cruise'n Posted October 8, 2004 #1 Share Posted October 8, 2004 I have heard that on a 2 night cruise to nowhere there is 1 casual night and 1 formal night. Can someone verify this and please let me know what do most people wear on formal night on the 2 night cruise. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkorman Posted October 8, 2004 #2 Share Posted October 8, 2004 There is 1 formal night on any cruise over 1 night. Typical formal attire is worn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisedogs2 Posted October 8, 2004 #3 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Which 2 night cruise are you going on? We have a group on the Victory out of Norfolk, VA next weekend. The 2nd night is the formal one. Have fun! CRUISEDOGS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlake666 Posted October 8, 2004 #4 Share Posted October 8, 2004 On our 2 night cruise out of NY on the Victory, we had 1 formal night....pretty typical, but I did notice people were not dressed up as much or as nice as on a usual 7 day...VERY few gowns.

Cotton Posted October 8, 2004 #5 Share Posted October 8, 2004 There is 1 formal night on any cruise over 1 night. Typical formal attire is worn. Not necessarily. I was recently on a 2 night CTN (Sept.18), and I'm looking at a copy of the Capers: 1st night - "Casual" - no shorts, tanktops, or beachwear. 2nd night - "Smart Casual" - no shorts, tanktops, or beachwear. (However, folks were dressed anywhere from casual to formal on the second night.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted October 8, 2004 #6 Share Posted October 8, 2004 I have a copy of a ctn capers on the Victory for June 18th and it says that the second night is formal. it does also state that formal attire is requested. But since on CTN you have to carry on and off your luggage= who the heck want to cart all the formal wear with them. We are going to get dressed but not fancylike we would on a 7 day cruise/. Now the first night its stated smart casual (thursday) Ill be cruising to nowhere in two more weekends.. Ill post a dress survey when we get back.

Cotton Posted October 8, 2004 #7 Share Posted October 8, 2004 I really think that, since that CTN I took was kinda the "hurricane refugee" cruise, folks were confused. Some told me their TA or PVP had told them formal, some said they were told casual - so I'm sure it wasn't typical...and that's why they put "smart casual" in the Capers.:confused: Actually, nothing about that cruise was what I would call typical - enjoyable yes, but not the usual cruise.

serene56 Posted October 8, 2004 #8 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Cotton: did you do the cruise to nowhere on the Victory- or the one that was thrown together quickly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted October 8, 2004 #9 Share Posted October 8, 2004 No, this was on the Holiday. Got email from PVP about it on Friday and booked - headed to the port on Saturday. Thus, confusion ensued.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted October 8, 2004 #10 Share Posted October 8, 2004 ohhh, that will explain it...by a chance did you have lobster on that cruise...coz on the "real" CTC you will be served Lobster on the Formal night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted October 8, 2004 #11 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Yep, lobster tails/prime rib on the second night. They DID choose two of the best menus for the two nights, for sure. The first night was the menu with the filet mignon on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fla gang Posted October 8, 2004 #12 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Anyone got a caper from a Miracle 2 nighter? Myself , and a bunch of cousins and spouses are going on the Miracle from Tampa 11/05/2004. Hope they have the sushi at the Taste of Nations buffet like they did on the Pride.

cruise'n Posted October 8, 2004 Author #13 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Thanks for all the information! Yes, we will be on the Victory next weekend out of Norfolk (myself, my husband and another couple). We have never done a CTN so any info is much apreciated. :) Yum, lobster and prime rib! That sound so good. What time can you get on the ship? I hope the weather is good. I checked for Norfolk and it says scattered showers (72/53) for Sat. and partly cloudy (68/54) on Sun.

marly Posted October 9, 2004 #15 Share Posted October 9, 2004 I'm also on the 11/5 Miracle CTN. I'd love to know what activities they offer during the day. I'll be traveling with my parents and mother-in-law and I'm hoping to keep them busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted October 9, 2004 #16 Share Posted October 9, 2004 I have victory ones if you want to see those...send me your address to serene56@aol.com and they will be in the mail on Monday Put in the subject like Capers for the Victory. I dont think the Miracle has had a cruise to nowhere yet-- the one you are going on may be a first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marly Posted October 9, 2004 #17 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Hi Serene! Maybe I'll just make sure they all bring a good book to read! LOL -- only kidding. I'm sure there will be plenty to do. I know my dad is looking forward to the casino. Marly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted October 9, 2004 #18 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Marly: I agree that there wont be time for reading. I mean afterall we have to cram 7 days worth of cruising into 2 days. (wont even be watching the calories on a 2 day cruise== hope not to eat like it was 7 days...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise'n Posted October 12, 2004 Author #19 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Does anyone happen to know what time we are allowed to go onto the Victory on the CTN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted October 12, 2004 #20 Share Posted October 12, 2004 It really depends on whre the Victory is before it comes to Norfolk. But I would say to head to the pier about 11am. (this is when security will open) then you should be onboard by noon) Casino wont open til you are in open waters.. In NY it opens at 7:00 From Philly it opened much later. Did you get your documents? Does the ship sail at 5 or 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise'n Posted October 12, 2004 Author #21 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Thanks serene! Yes, I have the documents and it says the ship will depart at 4:30. The documents say "embark 1:30 PM until 4:00 PM" but I thought we could most likely board before 1:30... I just did not know how much before. Thanks so much everyone for your help!
