Topic: Fine Dining/ Dressing Up!

Hands up if you get a good warm feeling be it man or woman. How do you feel.? In crowd or out of place, or no thanks.

I wish every night on board was formal......................

Definitely. An opportunity to be poised and elegant.!!!!!

Love to dress up for a formal night, don't do fine dining if there's a supplement - too many other options.

I'm a no thank you, I dress to please myself & only myself. i am a pensioner, & in all my years I have only been asked to leave 2 places, The Hogs Back Hotel, I was not wearing a tie & the Marlow hotel, here I did did not even make it into the Hotel Car Park, my camper van did not fit in with the Rollers, Porsches, Etc. a Gentleman in a Bowler hat ( The car Park attendant) made it quite clear I could not go into the Hotel !!

Count us as a "yes" for dressing up on formal nights - a lovely opportunity, and the shipboard ambience is wonderful when people look so special. Besides, hubby fancies himself something rotten in a DJ !!!!!!!!!!
Not so bothered about the special restaurants - half the pleasure is in meeting wonderful people at dinner, and it's more usual to sit at a table just for two in the "premium" places ...

Cheers,
Lynn

That was unfortunate,it would have clashed with the scenery

Thank you Lynn. You feel absolutely fabulous, and sophisticated.

So do I. Less luggage to carry for Semi Formal/Smart Casual Evenings.

I did it for business functions and hated every minute of it - most people JMHO look uncomfortable - it is so Downton Abbey - the world has moved on.
