Momof4crazytocruise Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Not RCL - but a little funny - I guess the British have a different interpretation of "Fancy Dress" - man wears clown outfit to formal night, sparks major brawl. “He said one witness "explained to staff that things kicked off when another passenger appeared dressed as a clown. This upset one of their party because they'd specifically booked a cruise with no fancy dress. It led to a violent confrontation." https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-49137520?ns_campaign=bbc_south_today&ns_linkname=english_regions&ns_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR25nGm3L4EPhBuEVBK2U1sqNseTyKa6ikKrz6ImHnlwaplK6NMk9bFPJlk MrMarc, JLMoran and Ladyxsuebee 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momof4crazytocruise Posted July 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 I believe "Fancy Dress" in the UK means costume party. LOL. Ladyxsuebee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChessE4 Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 I am not tracking how the ship's dining room would be occupied in the wee hours of the morning (Friday). Is anyone else puzzled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew72681 Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Guess those punches weren’t as much fun as getting sprayed in the face with a trick flower. I’d never heard the fancy dress term until earlier in this week listening to a podcast from Piff the Magic Dragon who’s magician persona came from a fancy dress aka costume party.
