Whirled Peas Posted June 22, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I am on the QM2 westbound crossing beginning Aug. 31. We have three balls listed: Black and White, Roaring 20s, and a third that is merely listed as a "formal" evening. From my limited experience (1 prior crossing) and what I have read on here, I take that to mean that there is no theme for the formal ball, other than dressing elegantly. Given that you have the same balls listed as me, is it possible that you are on the same crossing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemarble Posted June 22, 2017 #3 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I concur with what Whirled Peas has stated. A crossing on QM2 typically does have three formal nights with two of those formal nights corresponding to themed balls in the Queens Room while the remaining formal night is usually not themed.

TheOldBear Posted June 23, 2017 #4 Share Posted June 23, 2017 For our roundtrip, both legs have a 'black and white' ball, an un-themed formal night plus masquerade [eastbound leg] and roaring 20's [westbound leg] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't bother about the masquerade ball, but I'm toying with doing something about the roaring 20's. Does anyone know how much attention the roaring 20's theme gets?

Rare LadyL1 Posted June 23, 2017 #7 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I have the same combination. I don't bother about the masquerade ball, but I'm toying with doing something about the roaring 20's. Does anyone know how much attention the roaring 20's theme gets? We have been on quite a few trips with the Roaring Twenties theme, and it seems to be that it is becoming evermore popular! Very easy to comply with if you want: white silk scarf for the gent, flapper dress for the lady (if adventurous) or just long pearls and gloves and the simple black dress, with possible hair accessories. I think it is worth joining in with the evening; it is part of the atmosphere. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmike911 Posted June 29, 2017 #8 Share Posted June 29, 2017 The white silk scarf is a terrific idea. Thank you Lady L. Easy to pack too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abefroman329 Posted June 29, 2017 #10 Share Posted June 29, 2017 We don't plan to wear anything special to the balls; in fact, those very well be the nights we dine at the buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnevale Posted July 6, 2017 #13 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I like the big balls. We do too! We are putting together our 1920s outfits and are having fun with it; same for the Starlight Ball we will have on our sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skillies Posted July 6, 2017 #14 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Masquerade ball is the easiest. Just use a masque. Easy to pack. See you all. We"re on the round trip from Southampton on 14 September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
