Answer 2

You can do this but it depends....are you a man or a woman.

For a man it would be harder because of the space a suit takes up

I've seen (I've got) formals that take up almost no space so I've done it

You can do it if you are willing to wash clothes on board.   I take quick dry pants and shirts.   I take only one dress for formal nights w/ one pair of shoes.   I wear sneakers on the plane to the cruise and wear those most of the time.

I think you get the idea.   We did an Antarctica cruise with HOT days in Buenos Aires and COLD days in Antartica with a rolling carry on and a back pack each
