Traci1960 Posted January 7, 2014 #302 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I very much agree. I was on Oasis last year and booked on Allure this Sept.My husband is not a suit/tux kind of guy, he wore nice pants and a nice Tommy Bahama shirt and I a nice sun dress for formal dinners, and it was fine, we never felt out of place, in fact we looked pretty darn good :) People were dressed in all kinds of ways and I really did not care who was wearing what. We were having so much fun, I really didn't care who was wearing what :) You will love it! I promise!! :) This is great information. I usually wear a dress or black slacks and DH wears Black Dockers and long sleeve dress shirt (this is formal to him) he definately is not a suit guy - Only wears those to funerals. Casual nights he wears Kaki (sp) Dockers and Polo or Tommy Bahama short sleeve shirts. This works for us. I personally enjoy watching the people who are dressed up - but anybody dressed down does not affect my enjoyment....:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrD Posted January 7, 2014 #303 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I personally enjoy watching the people who are dressed up - but anybody dressed down does not affect my enjoyment....:p No offense but that sentence doesn't make a lot of sense. If you enjoy people dressed up, then people not dressed up would in fact affect your enjoyment, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essexlass2 Posted January 7, 2014 #304 Share Posted January 7, 2014 We will be on Brilliance this summer. How can I find out how many formal nights there will be, any idea please? DH usually wears a tux for formal nights and I wear long dress trousers with a sparkly top - will that be okay? We've not been with RCI before, just now venturing away from British P&O :D Thanks!

But if a couple comes in wearing slacks, it does not upset me. To each their own. Many people on these boards complain about how others are dressed. Not my style...

sealeggs Posted January 7, 2014 #306 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I like to wear shorts, flip flops, tank top with the tail cut off and my beach hat to dinner on Formal Night. I always wonder why people stare. I guess they are jealous of how dashing I look. Oh I forgot to say I also have on black dress socks pulled up over the calves with the flip flops. Hope everyone has wonderful cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These formal wear threads are like those monsters in very bad Horror films. The hero or heroin thinks they've killed the beast only to realize, too late, that it has risen from the dead to cause even more mayhem. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffy116 Posted January 9, 2014 #313 Share Posted January 9, 2014 The most common thing you'll see during Royal's formal night is men in dark suits and ladies in black coctail dresses. Totally agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sealeggs can correct me if I'm wrong but the lampoon seems to be about people who show up to dinner dressed in their finest beachwear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder, though, how many actually dress in beachwear on formal night? My thought is not many, but then again Sealeggs might be confusing Dockers with shorts. :D Edited January 9, 2014 by CruiseTobey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If CruiseToby really thinks that is what I wear to dinner on Formal Night. Who am I to bust his bubble. He really had to ask the question 2 times? Just so I won't keep you wondering anymore CruiseToby, I dress in a Tux. I bought just for cruises. and my DW wears a Formal Gown. There now the cat is out of the bag. I will put my finest bball shorts away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4biegelboys Posted January 10, 2014 #319 Share Posted January 10, 2014 It's good to know that we won't be looked down on for not being dressed in tuxes and ball gowns on formal night. I was a bit worried about my son who has autism. He has a thing about clothing and buttons are especially troublesome for him. Although I must say he is getting much better with the clothing thing. My hubby and 3 other boys will all be in suits and ties and I will have some sort of dress on. I will try a suit for my other son but will probably go with dress pants with an elastic waist and a polo shirt, or try a button down shirt and tie. Just gonna give it a try but if he fights me on it I'm going with what makes him comfortable. Some things are not worth the fight, especially on vacation!
