Formal Nights on the Moon

[chrism23]

I will be on the moon in January-February.  I have had 8 SS cruises, 2 expeditions with no real dress code, 6 with the standard dress code and Formal nights.  I am trying to find out what nights will be Formal Nights on the Moon.  I like to go  to La Dame in a tux, just a thing.  I am making restaurant reservations on the activities page now and I can't find a place where Formal nights are identified.  Anyone know where?  Or should I just wait and see whether it pops up or not.  Thanks

Normally they will put a bow tie symbol either above or below the date on the daily calendar in my.silversea to mark the formal nights, one of which is usually on the second night of the voyage.  I think they do this closer to the departure date, so you may not see the bow tie symbols yet.

[Gourmet Gal]

Definitely closer to departure date.  Keep checking.

Didn't show up at all on my last one.🙄

I have not seen those dinner icons on any of mine.......that has been 6 cruises since last summer's restart.  

[CruzinFeraBruzin]

Hmm, I guess this is another area of inconsistency with Silversea.  Below is a screenshot of what it would look like on my.silversea if they decided to add the formal nights to your activities calendar for your particular voyage (formal night is in Palma in this example):

Nothing says you can't put on a dinner jacket for La Dame anyways.  🙂

The bow tie symbols just showed up on our 3 Dawn cruises in December and January.

[Lois R]

WOW....I just checked my SS account for my upcoming cruise at the bowties are actually showing up!

[Silver Spectre]

They have on ours for at least a couple of weeks.

[A Tucson Guy]

It doesn't matter to us what nights are formal but in checking, no bowties show up for 11-18-22 on the Moon.

Well I’ve decided my old Harvie and Hudson detachable collar dress bib shirt needs retiring and I’ve been looking for months for a replacement but to no avail.It seems the whole of Jermyn street has been bought out by internetty type businesses. I Only go to London under gunpoint these days. Can anyone suggest where I might find a true old fashioned, detachable collar, starched bib evening shirt, preferably online but if not by visiting the Capital if I Must? All this talk of Formal nights has filled my soul with dread of the thought of having to turn up in something by M&S.

Fort Myers.  I hope you guys are ok.  If there Ian must have been hell.

Hi everyone,

Yes we are fine.

We lived in Cape Coral for 25 years in a water front home.

5 years ago we decided to move inland to get away from hurricane issues.

We made a good decision.

We now live in a gated community in Estero on the East side of Interstate 75.

Hurricane Ian was a major wind event.

Major damage to bushes, trees, etc.

No damage to house except for several missing roof ridge caps.

We never lost power.

Water was out for 2 days (still under boil water notice).

Cable and internet was out for 2 days.

Cell service was out for 4 days.

Everything is slowly returning to normal.

Thanks for thinking about us.

Hi Bob and Terry, that was probably the best move you ever made! Glad you are ok........so many folks were not as fortunate.......the pictures/videos look horrific...........actually looks like homes and businesses were flattened into nothing..........

 

Looks like we are sailing on the Dawn together in January! 😀

Haha, It’s something extremely specific I’m looking for Rojaan. It’s the extremely old fashioned kind of dress shirt that seems to have disappeared. H&H don’t do them anymore, they are something completely different now. I’ve had a couple of tailored dress shirts made but they technically aren’t correct. Luckily a wonderful member of the cooler has pointed me in the direction of the perfect shirt. https://www.buddshirts.co.uk/classic-fit-plain-stiff-bib-neckband-double-cuff-dress-shirt-in-white.html

Hi Capri, I hope you are both well. Daz sends his love. I’ve been working on an epic plan for January, Thailand, Elephant Hills, Bangkok, Angkor Wat, Danang, Hoi An, Hue then onto Honk Kong and join the Spirit down the Vietnamese coast and onto Singapore. That was until I found out that having an ecig in Thailand and Cambodia carries a 5 year prison sentence! I’m currently weighing up wether to do more Vietnam before the cruise instead or to scrap it completely and go elsewhere. Angkor Wat was one of the biggest draws and leaves a big gap on the itinerary. Have you plans coming up yourself?

no plans just got back from a Taulk tour that was awful.It was a credit from 2019 that we had to use.It was suppose to be a River cruise but that did not work out.We had to use the credit or loose it.I am getting hesitate about booking anything at this point.

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm not sure I'm keen on this "new normal" either. It wont stop me from getting out there and enjoying the world as best I can though. I Hope you have better luck in the future!
