No formal nights on Ryndam Jan 2 to Jan 8, six day cruise

[Keith Rita]

Last week we printed our online boarding passes for the first cruise of our B2B cruises on the Ryndam. It's a seven day cruise with two formal nights and five smart casual nights. Today we were able to print the documentation for the 6 day second cruise. We were very surprised to learn it will have no formal nights and only smart casual nights! This seems odd to us. What do you think?

I sent an email re the Westerdam sailing for the same dates and was informed that there are no formal nights on this sailing.

I think that it is great! :) It doesn't seem odd to me! In my view, formal nights should be discontinued/eliminated & only have "smart dress casual" nights! :) And think of the reduced weight in your checked luggage! ;)

Actually my formal wear is quite light so my suitcase would probably be more heavy.

It is odd. Maybe it is some kind of a test to see what the passenger reactions are.

It's the same on the Jan. 2 Westerdam - no formal nights. One would have been fun - it's nice to dress up once in a while.

Nothing preventing you from dressing up formal one night--do not need the ship to tell you to do so--just do it.

Like you, we will miss the formal night. I must admit I like looking at Rita in one of her formal gowns!;)

DH would be thrilled. He'll probably be checking on the Maasdam now. My formal wear is much lighter than his, and this would help his packing. Something like, one set of formal wear = three things he would like to wear. :rolleyes:

Got our e-docs today for the 2nd of January 11 day cruise aboard the Maasdam and we have three formal nights. Probably will skip one of the nights.

Our 6 day cruise on the Eurodam in January didn't have any formal nights either. At the time, we were told that there weren't any formal nights on 6 day cruises.

 

Our group still coordinated our own formal nights. :D
