PC Formal Nights

[martinimadam]

On HAL, will there be formal nights through the Panama Canal? I'm on a 14 day through transit. Someone I spoke with, who took this cruise last year, said there weren't any formal nights???

 

I'm also a little concerned, if there are formal nights, that my outfits will be too warm to wear....

there will, allegedly, be air conditioning inside the ship. you should be comfortable in formal wear there.

A 14 day cruise on HAL ships usually calls for 4 formal nights.

Thanks for your responses. It's just that this friend of mine went on HAL recently on a San Diego - Fort Lauderdale- San Diego trip and claimed there were no formal nights????? Thought I'd just check if the Panama Canal cruises were different.

We were on the Panama last year and there were definitely formal nights.

 

Mind you, if your friend decided to go to the Lido they could skip them.

 

we were fine on our ship - not too hot - there were no problems:D

Thanks, kazu! I'm much relieved.:)

Yes -- on the 14 day Panama Canal cruise there will be 4 formal nights.

 

Sounds as though your friends skipped the formal nights and went to the Lido.

Yes, they may have just eaten in the Lido most nights. They're pretty active, and may not have wanted to spend the time it takes (which I look forward to) to dine in the main dining room.

 

I'm so happy there will be 4 formal nights. I just love them!
