      They removed her back in late 2010 (only a month or so after our first cruise) due to having rusted through. I wish they could bring another of the ships to port!

So let's break those down Formal These evenings, most guests seem to go with somewhere in the range of "Sunday Best" to cocktail dress. Some opt for tuxes and ball gowns (when else can you really wear one?) Jackets, although requested on the website, seem pretty rare. Dark slacks and a button down are more common.  Rocking the sweater vests and tiaras.
