JAMIECHYK Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 So I know that on a 7 day cruise, formal nights are typically nights 2 and 6. Our itinerary changed and we will have 4 extra hours in Barbados (leaving at 9pm) on night 6. Is it likely that this will still be formal night or will they change it? We're actually looking forward to dressing up for dinner and don't want to book evening things if it's formal night, but we also don't want to miss out on the fun in Barbados if it's not! Thanks!

WAAAYTOOO Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 Unless it’s unavoidable, MOST often, formal nights are on sea days vs days when the ship is in port. I would expect that your formal night would not be a night when you are in Barbados unless there’s just no other night to have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 There is no absolute rule that formal nights are on 2 & 6, it happens to work out that in many cases. They avoid day 1 and day 7 on 7 night cruises and they tend to avoid having two formal nights in a row so 2 & 6 is a logical pattern but anything is possible. Are there cruise compasses for a similar itinerary? https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/cruise-compass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FManke Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 The most recent cruise compass for our upcoming cruise shows formal nights on 3 and 6, both port days, as we only have one sea day and it happens to be day 7. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMIECHYK Posted July 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Our sea day is day 7 as well. I didn't see any itineraries just like ours, but I may have just missed it. ChessE4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our upcoming Western Caribbean Harmony cruise, because Day 7 is a sea day, the second formal will be Day 6, when we depart Costa Maya at 3 PM. Folks will be on board in time to prep for dinner, should they choose to go formal. So the formal can be on a "port" day. I also believe the Captain is allowed to modify the dress code, but I haven't sailed your itinerary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if all Freedom cruises out of San Juan to the Southern Caribbean on this itinerary got changed or if we're on the same sailing? Freedom August 18th! I have MTD scheduled for 7:30 that night and I can't decide if I should push it back or forward! More Barbados time or done with dinner in time for sail away?

MotleyCruiser Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 On 7 nighters I've seen formal night typically night 2 and night 5 OR 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
