Is there a formal night on 3 night cruises?

[OneParticularHarbour 71]

I thought I had read here that the 3 nighters no longer have a formal night, but I just printed our cruise docs out and it says there is 1 formal night on cruises that are 3 - 5 nights in length. Can any recent 3 night cruisers comment on their experience? I did a search but of course can't find the original thread I read...

 

Thanks!

Formal night is day 2

Yes, your second night will be the official formal night. However, on these shorty cruises, formal night is only for those who really wanna get dressed up. Maybe 35%(+/-) will be dressed to the 9's. Want an elegant picture with the captain? Dress up. If you wanna go casual, do it. Go to the dining room. No worries there.

Enjoy your cruise!

We're just back from the 3-day cruise on Monarch. Two nights were casual, and one was smart casual.

Just returned from The Majesty, 2nd night is formal. Most guest actually dressed formal.

2ManyCruises ~ thats nice to hear that most dressed formal for formal night. That tells me more first time cruisers...... excited to experience cruising and they'll probably be back!

Hmm...I wonder if it depends on the ship? Looks like we will be bringing a suit for DH either way...

 

Thanks for everyone's replies, I'm glad I double checked!

Right now, it seems to depend on the ship. We were on the Monarch in July and they replaced formal night with Smart Casual. Everyone on the Majesty has still been reporting of having a formal night.

So we are doing the 3 night on Monarch we have cruised 2 other times I love the formal night this time it is just hubby and I. Will it be awkward if we dress formal! And it is not? I was really looking forward to it and got a new dress and all!

No, it will not be awkward. :) You will find that even though the 3 night Monarch cruise is "smart casual" on formal night that there will be other people dressed to the nines if for no other reason but pictures.

 

At least thats the way it was in May anyway. I was really surprised at the number of suits, tuxes and elegant dresses I seen.

 

You will not be the only two on the ship that choose to dress up for dinner :)

Majesty has a formal night. Monarch does not.

My thoughts too.

On 3-4 day cruises, we pack light so I'll bring a button down shirt and tie, wear the kakhi pants from the night before. At least its not cut off demin shorts :)
