Rare Jack E Dawson Posted June 13, 2020 #2 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Tillypops, Have you tried posting that question on your Roll-Call? Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldBear Posted June 13, 2020 #3 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Typically, a crossing will have three Gala / formal nights, with two of them “theme” nights. Themes include “Royal Ascot” (fancy hats), Masquerade, Black and White, and possibly others. The voyage personalizer should list the theme nights - so folks on the Roll Call may already know what is scheduled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkBearSF Posted June 15, 2020 #4 Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) I think in recent years, the two gala themes on crossings are usually "Masquerade" and "Black and White" or "Roaring 20s" and "Royal Cunard" (Red, Black & White) ...I assume they wouldn't often pair B&W with Royal Cunard.

Isn’t the usual pattern for the three formal and two informal nights to alternate over the remaining five days, such that formal is nights 2, 4 and 6?

bluemarble Posted June 18, 2020 #6 Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) The usual pattern for QM2 eastbound crossings has been as follows. Evening 1: Smart Attire Evening 2: Gala (Royal Cunard Ball) Evening 3: Smart Attire Evening 4: Gala Evening 5: Smart Attire Evening 6: Gala (Roaring Twenties) Evening 7: Smart Attire For QM2 westbound crossings, it's been a similar pattern, with the themes being Black & White Ball on evening 2 and Masquerade Ball on evening 6. There's no guarantee that's how it will be in 2021 and there have been one or two deviations from that pattern over the past few years. But that's how it's been for almost all 7-night crossings on QM2 lately, with that specific pattern for the themed evenings in place since mid-May 2018.

BigMac1953 Posted June 18, 2020 #7 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Before anybody gets too worried, it'e worth remembering that the themed nights are primarily aimed at the ballroom dancers, which is perhaps only 10% of the pax. Most people just wear ordinary evening attire on Gala nights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillypops Posted June 18, 2020 Author #8 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Good Afternoon Thank you all for your response to my question I am hoping Cunard will put this as information near the time of sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Colin_Cameron Posted June 18, 2020 #9 Share Posted June 18, 2020 This is all assuming that large scale social gatherings aboard ships are not the first things cancelled in a post-COVID world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AspirationalFlyer Posted June 21, 2020 #10 Share Posted June 21, 2020 There were three gala nights on my Westbound Transatlantic crossing in November. The last one was indeed the Masquerade Ball. I’m certainly not a dancer, but did take a mask and it was a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
