Saree for Formal Night in Ruby Princess

[Desigirl2018]

Hi

 

I am an Indian and we are going on Alaska Cruise and this is our first time on a cruise.

 

There are two formal nights. I was wondering if it is ok to wear a Saree. My husband would be wearing a formal suit though.

 

Thought it would be nice to wear ethnic costume.

 

Thanks in advance.

My sister has many beautiful saree's and when we travelled the Caribbean we wore Them for formal night. They are so beautiful we received many lovely compliments. Enjoy your cruise.

I've seen Sarees many times on cruise ships. They are beautiful and perfectly appropriate.

You will be the most stunning woman in the room and everyone will compliment you.

Absolutely appropriate and a refreshing change of pace.

We have not seen national costume dress apart Kilts on Scottish gentlemen. All will be fine and will certainly nicely stand out against those few who down dress to flaunt the Princess dress code. Here we go again ! .

Agree with all the above. On several cruises we have seen ladies in their sarees, and they are stunning. I complimented two ladies and they were delighted that I did . Enjoy your cruise, so happy for you!

I've seen plenty of women wearing a saree on a cruise and on formal night. Definitely appropriate.

What a wonderful idea. Sarees are soooo gorgeous.

Absolutely wear it. On a Japanese cruise many women wore Kimonos.

Absolutely lovely and appropriate on formal night. We have seen them worn on a number of cruises for formal night, and also loved seeing the kimono worn whilst cruising Japan.

Sure, there's no reason for you not to wear a Saree. I've seen several East Indian women wearing theirs and they look elegant. I've seen men wearing kilts, Chinese women wearing their evening wear. It adds to the flavor of the evening seeing the different ethnic wears of passengers.

Live and learn. I have always thought it was spelled sari. Now I know the correct way to spell it. Anyway, yes indeed you should wear it!

[Desigirl2018]

Thanks so much everyone. I have decided to wear 2 different kinds of Sarees on the formal nights.

 

I am really excited and can't wait for May 26th.

I think (playing with this idea) Princess should uphold the formal dress requirement by having a "Formal Runway" as you enter the MDR. That would keep the jeans and tee's crowd from breaking up this tradition.

I would also believe it would appropriate for your DW to wear a Kurta or Sherwani on formal nights if he wanted.

Seen them on Cunard/Celebrity/Oceania. They look fine. On Oceania they had one black family where one of the women wore African tribal colors. I thought they really looked quite stunning. Really added a nice touch of color.

Sarees are so elegant. I'm sure you'll look stunning.

[Lucky TGO]

Absolutely you will look gorgeous.

I have seen quite a few pax wearing their native clothing. It is really nice to see it and gives an international feel to the cruise.

[puppycanducruise]

I'm sure you'll look wonderful.

Have a great cruise.

I bought one in "Little India" at embarcation in Singapore on a recent Asia cruise - had on of the Ladies from the salon who is native to India tie it for me to wear on formal night - can't tell you how many compliments I received - I loved wearing it!

[TracieABD]

I am certain you will look lovely. It is completely appropriate! I bet you get a ton of compliments!!!
