larry_s_taco Posted January 11, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 11, 2018 We are going on the Fantasy in Feb. This is my first Carnival cruise, and I was wondering how dressy the dress up night is. I read the suggestions on the Carnival site, and it is any where from dress shorts to sports jacket suggested. Do you see many men in sports coats or suits on these nights? Thanks, Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Computer Nerd Posted January 11, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Sometimes, but not as often. I myself no longer wear a coat but do still wear a tie to formal night along with slacks and a dress shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted January 11, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Not many men any longer wear coats & ties on Elegant nights. Enjoy your cruise! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknoge3k Posted January 11, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I always wear khakis and a polo and found that to be pretty much the norm now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpyjr88 Posted January 12, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 12, 2018 You will see a mix of everything from tuxes and ball gowns to khakis and collared polo shirts. My friends and I usually wear ball gowns and tuxes but my sister and her friends wear jeans and t-shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSU2LSU Posted January 12, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I wore dress slacks, pressed shirt and a tie. I didn’t want to pack a sport jacket but it wouldn’t have been out of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were there a lot of men who went with a dress shirt and tie only? Did you find a lot of men in dress shirts only? It would really make packing easier.

JWGrayson Posted January 12, 2018 #9 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I always wear khakis and a polo and found that to be pretty much the norm now. My uniform as well. We just got off the Fantasy in Dec and was saddened by the removal of Lobster on cruises less than 7 days. We are Diamond, but it was our first time on the Fantasy. I really liked the ship! She does not feel small, nor crowded. Enjoy your first cruise! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWolver672 Posted January 13, 2018 #11 Share Posted January 13, 2018 On our last five day cruise on the Paradise, we noticed a couple of men in tuxedos and some teenagers with baseball caps and shorts on. So, it runs from dressy to casual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Larry You'll see a few, but most go no jacket, with or without tie, long pants, and a colored shirt! On the smaller ships you'll still see a few shorts, t-shirts, and even a baseball cap!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
