Cruisers Broke Formal Night — And Then Somehow Saved It

Published November 7, 2026


Description

Formal night on cruises has changed a lot, and the reaction to Carnival’s recent Elegant Night news made me realize this debate is about a lot more than just what people wear to dinner.

In this video, I look at why formal night still gets such a strong reaction, why people who seem to disagree may actually be talking about completely different things, and why the answer may depend more on the type of cruise than most people realize.

Do you still dress up for formal night, or has that tradition run its course?
