sailingseabee Posted November 7, 2004 #1 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Hi everyone I am sorry to waste everyones time again.But I am so excited about my first cruise in 6 days on the glory.It might sound silly but I don't think I was looking foward to leaving Iraq after almost a year as I am too this cruise.But anyways I asked this question on the fashion board but I thought I would try this board because it is more Carnival related.I am in the navy and of course have my dress blues that I will be dressing in for formal night ,but will it be accaptable to do it for both nights .Any feedback would be appericated. Thanks in advance. Buda;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buda;)[/QUOTE] I have seen them both nights. Don't worry. You won't be alone. There are usually a half dozen or so people, wearing some type of military dress both nights. Even saw a few scots wearing formal scottish attire. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel girl23 Posted November 7, 2004 #9 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Our son, a Marine, wore his dress blues both formal nights on the Elation last Thanksgiving and is planning on wearing them again on our next cruise in a month. I say - wear it proudly!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasto5 Posted November 8, 2004 #10 Share Posted November 8, 2004 We are leaving on the Imagination in January. The trip is in honor of our 26yo son who is in the NYS National Guard and his girlfriend. They have been separated for 11 months out of the past three years and he was in grad school along with completing all his military training. I am hoping he wears his dress blues on the cruise . I am VERY proud of him and all the others that serve this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

staceyvols Posted November 8, 2004 #14 Share Posted November 8, 2004 I am married to an active duty person. I have asked him to wear them, think he looks so nice and I am VERY proud. But he refuses. He feels he would be asking for attention/praise, etc-whatever you want to call it. Just a different view. Like I said, I wish he would wear his dress mess (AF) but he won't.

Wicked Posted November 8, 2004 #18 Share Posted November 8, 2004 When we went on the Glory in October 2003, a couple we had met here came as well. He had just returned from Iraq, he's in the Marines. He wore his dress blues both nights. Something you should do as well. Some of the stories we heard from some "retired" military, those that would come to him with tears in their eyes and thank him. Just seeing that was so inspirational. Wear your dress blues as proudly as we are all of you for having served! Oh and THANK YOU :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
