The era of FORMAL NIGHTS is fading rapidly...

How about if that jerk had a tux? Then would be it be ok? How
about the other nights of the cruise? You're proof that clothes
don't matter. A buffoon in a tux is still a buffoon.

This is basicly what we saw on Veendam last crusie - my wife brought 4
evening gowns - I brought 2 tuxes. We did totally formal for those nights.
On informal nights a good deal of the men including me wore sports jackets
or blazsers - many of us with ties. I can only speak from second
seating - but in the lounges at night again many people were dressed this
way. We don't do Bingo or art auctions and tend to go with the lounge that
has the Ball room dancing band. But again many couples hand different
formal Gowns, and tux accessories each formal night. My only regret is a
left my summer tuxes at home - my wife thought white may not be
appropriate for the Artic Circle - but others did. I honestly don't
understand the total abhorance some folks have of formal, unless they rent
and are not an easily fit size.

Actually, on HAL ship's formal night passengers are requested to remain
in formal attire in the theater, casino, lounges, and other common

My recent Maasdam cruise was not all that dressy....lots of sport coats
I would say on formal night. Me, I do a black suit. Everyone should
own a black suit (or for gals, a little black dress....)

I've been on six cruises (my seventh coming up in two weeks) and the
only ship that I remember having male guests in tuxedos was the
Maasdam. This was in the Baltic in 2000. I could be wrong, but it
seemed the majority of the passengers were American. The now defunct
Stella Solaris, the Costa Magica and the Croatian Dalmacija, all
sailing in Europe of course, were all *very* informal.

UHHH suggested and requested DO NOT MEAN THE SAME!!!!
Royal Caribbean neither requests nor suggests you to wear formal attire
on formal night. It is not in the contract either!!!!!

So, what's YOUR take on why cruise lines continue to have Formal Night?

Because men in tuxes are irresistibly sexy.

I agree with you.Do not like to sit with riff-raff,do not mind how
people dress,as long as they are clean,and fairly polite,and do not have

When I was growing up ... I was the type of boy my parents wouldn't
let me play with ...
Maybe Clint is the type of person he doesn't want to sit with ...

When I was on the Veendam -- one night it said "jackets requested".
One of the gents I saw in the dining room was wearing a windbreaker.

I guess they needed to be more specific.

Ermalee, can you even imagine the fun I'd have sitting with Clint at a
table? I doubt if Clint's really like this, but if he was, it'd be
grist for my mill.
