There is a night called "Dress-up Night" on the 5 night cruise. It is held on the sea day. So I guess that leaves it open to how formal you want to be.

Leaving on the sunday would mean that it would be formal the day we go to Nassau? That's weird

The second night of the five day cruise departing Sunday is actually at Castaway Cay, not so weird.

Dress-up night and formal night are entirely different. Unfortunately, there's a lot of confusion between the two on this forum.

Formal night means a tuxedo or suit for men and a gown or dress for women -- or something in that spirit. It's even possible to arrange tuxedo rentals ahead of time. Not all passengers wear formal attire, but most do.

"Dress-up night" means a jacket for men and dress or pantsuit for women -- or something in that spirit. For many passengers, it simply means, "wear the nicest casual clothes that you packed." There's really no reason to pack a suit and tie. Tuxedo rentals are not available. A man who brings and wears a tuxedo would probably feel way over-dressed.

We're on a 5 night in June and I was surprised that we received an email about tux rental. We were not interested, but it made me think that "dress-up night" might be dressier than I thought.
