ONE FORMAL NIGHT


Okay ,the ladies of our group have been inquiring about our formal night .Well on this weekend cruise you can count on ONE FORMAL NIGHT and I am guessing that it will be on Saturday, December 5th.

Generally, the first night of the cruise, the Dining Room has a casual dress code. On one occasion I recall, we had a delay in our delivery of our suitcase so Roger had to show up for dinner in his ‘I BUY JAPANESE SWORD’ T-Shirt and shorts. I think he really loved it. We apologized & explained our circumstances to our MaĆ®tre d and Waiter but they were very gracious and accommodating. I think it’s happened before.

Sunday night is also a Casual Dining so a Hawaiian Shirt or Polo shirt will be an acceptable attire for guys and woman can come in a sundress, pants or even dressy shorts. Following is the Carnival Cruise guideline for “WHAT TO WEAR"...best to read this so you can looooook gooooood!

Casual attire is the order of the day. We suggest shorts, sundresses, tank tops, etc. for the ladies, and for men; shorts, polo shirts, T-shirts, etc. will do. We suggest you wear rubber-soled, low heeled or flat shoes for extra traction while onboard. The use of any footwear with wheels, including but not limited, to Heelys© shoes, is prohibited on board our ships. For dining you may want to dress up a bit and/or bring along a light sports jacket or cardigan.

Most evenings we have a Cruise Casual dress code, but there are those Cruise Elegant evenings one or two nights throughout your “Fun Ship” voyage, where you will have the opportunity to showcase your more elegant attire. For those who want casual attire for dinner time, the Lido Restaurant is open nightly, and has a more relaxed theme. However, shirts and shoes/footwear (flip-flops) must be worn at all times inside the Lido Restaurant.

Both dress codes for the dining rooms are described below.

Cruise Casual Dining Dress Code: Gentlemen - Sport slacks, khakis, jeans (no cut-offs), dress shorts (long), collared sport shirts; Ladies - Casual dresses, casual skirts or pants and blouses, summer dresses, Capri pants, dress shorts, jeans (no cut-offs).

Not permitted in the dining room during the Cruise Casual dinner for ladies and gentlemen: shorts, gym shorts, basketball shorts, beach flip-flops, bathing suit attire, cut-off jeans, sleeveless shirts for men and baseball hats.

Cruise Elegant Dining Dress Code: Gentlemen - Dress slacks, dress shirts. We also suggest a sport coat. If you wish to wear suits and ties or tuxedos, by all means we invite you to do so. Ladies - Cocktail dresses, pantsuits, elegant skirts and blouses; if you‘d like to show off your evening gowns, that's great too!
