Is this new Dress to impress?

[FLACRUISER99]

What is dress to impress? On Jewel of the seas now and just spotted it.

On my Mariner cruise last month, it replaced formal night. Maybe it is going fleet wide.

Thought Celebrity had a similar  dress suggestion.

It called Evening Chic on Celebrity.

I think your right.

People want to impress. 

 

Many think formal is old and boring. 

Just a good marketing strategy. 

Maybe, this way the cruise ship can have people look nice, hopefully, decrease the complaints from people about the wrong type of clothing showing up in a formal setting.

You could be on to something. Tell people that have to dress formal and they'll roll their eyes and groan. Tell them to dress-to-impress, and they'll break out their fanciest threads/gear/duds.

 

Ironically, more people may end up dressing fancier.

We had both a formal night and a dress to impress night on our Empress cruise in October. I had never seen that designation before.😀

I thought Empress had no formal night.   At least there was no formal night when we sailed about 18 months ago.  Perhaps things have changed.

I think the rough translation is "dress in something that makes you want to have our professional photographers take your picture."

Our October sailing was a 7 night cruise so I think that was a change for Empress.  I had read on CC that Empress did not have a formal night so we did not pack any dressier clothes.  My husband wore dark jeans with a polo style shirt and I wore a long sundress.😀

 

It worked out well as our table mates wore shorts😂😂

A positive way to say partly cloudy.

[JAMESCC]

And this mean what if anything different than they don't care how you dress for dinner now?

The same as a little cloudy.

[cb at sea]

They are going "freestyle" without impinging on NCL......ie: they don't care how you're dressed.

We are going on the Jewel in Feb, wondering if we will have any formal nights or will they both nights be dress to impress?

Nothing has changed, wear whatever you like.

Actually, in meteorology they are two different descriptions.  Mostly sunny is the classification just below sunny in terms of cloud cover and can only be used during daylight hours.  Partly cloudy is the next level down and can be used to describe daylight or night time hours.  Bit of a weather geek here if you can't tell 😁

BINGO. If anyone thinks “formal night” is anything more than a cruise line trying to make a few extra bucks selling photos, they’re fooling themselves.

[Ocean Boy]

It doesn't say anything about making a positive impression.

If anyone cares it was a beautiful day.

Our empress sailing was also 7 nights. No formal night.
