MSC Orchestra - Formal Nights - Info Please

[techchick]

Hello,

I am looking for info on the Formal Nights on the MSC Orchestra. I have done many Resorts but this is my first cruise so I not sure what to expect.

I am not really a fan of formal wear so I am trying to determine what I need to bring to get by without having to go out and buy a dress I may never wear again. Also want to keep luggage to a minimum.

I am sure the range of wear varies but any info would be very appreciated!

Thanks!

If your NOT a fan of formal wear, don,t worry..not too many people will stare at you and ask themselfs what is she wearing..NO, No just kidding...Are there people who come to formal nites not dressed?? Of course there are.. My wife and I personally think that this sort of dining is an event not to be missed..So we dress to impress..

As previously stated on another thread. As paying GUESTS, we prefer to follow the suggested dress code of the cruise line.

Wear, within reason, what you're comfortable with. We've sailed MSC before in the Caribbean, and are leaving on the Orchestra out of Venice on Aug. 25. A jacket and tie, cocktail dress work fine. NO ONE (well, maybe 1/10 of 1%) were wearing tuxedos, and maybe 20% of the men weren't wearing jackets.

Hi Tech - read board posted by handhandB - I asked her same question and she said that dress cose is very flexible. I will be on 9/8 cruise out of Venice - when are you sailing?
