Vagabond Knight Posted February 17 #1 Share Posted February 17 I used to have a better feel for this, but we've been bopping around multiple cruise lines over the past year and I think I'm getting them confused. Looking to book some specialty dining for our upcoming cruise, but can't remember the rules of thumb for which nights Celebrity plans the fancy dress / fancy food nights. Itinerary is as follows: 1 Depart 2 At Sea 3 Port Day 4 At Sea 5 At Sea 6 Port Day 7 Port Day 8 Port Day 9 At Sea 10 Arrive Back Home Thanks in advance! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahasamatman Posted February 18 #5 Share Posted February 18 Day 8 will depend on when the ship leaves the port. I've never seen a chic night on a port day if the ship leaves after 7pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark_K Posted February 18 #7 Share Posted February 18 Have you looked through the app, day by day? Seems like it used to show up there, somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The app, just like the apps for all the other cruise lines, isn't very useful until you get onboard and connect to the ship's wi-fi, and then it starts populating all the info.

Arizona Wildcat Posted February 18 #9 Share Posted February 18 And when time do you leave port on Day 7? If that is at 6pm or earlier, then chic night just as likely to be then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even as far back as when we first started cruising (1991) and it was called Formal Evenings. Edited February 19 by doghog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally they do them on sea days, so passengers are not rushed from the port to get back to get all fancied up, but since you last night is a sea day, I have a feeling one of the port days will be a dress up day. I know on a 7 night or longer you get 2 dress up nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagabond Knight Posted February 19 Author #15 Share Posted February 19 It sure would be nice if the cruise lines would send out a schedule of major events a few weeks before the cruise, to include items like which nights you should plan to dress up, and what themed parties will be taking place (and when). Many groups plan meet-ups, others want to reserve specialty dining, and it would be nice to know what those plans might be overlapping. It can also be disappointing to guests when they board a cruise unaware of and unprepared for events like a 70s party, when they would have really enjoyed bringing an appropriate outfit along had they only known.
