ourlol Posted February 7, 2007 #1 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I've just nipped over from the Princess board... hoping, if I may, to pick your brains. Relatives of mine (from the UK) are about to go on their first cruise ~ the 2/28 sailing on Carnival Legend. We were discussing dress code in general and my cousin wondered whether she and her husband would look out of place wearing full formal attire on the two formal nights? By this she means a long dress for herself and Tux for her husband. Will they be in the minority? If I look at Princess then I would say that would be fine, but having never experienced a Carnival cruise I'm at a loss as to how I should answer. All advice greatly appreciated. Many thanks Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoinCruisin Posted February 7, 2007 #2 Share Posted February 7, 2007 No, they will not feel out of place... most men in our group wear tuxes on formal night, and the ladies wear anything from nice cocktail to full length gowns... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks Laura Hi Laura, from my experiences on Carnival in the past, neither one of you would look out of place on formal nights. Although suits outnumber tuxes, there are people who will wear tuxes, so he won't be the only one. You'll probably see more women wearing long dresses as well.

amydoodle Posted February 7, 2007 #4 Share Posted February 7, 2007 If they want to fully dress up for both formal nights, I say go for it. They will find that some people will and some people won't. I've been on Carnival before and for the semi-formal night (cocktail attire), there were people dressed very formally and others night. If they enjoy doing that, then by all means dress up. It is so much fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not "out of place" tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L&J Posted February 7, 2007 #9 Share Posted February 7, 2007 We just got off the Conquest and I was actually surprised at how formal the formal night was. Personally, I thought it was fun to dress up and was pleased at how many others had their best duds on too. Go for the tux, or suits are fine too. Most ladies were in long gowns.

GORDONCHICK Posted February 7, 2007 #12 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I think they will be fine in what you describe. Personally, I would always want to be in the better dressed category than not meeting the dresscode. If you're going to stand out, do it in a good way!
