knk731 Posted February 7, 2010 #1 Share Posted February 7, 2010 New to posting.. but DH and I are taking a RCI cruise in April on the Liberty.. I was wondering if this dress would be TOO MUCH for formal night.. I am not one to look for opportunities to stand out, so I guess I would like to know if i would look out of place for formal night wearing this dress. Also, if this dress is okay should my hubby wear a suit or tux?? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlovely Posted February 7, 2010 #3 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I LOVE the dress! MANY people will be wearing tuxes and gowns. I think it'll be perfect. You won't stand out...and who cares if you do? :) It's your vacation! I say go for it! For one of our formal nights, this is the BCBG Max Azria dress I'll be wearing...luckily Fergie has the same dress so I see photos of it ALL the time, haha!

DaniellefromOttawa Posted February 7, 2010 #4 Share Posted February 7, 2010 You absolutely will stand out in the dress, but in a good way, it's gorgeous! I'd say 1/2 of the crowd are older and will be wearing mother of the bride kinda stuff, most of us will be in the typical Black Cocktail dress and say 10-15% will be in something so great as that!! Enjoy your cruise, make sure you have pictures taken with your spouse, either by the ship photographers or a fellow cruiser! Danielle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcguy Posted February 8, 2010 #8 Share Posted February 8, 2010 From what I understand, formal nights on Liberty are so much different that formal nights on the other ships. I'm not sure if your choices will work. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the Liberty in April and am wondering what makes the Liberty different from every other ship? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcguy Posted February 8, 2010 #10 Share Posted February 8, 2010 What, exactly, do you mean by "so much different?" I'm on the Liberty in April and am wondering what makes the Liberty different from every other ship?Thanks! My point, sarcastically is that there is NO difference in formal nights on any ship really. I just find it comical that some people make their questions ship specific when it reality, it's just not that way. For example, there's no difference in laundry pricing whether you're on Liberty or Voyager or Vision. Pet peeve. Sorry. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you take your same advice. :) However, if you are to cruise on Oasis or Allure, the ante goes way up on formal nights. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

windjammerB&C Posted February 10, 2010 #18 Share Posted February 10, 2010 my dh wants to get away with just wearing a dress shirt & tie and khakies I said I dont think you can get away with that. since you cannot pack like you use to because of the "AIRLINES" we might skip formal night.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctcontrol Posted February 10, 2010 #19 Share Posted February 10, 2010 That dress is gorgeous! I'd wear it without a doubt. My OH doesn't do tuxes (They are not that big over here in the UK) but he does wear a rather nice (And expensive) suit with a nice shirt and tie. If your OH feels more comfortable in a normal suit with a shirt and tie over a tux then tell him to go for that. No matter which option he chooses he will look just as nice as you will in that dress. Make sure you have your photo taken on board and buy it! Believe me, it will look great on your mantalpiece :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, there's no difference in laundry pricing whether you're on Liberty or Voyager or Vision. Pet peeve. Sorry. :) I disagree. The formality of dinner varies depending upon cruise line, length of cruise, and even destination (Alaskan cruises, for example, have a different atmosphere than those taking place in the Caribbean). Time of year can make a difference too; for example, spring break is younger and more casual. Now, I wouldn't expect any difference between, say, Freedom and Liberty -- but you will find a difference between some ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomko2 Posted February 10, 2010 #24 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Love the dress! We were on the Liberty in January for 7 nights. People were well dressed for the formal evenings. Our photos in the link below. Have a wonderful cruise -- it is a beautiful ship and the Captain and staff are outstanding! Kathy:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
