I don't remember but is the dining room available on the first night of cruise? also what nights are formal, and when is the past guest party?
Thanks, David (ps we are on Victory if it matters)

Yes the dining room is open the first night, its a good night to get to know your waiter. Formal nights depend on the length of your cruise. For a 7 day cruise they are usually the 2nd night and the night before the last night. If you post your exact itinerary I can give a more accurate guess as to when your formal nights will be held.

The past guest party is held on a different night on each ship. On one of our cruises it was the night after the first formal night, on another cruise it was the night after our last port of call.

If I recall correctly the first night the dress is casual in the dinning room because most people haven't gotten all their luggage yet so they do let you wear shorts. But only on the first night. After that, no shorts in the dining room.

Hi David,

You can go to the dining room the first night, and you are allowed to go in jeans (because most people dont have their luggage yet.)

As for formal nights, they are usually the 2 full day and 2nd last day of your cruise, depending on length of cruise. They are never on inport nights.

Hope that helps :)

Interesting comments. In all of my cruises I have always had my luggage with pleanty of time to spare before getting ready for dinner. I would never think of wearing jeans or shorts to the dining room for dinner.

Hello,

Since we always select late seating dinner, getting our clothes in time has never been an issue for us.

I do have a couple of thoughts about the first night. I think it is very important to arrive early for your dinner seating on the first night. My wife an I try to be among the first to enter the dining room so that we have first choice of seats at the table. On our previous trips, we have had the same seats each night, so having a choice on the first night is important to us.
