I did the 9-night ABC itinerary and participated in a joint live thread in which I and the other person posted menus and compasses. I will PM you the link as it was done on a different forum.

amanx Posted August 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 I read your thread. Helpful in many cases but i am on a 5 night so not sure which MDR menus i should be looking at as you were on a 9 night,. I am sure the second formal night menu with lobster is out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FionaMG Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Ah, yes, that does make a difference. I am glad it helped to some extent, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on a 12 night last fall and there are 10 different menus, so we had repeats two nights. You could get any combination of those 10.

Generally from what we've experienced they won't post the MDR menus for the next day til later in the evening the night before. On a 7 night cruise, nights 2 and 6 are usually Formal Nights with 6 lobster night if that helps. Happy cruising! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a 5 night so doesnt really help- knew there wouldnt be 2x formal. but knowing i cant know on day one is both concerning and but at least i know. Not that it helps at this point lol. i did book a cruise after repositioning so my fault i guess. But havent cruised since 2004 so am rusty. Wasnt so much moving ships back and forth from europe back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't sailed a 5 night cruise, but I know a lot of people here have and maybe somebody can give you a least a little insight as to what night is Formal night.

On night 6 will will be docked overnight in Paris (Le Havre) France, in your option will they still have a Formal night that night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amanx Posted September 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 I drive by Le Havre twice every summer on the way to and fro my little gite in Brittany lol. My formal night is going to be no2. I think on a 7 day sailing formal no2 is day 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
