live report while we were sailing.

If you have other questions, I'll try to help.

Katakolon (Olympia) meh,, Ruins were great (until we reached other sites)

Crete I enjoyed it. We did a Monestary and Wine tour with samples of wine and food.

 

Mykonos - Very windy. We went to Delos. The ruins and history and on going dig was very nice

 

Santorini - No way were we going to climb those steps, ride the donkeys, or take the cable car up to the towns. We just did a catamaran sail around the caldera. The only swim time for us. Water is NOT Caribbean warm but still nice. Included wine and a meal cooked on the boat. Music and dancing of course.

 

Kusadasi Turkey - We went to Ephesus - Just amazing ruins and artifacts

 

Athens - I can now say I've seen the Acropolis and the Parthanon. The heat and the crowds??? never again.

 

For my wife and I, this was a cultural and historical cruise.

The kids that were your sons age, (and there were a lot of them), they seemed to enjoy the first part of the day,,, then the kid in them would take over. (Not in a bad way. Just the attention span considering they were looking at a bunch of old rocks)

Thanks so much!
