Question

Do formal nights on navigator of the seas mean long dresses for women?

Answer 1

Formal nights have truly lightened up in the last 10 years.

There are 3 groups (for simplicity):

1) enjoy formal night, go all out (long gowns and tux) and make sure to have portraits taken - all part of the fun!

2) people like me - that aren't really into it, but - get into some fancy duds (which is a fancy top, black skirt and not flip-flops);

3) People that don't join in and really should have gone to the buffet.......

I agree with cruiseships keeping SOME of the 'grandeur and graciousness' of the cruises that came before. You don't have to participate (it's not the only place to eat; and it's only 1ce or 2ce), but many people find it a fun part of the cruise. Let them enjoy!

Answer 2

Typically women can wear whatever they want to any event, while men are limited to either a suit and tie or a tuxedo. Women have much more latitude.

Answer 3

I would say yes.  Not necessarily floor length, you could possibly get away with knee length.

Answer 4

You don't have to have a long dress, a little black number is just as effective, as long as you feel gorgeous in it, and the man in your life thinks you look fantastic, that's all that matters.

Enjoy yourself.

Answer 5

YES  - wear your long dress.  You will not be alone!!!!

Answer 6

Formal night on any cruise ship is just about dressing up a bit more. I've seen many gals in black slacks with a fancier top. Some also dig out the old long formals and get yet one more use out of them! Packing can be a pain if you drag too many things you will only wear once, especially if this is just a 7 day cruise. You will not be thrown out of the dining room if you are not super fancy! Enjoy yourself and don't stress about what to wear!

Answer 7

Yepl, but they do have alternative dining even on formal night so you do not need to get dressed up. That is a great ship. I love Royal Caribbean!!!
