happysinglemom Posted October 7, 2007 #126 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Yeah, I was wondering the same thing....are there that many formal nights on your cruise? If you're looking for opinions, I like the silver and red ones the best :) Only two of the dresses were truly formal (formal enough that I would only wear them on formal night) so she can certainly wear all of them. I prefer to wear dresses every night to dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindyLee Posted October 7, 2007 #127 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Here's the dress I plan on wearing for formal night. I wore it once to an outdoor evening wedding. But, that's not me! I also plan on bringing some nice black pants and a dressy top, as well as a cocktail dress. I'll be able to wear the same black dress shoes with all 3 outfits, so that will cut down on packing. I figure one of the 4 nights on our cruise we'll dress casual and do the buffets. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monakayk Posted October 7, 2007 #128 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I just bought this dress on ebay. I'm hoping it will be good for one of my formal nights. I got it for just over $11. Beautiful.....and WHAT A DEAL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albino Mosquito Posted October 8, 2007 #135 Share Posted October 8, 2007 To Albino - how many dresses are you going to wear on your cruise? All four? I am going away for a month in total, so I am thinking the white (short) one for NYE in Sydney Aus. And I am thinking of leaving the white long gown at home, and doing the silver and coral ones for the Formal Nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I am thinking of leaving the white long gown at home, and doing the silver and coral ones for the Formal Nights. I like those choices! Some silver/sparkly strappy sandaled heels would look great with any of those. I'm not sure I'd go with the black shoes you're wearing in the pics. They're nice, but they seem to destract the eye from the gowns themselves. KWIM? You're going to look beautiful!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SantaAna,CA Posted October 10, 2007 #138 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Sorry for the small picture; if you "click" on it, it does get a little larger so you can see it better. This is one of the two gowns I take with me (I will be going on a two week cruise), but the one I have is copper/brown, unlike the lighter color here. This looks sort of, oh, salmon colored, huh? It's very flattering and "forgiving" of a few extra pounds *lol*, which needs to be considered on any cruise, don't you agree? Jane:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be in the snow at a mountain lodge as always. I do get rid of the snowmobile attire and into dressy clothes for the evening though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mariemorgan Posted October 12, 2007 #144 Share Posted October 12, 2007 These are what I wore on the Mariner this sept. The black one on 1st formal night, and the blue one on 2nd formal night. That is my SIL too on 2nd formal night. I have a closet full of formal dresses for my cruises! Where'd you get the blue dress? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anaslile Posted October 14, 2007 #146 Share Posted October 14, 2007 My cruise isn't for another 6 months, but I found this dress on Ebay for a deal. I absolutely love it. Is it formal enough if worn w/a pashmina or should I continue looking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaches1117 Posted October 14, 2007 #147 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Cute dress. If it's a bargain I would definitely get it, but IMHO I think it is better suited for one of the more casual evenings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I am thinking of leaving the white long gown at home, and doing the silver and coral ones for the Formal Nights. That dress will be perfect for NYE! We were in Sydney for NYE back in 2001...we took our daughters (14 & 15 at the time) to a Black Tie affair at the InterContinental Hotel...what a blast dressing up in our formals!!! Have a great time!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great place to be,...I miss it now that we moved to Texas...we used to live in Washington State! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
