When is formal nights?

[phabric]

On my 7 day cruises -

Cruise #1

embarkment, sea,  port 8-5,  port 8-10,  port 8-6,  port 7-4,  sea,  disembarkment 

I think it will be first sea,  port 7-4.  What do you think?

 

Cruise #2

embarkment, sea,  port 10-6,  port 7-4,  port 9-5,  port 10-6,  sea,  disembarkment 

I think it will be first sea,  port 7-4 or  port 9-5.  What do you think?

#1 - AGREE

#2 - AGREE - the 4pm departure day.

Formal nights are usually sea nights and never the last night (usually) since you have your bags packed for debarkation the nest day.

 

Kind of a bummer to the formal night that soon and not in the middle of the cruise.

The wouldn't normally setup B2B FN's in the middle of a short cruise.  The first sea day (Night 2) is quite normal and logical as it the Captain's Welcome Aboard night.

it's been awhile since I've been on a cruise shorter than 14 nights. I think my last 7 night was seven or eight years ago.

#2 - I suspect the 5 PM departure day as the 4 PM departure day is too close to the first formal evening.

Perhaps, but I have had two formal dinner nights with one day in between.  Also, the 5pm departure time is right at the early dinner time.  Hard to know for sure until one sees the embarkation Patter.

Agree with what you mentioned. At some point the actual schedule will be shown in the Medallion App.

What type of dress style is recommended for men?

[neverbeenhere]

Muzzle.

 P L they have this in your size

the 2nd formal night is 'make-up' picture night - like in high school for the yearbook

A skirt should at least cover the knees.

We have Sail/Sea/12-8/8-6/7-5/Sea/Sea/Disembark

 

So I am guessing first and second Sea Day. Right ?

Second night aboard seems soon but no better way to fit two nights in, no reason to use a Port day.

I would assume you are correct.

Unless it's a kilt, then the kilt skirt may leave the knees exposed. I do love to see a fine kilt!

Correct.  The second night of the trip is quite popular on Princess voyages if the itinerary allows because it is the Captain's Welcome Aboard theme night.

Usually the first full day at sea. This is subject to change by Captain's orders.

This is when one wears polished patent leather shoes to actually see what's under that kilt. Or shoe mirrors like Pee Wee Herman used.

I would not try that trick on a member of one of the Highland Regiments.
