im pretty sure that most 7 nights have 2 formal nights

can someone confirm this?

Yes, 2 Usually the first is a "Gown and Tux" formal and the 2nd is a resort formal or "jacket and slacks" formal night.

On carnival...anything goes

I agree with Ryan, there will probably be 2 on that cruise, but with you wont have to get dressed up if you dont want to

When I saw this link I saved it. It has a chart that tells you the cruise length and how many formal nights there are. It gives you a general idea but ts for RCL though.

On Carnival if your cruise is 6 or more days, you will have 2 formal nights.

I'm guessing you're first formal night will be the night after your first fun day at sea, and your second formal night will be the night before your last fun day at sea.

I dress up too! It used to be a parental forced "you have to look nice for dinner and pictures" thing, but now that I'm getting older it is fun to shop for dresses and look nice for some pictures and dinner. I have noticed that a lot of times the sea days can determine where the formal nights are placed, but don't quote me on that one. lol

2nd formal night is always night 5 or 6 depending on the itinerary.

xDaisy18 · #10 (**permalink**) February 26th, 2009, 06:26 PM

wow, thanks you guys. you were all a lot of help. looks like i'll be shopping for two dresses

I_Live_4_Cruises · #11 (**permalink**) February 26th, 2009, 06:28 PM

Yayyy shopping! haha Think cocktail/evening dresses. Let us know what you pic or post pics of what you find to wear.

Uhh i hated those days where i had to dress up. It seemed pointless to me. Anyway i barely ate in the dining room anyway.

I_Live_4_Cruises · #13 (**permalink**) February 26th, 2009, 06:38 PM

I always eat in the dining room. haha No choice, but then again the food is pretty good so I'm not complaining. lol

xDaisy18 · #14 (**permalink**) February 26th, 2009, 06:41 PM

hhaha yeah ill definitely post pictures when i get a dress!

nace0 · #15 (**permalink**) February 26th, 2009, 06:45 PM

Well for this next cruise im going to be 16 so im not going to have a way out of it. Parents wont be too happy if i ditch them to go hangout. =]

I_Live_4_Cruises · #16 (**permalink**) February 26th, 2009, 07:31 PM

I can't wait to see pics!

And my parents are the same way. I definitely can't ditch them for friends. lol

KTS1193 · #17 (**permalink**) February 26th, 2009, 09:10 PM

KTS1193 · #18 (**permalink**) February 26th, 2009, 09:11 PM

my mom doesnt care.
but i really wanna go to this time, cause the food is so good compared to the Windjammer (rccl buffet)

Djcarolina · #19 (**permalink**) February 27th, 2009, 12:59 AM

I love the formal nights, especially on the longer cruises cuz you get to dress up, look good, take pictures all that good stuff.

I don't think i've posted this one cuz I just found it, one of my formals from the freedom...

bbozeman · #22 (**permalink**) March 2nd, 2009, 04:44 PM

Ainsley · #23 (**permalink**) March 3rd, 2009, 12:13 AM

bbozeman · #24 (**permalink**) March 3rd, 2009, 12:24 AM

Ashleyx3 · #25 (**permalink**) March 4th, 2009, 01:19 PM

when i went on the glory in march 2007 there was one formal night
and it was a 7 day cruise

xDaisy18 · #26 (**permalink**) March 4th, 2009, 06:13 PM

oh hmmm interesting. now im not sure. i guess i can always call carnival and check.

I_Live_4_Cruises · #27 (**permalink**) March 5th, 2009, 01:30 PM

I have been on the Glory and there was definitely 2 formal nights. I have never heard or a 7 day Carnival cruise that didn't have 2 formal nights.
