beachfanatic Posted June 20, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 20, 2017 New to Cunard. Would women's maxi dresses be appropriate for non-formal nights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillylovesseabourn Posted June 21, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Yes if they are smart ones, and not the beach cover up type ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey1950 Posted June 22, 2017 #3 Share Posted June 22, 2017 If you check out the shopping channel called "Evine" and watch for a brand called "One World" you will see some great dresses at very reasonable prices. I have many and wore one to work yesterday and one of the Manager's commented on how classy it looked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenny wren Posted June 25, 2017 #4 Share Posted June 25, 2017 We have just returned from 15 nights on QM2 and I wore maxi dresses on non formal nights, also black silky wide trousers with various tops....the dress is not as formal as we anticipated....even on formal nights there were many men in lounge suits and ties (mostly American I think) possibly if they have luggage restrictions because of flying they leave their dinner suits at home!

Hi jenny wren. A lounge suit on this side of the pond would be considered a business suit. I think that meets the dress code ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenny wren Posted June 26, 2017 #6 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I wasn't saying that it didn't meet the dress code!! I was surprised though how many lounge suits/business suits there were! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jenny, I think this was your first Cunard cruise? Could it be you have been reading the Cunard board and have taken as gospel how rigidly formal Cunard is in their approach to the dress code rather than advice from those [me for example] who try to give a realistic view rather than the aspirational one some members want to encourage? Cunard does have a more formal approach to the dress code in the evening than most of the other lines and that suits us down to the ground but dark business suits are perfectly acceptable wear on an actual formal night and no, not by a long shot are all the ladies dressed in wonderful gowns and fabulous cocktail dresses. Just well dressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
