Thanks guys - yeah i personally have done the long prom gown type dresses and wanted something a little more "cruisey". I bought this for a wedding and it cost $299 pre tax - so i needed a big excuse to wear it again!

Alll my bathing suit coverups / daytime outfits are dresses as well, most are trendy and cute - some with patterns and some without. It's the easiest way to go. Actually come to think of it, I am ONLY bringing dresses - one for every night of the cruise (some casual, mini's, long - all types!!) It makes everything very simple including packing!

I can't find a pic of my second formal night dress but it is also similar to this with a green and white leafy pattern.

Here's the dress I wore on my last cruise. Purchased at Lord & Taylor after Prom/Wedding Season two weeks prior to sailing. :D

beautiful dresses!

 

we're cruising in Dec.; thought i could wear my MOG dress (mother of groom). Kids had a Xmas wedding last year, i went with a long black stretchy tank dress; velveteen?; with matching jacket embossed in gold design/sparkly.

 

worried it might be too "hot" for western cruise?

 

2nd formal is tea length double layered with pink embroidered mini-butterflies & matching shawl, a georgette material.

 

Unsure of other nights though...last cruise (DCL) women dressed VERY casual - mostly capris & tank tops on non-formal nights; felt very overdressed:confused: .

 

Just picked up a cap sleeve gloria vanderbilt black/white print, so glad they're back out - such a flattering style. Taking it and slinky pantsuit/sexy camisole & a few dressy skirts & tops for other dinners.

 

Guess i'll pack some dressy capris too jik?

They all look great, I haven't worn a long dress in a while and wondered if cocktail would be more suitable, but judging from photos so far, I will be alright in my long black with a few sparkles here and there.

 

Would you wear the full length to the formal with the captains drinks or to the second formal?

 

Thanks for all your answers and I look forward to seeing any more photos you have. :)

I wear my nicer dress to the Captains cocktail party & first formal night.

This last cuise, i worm my first full length gown with beading down the front on felt very comfy with lots of other women wearing long gowns also.

I have brought a couple of dresses for formal nights and one is long and I am still up in the air, if I am going to wear it or not, do many wear long dresses or not? Please show me what you ladies wear to formal nights.

 

Thanks:)

 

 

I've worn long dresses on both cruises...to the two dinners and the Captain's Reception...I wore satin slacks and satin top on the last cruise.

 

Sorry don't know how to post a pic.

Hey - I bought it at Nordstroms - but they also have it in Neiman Marcus or Saks - you can try ebay. The Brand is Laundry by Shelli Seigal. It's very flattering...she will love it!! Good Luck!
