The bolo tie is a formal garment worn in circumstances where a conventional necktie might otherwise be worn. It is the official male neckware of the states of Texas, Arizona and New Mexico. The following link gives a good description of its origin etc should you be interested https://www.libertyleathergoods.com/bolo-tie/

 

PS  The tie featured in my post is a vintage bolo by Hopi silversmith Homer Vance and is black onyx set in sterling silver. It is most definately not line dancing paraphernalia! IF you want one of your own, an almost identical one is currently for sale on Ebay

Is there a link to find when black tie nights and theme nights are on your cruise.

It's on your itinerary on my.cp. Each day has what the dress code is.

There will be 4 of them on our Britannia cruise. Happy days.🤮

 

We just love the "Formal" evening wear. Enjoy dressing up and having such a lovely evening.

Last time I cruised on Britannia a few weeks back I was told that themed nights were cancelled due to Covid Protocols. Those hawaian shirts are notorious for spreading viruses!!

Is there a formal night on a 4 day cruise ?

If so would a smart Jacket and tie be ok for Men

We had one on a short Britannia cruise last autumn but not sure if there will be on all shorter cruises. However, it should show up when you login to your cruise personaliser if there is one.

 

Yes, a smart jacket and tie are absolutely fine. The main thing is to feel comfortable.
