Suziefloozie Posted June 6, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Help please, we cruise next week and i cannot find any info on what clothes to pack? Are there still formal nights? I’ve heard so many say that a collared shirt and long trousers are now accepted as formal, is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catl331 Posted June 6, 2018 #2 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Help please, we cruise next week and i cannot find any info on what clothes to pack? Are there still formal nights? I’ve heard so many say that a collared shirt and long trousers are now accepted as formal, is this true?They are now just called Gala nights, and yes, the minimum for men is a collared shirt and long pants ... same as any other night. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fouremco Posted June 6, 2018 #3 Share Posted June 6, 2018 You should have received a document titled Know Before You Go. It includes the following information regarding dress: CLOTHING Most evenings smart casual attire is appropriate. Shorts, pool/beachwear, distressed jeans and men’s tank tops are best left to the daytime and are not permitted in fine dining restaurants. Gala Nights evoke the grand traditions of cruising as guests dress to impress for special events on board, including a five-course gourmet dinner in the Dining Room. For gentlemen, collared shirt and slacks are required in all fine dining restaurants . For ladies, dressy attire is appropriate, dresses skirts and slacks are all acceptable.

ger_77 Posted June 6, 2018 #4 Share Posted June 6, 2018 If you want to glam up, go for it, but if you choose to dress just a little, that's fine, too. Smooth Sailing! :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MajMom96 Posted June 7, 2018 #8 Share Posted June 7, 2018 There’s a pamphlet called “Know Before You Go” on the HAL website. It contains a lot of useful information and specifics on clothing are on page 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlsSalt Posted June 7, 2018 #10 Share Posted June 7, 2018 What you need to pack, or what you want to pack? Two different approaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted June 7, 2018 #11 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Pack for the weather and your activities! Daytimes are swimsuits and shorts....in warm climes! For dinner you'll want long pants and collared shirts (men)...women can wear anything but shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimnKaren Posted June 7, 2018 #14 Share Posted June 7, 2018 And...make sure that things are not too snug at home. Won't work in a week or so. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlsSalt Posted June 7, 2018 #15 Share Posted June 7, 2018 And...make sure that things are not too snug at home. Won't work in a week or so. Jim Ha, ha. I took a somewhat "snug" dress this last time that I intentionally wore the very first night, knowing that it would most likely not work any time thereafter. Loved it the first night - why bother using a scale when one's own clothes don't lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
