Going on Emerald Princess from nyc on sept 16th. How do i know when formal nights are? Thank you They want to have first FN ASAP, so yours is going to have to break the normal expectations somewhat. Night 1 should be Newport where you leave at 5pm since that is the earliest departure for the first days. Night 2 will be Saint John since it departs at 4pm compared to 6pm from Halifax. It won't be the sea day since that is your last night on the ship and it is never then. Normally, they try to use sea days, but your itinerary doesn't allow for that. PS - Since you are first and new with Princess, welcome to Princess. Feel free to dress up of course, but you can also dine on FN with Smart Casual wear. There will be a mix of clothing choices at dinner. As soon as you get to your cabin, one of the papers will have the full voyage schedule of dress suggestions for dining, so you will know the designated FN's for certain then.

Rare PacnGoNow Posted August 20, 2023 #3 Share Posted August 20, 2023 And welcome to cruise critic CC. Also, sometimes and I mean sometimes, I’ve seen formal night listed on the App Journey View activities timeline about 1-2 weeks before sailing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torfamm Posted August 21, 2023 #4 Share Posted August 21, 2023 You can see which nights are scheduled as formal nights in the Journey View activities timeline in the app. Every evening will show either “casual” or “formal” portraits. I’ve seen it populate as much as a couple of months before a cruise. Formal nights are never the first or last night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
