Typical Formal Night Schedule 12 Day cruise

[Gourmet Gal]

We’ll be on the Moon Southampton to Lisbon in Sept. and probably want to book non-formal venues on the formal nights.  Right now there’s no indication of formal nights on the itinerary on My SS.  Will the icons appear when it’s time to reserve or can anyone help me make an educated guess?  Are there usually two or three formal nights on this length cruise?  There’s one sea day.

Hi Gourmet Gal,

 

There's a 98% chance that the first formal night will be the second night on board, no matter the voyage.

 

Expect another one 6-8 nights in, on an evening when you won't be in port. That will likely also be the Venetian Society reception. Not sure if there would be a 3rd.

 

I've been able to guess successfully within these parameters 🙂

That’s very helpful.  I think I can do a good guestimate.

 

Thanks!

Yes. At a minimum, the first and last night are ALWAYS casual.
