JKeila Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Does anyone know which night (s) are the formal (tux) nights on the Harmony? Cruising on May 26, 2018 and I don't know how many dinner jackets/formal dresses to pack for my family? Also, are there any business casual nights in the MDR?

JLMoran Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Hi JKeila, welcome to the forums! General information about formal night, including which nights it's typically held, can be found here. In addition, the YouTube video below covers all of Royal's different dress styles (casual, smart casual, and formal), and even gives some good examples of the different styles for kids and adults. Smart Casual is basically the same as business casual, and makes up most of the dinner nights on a cruise. First night is usually casual, due to not everyone having their luggage delivered before dinner, and there may be one or two other fully casual dinner nights towards the end of the trip. The rest of the nights will be smart casual, except for the designated formal nights. JKeila 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Easy way to find out the formal nights is to refer to a past Cruise Compass. We keep an archive of past Cruise Compass here: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/cruise-compass JKeila 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADK Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 Is formal night only in the main dining room? Are the other complimentary restaurants still casual on formal nights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many who don’t want to dress up on their cruise just plan on going to the Windjammer those nights. Specialty dining venues, however, follow the main dining room’s stated dress level for each evening. So if you have a reservation at Giovanni’s Table and it’s formal night, you’ll still be dressing up. ADK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We found on the week we were on freedom that it was pretty dress casual on the formal nights in both sabor and chops. Jane ADK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the other complimentary restaurants still casual on formal nights? Correct. Formal night and any other dress code printed in the Cruise Compass applies only to the main dining room for dinner. Specialty restaurants have their own dress codes that supercede the MDR dress code. Casual restaurants, like the Windjammer or Cafe Promenade have a very basic dress code that mostly consists of shirts, shoes and pants required and you cannot be dripping wet from the pool.
