Just booked 4 day Caribbean on Caribbean Princess.  Is there a formal night?

There will be one formal night.

We take a 4 day California Coastal to Ensenada every year  and have never seen a formal night

You are so correct.  No formal night on cruises under 5 days.
 

I apologize for the misinformation in my prior post.

If you check your cruise personalizer it tells you how many causal nights

Instead of a formal night, they usually designate one night as "dress to impress." It's not a real formal night, but you'll see a few couples dressed up to take photos around the places the staff have set up.

As mentioned above, they call it a "dress to impress" night. Some people will bring the extra clothing but most wear casual clothing & enjoy the DR just as well.

From Princess info:

 

Length of Cruise Number of Formal Evenings
1 - 4 Days = 0
5 - 6 Days = 1
7 - 13 Days = 2
14 - 20 Days = 3
21 - 28 Days = 4
29+ Days = 5 Minimum

Thanks all. Don't usually do short cruises Unless it's followed by another cruise but just lost my favorite cruise partner (mom) after a long difficult illness.  She was a milestone Princess cruiser who took me on my first cruise (on the Caribbean Princess) in 2004 or 5.  I know I have said this before  but the formal night photos throughout the years are treasured.  I want to leave some for my children.

So sorry for your loss.  🙏
