Summit Southbound Formal Nights

[shereemcg]

On the southbound trip, does anyone know which nights are formal? Trying to decide which night to reserve for the specialty dining!

Haven't found a soul on our sailing thru any of the boards yet according to the celebrity website it's almost full! Southbound end of August.

thanks!

Hi,

 

When are you cruising? I'm in the same "boat" so to speak not having made many contacts. Have you posted a "roll call" for your sailing date? I've read 2 formal and 1 informal.

 

IMHO,Saturday night will be formal for sure and maybe Wednesday night . Definitely won't be Thursday night because of packing to depart the next morning. I dunno about the informal. Good luck!

Sheree.... I am just off the Summit Southbound.

 

The formal nights were Day 2 (Saturday...Hubbard Galcier)

 

and

 

Day 5 (Tuesday...Icy Strait).

 

Also, there was only ONE informal night...and THREE casual nights!

Sheree.... Remember that the dress for the Normandie is formal....or something close to formal.

 

We did not eat there (our loss).... but we were in there awaiting disembarking. Absolutely beautiful. There are two large panels in there..on the wall....that are from the original Normandie Ship. Lots of photographs in the Restaurant foyer...from cruisers on the original Normandie.... an original menu.... an actual place setting. Very interesting to see.

 

The cruisers were very, very formal back then. They lounged around on deck...in suits and dresses! Nice dresses!

 

I think the people of that day would be very disappointed with the people of this day.

 

There is also a statue (large and lovely) in the main dining room on the Summit....that was originally on the Normandie Ship.

 

Have fun.
