Would this dress be appropriate for formal night?

Hi everyone. I am going on my first cruise in January and it’s a Royal Caribbean Freedom of the seas ship. I’m not really sure what to expect from formal night, but I definitely don’t want to look dumb in something that isn’t appropriate for the occasion. The picture was too large to put as an attachment, so here is the link to the picture of the dress.

Doesn't show the dress, but almost anything is now appropriate now. There is no firm dress code, only suggested.

I answered on the other thread too, but I see this type of dress on cruises all the time.

Couldnt see the link for some reason but no matter. Formal nights aren't what they used to be and you'll see just about everything on formal nights. The important thing is to wear what makes you happy, it's your vacation after all.

Well, I can see it and you will look stunning and very appropriate in it. Bon Voyage!

Beautiful!

It looks like a very nice dress. Don't overthink it. I didn't know any better and I wore swim trunks and flip-flips on formal night on my first cruise. Thankfully there were no dress-code ****s at my table and we just looked at it for what it really was... ignorance on my part... and our food still tasted delicious! :)

Lovely!

I range between cocktail dresses and more semi-formal dresses for formal nights, and wear other dresses or separates for the other nights.

Most people at least dress on the country club casual or resort casual levels on formal nights. I don't think I've ever seen swim trunks in the MDR on formal night.

We saw some people turned away on our last cruise for sleeveless shirts and ball caps.

Very nice. You will look great

That is a lovely dress and perfect for formal night. I remember our first cruise...I know it’s difficult, but don’t over think clothes! Really all you need is beach wear and dinner wear. Not much in between!

Looks great; totally appropriate.

Welcome to CC on a ship you can never over dress traditionally there were class !st , 2nd 3rd and steerage . Now they let anyone into the MDR so you see red carpet to SSS (shorts socks sandals ) You will look stunning :)

It's beautiful!! You have me wishing I was young enough to pull off something like that again!

Looks great; totally appropriate.

I agree, great choice. Only wish I was young enough again to wear one that short ... 😉

Anything goes...that's more "club wear" than "formal", but it's fine.

May have to get this one for my wife. Looks great!

I wish I could look as good in any dress! That will be great.

Mandatory formal attire ended in 2013 .

First of all, DUH! Yes this dress is ABSOLUTELY APPROPRIATE! And I’m not being biased because I shop 95% of the time from, ASOS! Check out Missguided too! You won’t be disappointed. But I would wear this any other night. Formal is typically right at or below the knees.

That dress is excellent you certainly won't look out of place.

Perfect!!

if you want a good idea of what people are wearing go to Instagram and put in your ship name. You will see thousands of photos.
