Alaska formal nights

[copi2boys]

I know it isn't formal night anymore - although actually saw quite a few tuxes on our last cruise in January - are there any on Alaska cruises and if so, how many?  Thank you.

Yes there are chic nights.  How long is the cruise?

I would guess from our last Alaska cruise that fewer than 10% of men were in Tux.   About another 10-20% Dark Suits and/or Sports Jackets.    I find Alaska cruises to more casual than European and Med cruises.

Despite the fact that we live in Alaska we have done several Alaska cruises on Celebrity ships as it gives us an excuse to visit another part of our very large state.  I think there is no doubt about it -- Alaska itineraries are definitely more casual in dress than any other Celebrity itinerary we have done.

More important on Alaska cruises to bring layered clothes than worry about chic nights.

As others have said two evening chic nights that apply only to the Main Dining Room, usually day 2 and day 6.

We're on the 8 night cruise next May,  I'm not worried about the chic nights as I'm guessing those will be on sea days, (plus we're in blu)  but on the port days, how are most ladies dressed for dinner?  Do most just wear their daytime clothing?  I'm thinking most days I'll be in pants tucked into boots with long sleeved tees & vests, will you see a lot of that in the evening?  Thanks !

On our Alaska Cruise I didn’t see the daytime clothes  you described in the MDR.  It seemed that most changed to more smart casual attire.

People did not wear their day clothes for dinner.  However, it was rather informal and not particularly dressy.  There were hardly any tux or fancy suits.  Dress code called for long sleeve shirts for the men in the restaurants.  It was on the front page every day....

Agreed, most people changed from their daytime attire, or at least removed several layers to make them look different!

Thanks for the helpful replies, I'll adjust my clothing for dinner time :)

 

I reread what I posted, & realized I described my clothing as a lot more casual/sloppy than it is,  the boots are really nice tall leather boots that I've worn to dinner on quite a few Celebrity cruises,   I'll swop out my down vest for a cashmere sweater at night & I think I'll be good to go.

You will be perfectly dressed!  Enjoy!
