Formal nights on 14 day cruise

By ASIWISH , July 10, 2018 in Holland America Line

Recommended Posts

Can anyone tell me what nights you’d expect formal nights to be on a 14-day Western/Eastern Caribbean Cruise?

... any additional advice on how to fit into a tuxedo that is now three sizes too small would be appreciated, too.

Since you are doing a Collector's cruise -- for some people those cruises will only be 7 day cruises.

Therefore there will be 2 Gala Nights on each 7 day cruise -- thus 4 on your Collector's cruise.

Leave the Tuxedo at home. The majority of the men will be wearing slacks and a collared shirt. Very, very few men wear tuxedos on any length of cruise. If you husband still wants to dress up and has a suite that fits, that will work. Even a jacket with tie will work.

Speak for yourself.My husband will be bringing four tuxes for our western/eastern Caribbean on the Nieuw Amsterdam in October. Love to dress up on Gala nights. They said he would be the only one in a tux in Alaska but, they were wrong.

I’d suggest leaving it at home, Kevin! Things have changed since your last cruise. A sport jacket/blazer that can be worn on the plane will work perfectly.

No such thing as "formal night". Men will be dressed in an assortment of apparel ranging from slacks with collared shirts to tuxes. I no longer bring a tux but that's an individual decision that shouldn't be influenced any posters advising otherwise. With respect to outgrowing your tux, I had a similar problem with the waistline of my trousers. Since I can no longer button the front, I use a safety pin which gives me another inch or two. The cummerbund covers the makeshift fastener.

I’d suggest leaving it at home, Kevin! Things have changed since your last cruise.

Dang it... I leave you people alone for four years, and things fall apart!

Can you tell me, though, what nights the formal nights are? Sea Days?
