Mel,

I seriously don't think I could cope with a Worldie. Not just the number of formal nights, as I could opt out of some easily enough. I just think that 2 or maybe 3 weeks on a ship would be my limit.

I don't think any worldie is ready for the Romig effect

Agreed, you would have been put ashore long before that for various balcony activities.

Unfortunately we've got a balcony on Azura in April Wolfie

Thanks to The Invigilator's tip about the listing of dress-codes on individual cruises I just checked out the details for A310N

I'm most disappointed to see the mix of formal nights is totally rubbish!

As we have alternate sea-days and ports on our first week (followed by a port intensive second week) the dress code order is as follows:-

1) Soton - Eve Casual
2) At Sea - Black Tie
3) La Coruna - Smart Jacket
4) At Sea - Black Tie
5) Gibraltar (am) - Eve Casual
6) At Sea - Black Tie
7) Ajaccio - Eve Casual
8) Cittaveccia - Eve Casual
9) Monte Carlo - Smart Jacket
10) Barcelona - Eve Casual
11) Valencia - Smart Jacket
12) At Sea -Smart Jacket
13) At Sea - Black Tie
14) At Sea - Eve Casual

So, 3 Black Tie, formal nights in 5 days! Then a full week before the last one.

I personally think the squashing of formal nights dilutes the "special" nature of them -we had a similar thing on our cruise last year. I'd much rather have a more equal spacing even if that meant having one one a port day (subject to it not being a late departure port). I'd even prefer the dropping of one, leaving 3 on the 2 week cruise. Looking at the details of our particular cruise I feel sure that the order could have been better planned, and hope that this is indeed the case when onboard. If not, we may possibly dine elsewhere on one formal night, though I notice that both Sindhu and Seventeen are venues where the daily dress-code will apply.

Where do you find the info for specific cruises? Thank you

[Romig1]

They are here, but not sure which ships are shown in such detail. I did fill in the port itinerary from the brochure too...

Thanks - that was what I was looking at and we only have dress themes, number of nights in port etc, nothing else. Never mind!

Some may request a refund for having to put up with your balcony activities.

I just posted a quoted reply with one smilie and it was not accepted because the quoted post already contained 4 smilies!! Maximum is 5 smilies, it appears, but they were not mine!!!

What a good way to avoid a reply Romig!

Hi Romig

I can fully understand why you feel a bit miffed. Like you I enjoy formal nights “but not every other night”. As always you can always rely on Captain Suckie to come up with a solution. I know there’s a bit of the rebel in you so how about dropping one of the scheduled formal nights and replace it with one in the second week...preferably on a casual night as this will make a bigger statement. Don’t worry that every other person will be underdressed... this isn’t your concern, should anyone enquire as to why you’ve took this stance just tell then the Captain told you to do it

So Romig are you a man or a mouse?

I know what I would do

Squeak squeak

[Romig1]

Sounds like a plan Suckie...

But that is really odd and funny...only on Saturday night I had a dream in which Wina and I were dressed in formal gear on a cruise with everybody else dressed casually. I ended up eating in a buffet (with Ken and Julie) while Wina went back to the cabin in a strop and went to bed!
