New Selection??

Hello all,

I Am in the process of trying to get set up my cruise for next year. My
question is this, Raddison Navigator or similar for under seven (7)
days or so, no real 'formal' nights as it were, (which my partner
disdains, hates to get dressed up), can anyone suggest a similar or
better quality line and size or smaller ship which is a bit informal? I
looked at Silversea and they are very formal as well as Seabourn. Or do
they have a few sailings which are not? Please point me in the
direction of the font of knowledge and I will do the rest of it.

Thanks again for your input and asisstance.

When you frame it like that Radisson just barely fits your criteria, if
you go to 14 days Oceania will be not as inclusive not the cabins as
big.but still small and informal with great food.

Thank you Joseph,

I think on sailings under seven nights, there are no formal nights, or
Am I incorrect on that point?

Using the service factor, size of cabin and amenities factors and to
the greatest degree possible, all-inclusive factor. Or Am I shooting
for a star which is not in sight yet and need to do Radisson?

Thank you again.

Hi,

Some of Radisson cruises do not require formal nights and some do.
You might want to consult with your travel agent about SeaDream Yacht
Club. The dress is resort casual with no formal attire required.
Any more questions, just ask!

I don't know which ones expect formal wear. I thought the Windstar sailings
were less formal....

Note, your idea of taking a short cruise may be an obstacle. There are far
fewer choices when you do not look at 7-night minimum.

Happy researching,

Except that most gents do wear a jacket with the shirt. It may be a
polo shirt, but they will usually have the jacket. "Casual" is a
relative term.

Any more questions, just ask!
