AlC Posted July 8, 2004 #1 Share Posted July 8, 2004 I need some help................real quick. Am totally confused as to dress code for Bermuda itinerary on Zenith, sailing this Saturday. So far I have been told the following: 1) By the Captain's Cub - 2 Formal, 2 Informal, 3 Casual; 2) By Celebrity customer service - 2 Formal, 1 Informal, 4 Casual; 3) A fellow cruiser - 2 Formal, 5 Casual Can anyone just back from Zenith please set me straight....we're almost finished packing and do not want to have start over. Thanks, Al C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marco Posted July 8, 2004 #3 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Don't fret. Either way, there are 2 formal evenings. Everyone pretty much agrees on what attire is appropriate. "Casual" and "Informal" kind of blend into each other and what you might consider informal, I would consider casual and vise versa. I think as long as you don't twirl into the room with a 6 ft train of silk with pearls embroidered on it and diamond tierra on your head on a casual/informal evening, you'll be fine!

AlC Posted July 8, 2004 Author #4 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Marco, Thanks for the reply..........i'm one of those sticklers for the dress code so my tux is packed......but when I heard there were no informal nights I thought it would be fun to dress down, so to speak..........

hdawson Posted July 8, 2004 #5 Share Posted July 8, 2004 I've always found on Celebrity one or two informal (semi-formal) nights. I would suggest packing a sport coat or blazer. Ties are optional now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marco Posted July 9, 2004 #6 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Ok, I guess my response would be more appropriate for your female traveling companion. I don't think anyone would want to see YOU in the lounge wth a 6 ft train embroidered with pearls and a diamond tiarra on your head, even on formal night. At any rate, informal, shirt (with or with out a tie) and jacket. Casual, maybe less dressy trousers and a golf shirt (or buttondown sport shirt). Sometimes, because of the A/C, having that sportjacket with you even on casual nights is not a bad idea. I'm sure you'll be fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuggers Posted July 9, 2004 #7 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Not in MY world! And not on X's, either! This is the most misunderstood style of dress. Informal means semi-formal which does not mean casual. You wouldn't show up on Informal night with capris or khaki's and a polo! It's more a blazer and tailored pants and a dressy outfit for women. Like going to church used to be. :) And aren't all 7 night cruises on X 2, 2 and 3? Formal, Informal and Casual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marco Posted July 9, 2004 #8 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Maybe so, but on my last "X" cruise (January - 10 nights) on "Informal" night, I saw lots of sports coats, maybe a half dozen ties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spender Nui Posted July 10, 2004 #9 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Off the Horizon to Bermuda last week. 2 formals, 1 informal and 4 casual. I'd estimate 20% or less tuxes. I've stopped taking a tux and now use a dark suit for formals. I now take a contrasting pair of slacks and wear them with the suit jacket which now does double duty. Cuts down drastically on luggage (which I don't like to lug anymore) and although there was a time I'd feel uncomfortable dressing this way I feel fine now.

anteldel Posted July 12, 2004 #10 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Hi, There were 2 formals, 1 semi-formal and 4 casuals. Mon & thurs were formal. btw, the corkage fee is $20 now. The wine steward didn't bother charging us in lieu of a tip at the end. Have a great Time!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
