Is this dress okay for formal night on a carnival cruise?

I just got off a two week long cruise 3 days ago…we had 3 formal nights- I would say that cruising has become less formal than it was in the past.
Your dress would be fine for the formal night, but it may be a bit on the short side ( I don’t think so, but some of the older guests on board might think so)….most people wear longer dresses or pants with a fancy top.

If you love the dress wear it though! There aren’t too many rules for clothing on cruise ships anymore- they just don’t want to see you walking into the dining room in shorts, jeans or nasty dirty clothes!

Enjoy your trip!

    Ehh not really, it seems too flashy. Unless you get the black one, that might work. But the other colors aren’t quite formal enough, maybe something like these:

    I think its a little to short! I was on a recent cruise and most were dresses a little above their knees or below!
