Elegant Nights on 8-Day Cruise Starting with Two Port Days?

[TravelScholar]

I am on the Magic for her 20 July 2019 sailing from Port Everglades. This is the first week-long cruise I've taken on Carnival that doesn't begin with a sea day. Instead, we start with two port days: Half Moon Cay and Grand Turk.

 

When will the elegant nights be? Is it always the 2nd night of the cruise? Or is it always the night of the first sea day?

 

Here's the complete itinerary:

Sat - Fort Lauderdale

Sun - Half Moon Cay

Mon - Grand Turk

Tue - At Sea

Wed - Aruba

Thu - Curaçao

Fri - At Sea

Sat - At Sea

Sun - Fort Lauderdale

 

I am trying to decide which nights to book at the Steakhouse, as I'd like to avoid doing so on the first elegant night.

Elegant nights aren't always on a sea day. 

 

Your 2 elegant nights should be Sunday (Half Moon Cay) and Friday (at sea)

 

We're on the same itinierary next month. 😄

From what I've heard on the forums, book the Steakhouse the first night for a complimentary bottle of wine.

The complimentary bottle of wine they offer is not very good, and I am not very picky when it comes to wine.  The better offer in my opinion is they offer 50% of a bottle of wine. Of course if you have Cheers, it is best to order wine by the glass.
