That Time I Was All Formal...

Some people love it, some people hate it*. Personally, when we cruise, we love dressing up for formal night! (and every night really.)

I've noticed that people want to know what other people wear....

Here is Royal Caribbean's dress code, NCL doesn't have a dress code except one of the Dining Rooms and Specialty dining rooms have a few restrictions that they don't actually have online (below), and Carnival has one but isn't really linkable on their site (also below). I'll let you guys google for other cruise lines' dress codes :)

Norwegian (Summer Palace is a Dining Room on the Pearl)

Carnival

As I head off for my next cruise today, I wanted to start a post with my collection formal night attire, to be updated after each cruise:

And an Electric-White-Hot-Glow Night Photo for good measure.

*Some of these people think they are cool for ignoring the dress code and wearing whatever they want. Yes, the cruise lines will let you get away with this, but it's so rude to the other guests who look forward to being fancy, and then have to see fellow diners in shorts and jeans with holes in them. Please invest in one pair of khakis and a polo shirt.
