MSC formal nights

[JOHN 57]

Hello, we will on the Musica 22 April, sailing from Venice. My question, on formal nights are coat and tie required for men. Thank you.

The straight answer is: No! Here is the 'suggested' dress code:

The only things stipulated are listed on the bottom.

No they are not.

Thank you both for answering the question.

Rather brief and to the point answer. I should have elaborated and said that, on Med cruises you will find that more people are prepared to dress up on formal nights than on Caribbean cruises. I would respectfully suggest that you consider a nice shirt and pants/chinos at minimum if you're concerned. However, there will be those who will wear jeans and t-shirts and will still be admitted to the MDR.

good morning and thank you for your reply. My wife always wants to dress for formal nights, and I end up doing the same.

Funny you should say that, GB. The first 'Elegance' night on Meraviglia last month there were so few dressed up that it felt like a 'casual' night. The second formal night - Captain's night - was better observed. I think less and less people are going to the trouble, now. A pity, really. I, for one, am sorry about the way things are going.

 

John ........ I'm glad to hear that you and your wife want to dress for formal nights, despite the long distance with luggage that you have to travel. A lot of people use that as an excuse not to pack a dress and/or pair of trousers, LOL.

I am sorry too. We came to the point when to wear a pants to DR or even Vatican (people complain about it too:confused:) become a problem.
