Which night is formal night? Also, is there still a Pirate night?

[FigmentSpark]

We're on a Fantasy 7 day Western.

Also, are people still dressing up for formal night?

Is there any dressing up or festivities for Pirate night (if there is one)?

Maybe I'll bring black masks for pirate night? No, wait, those should be for formal night (black tie and black mask?)

Any other night themes I should know about?

Yes, some people dress up for formal night.

Pirate night is not as big as it used to be. No pirate show pre-fireworks.

 

[FigmentSpark]

Okay, thanks.

Do you know which night is formal night?

 

[PrincessShmoo]

Okay, thanks.

Do you know which night is formal night?

I believe, usually it's the second night out.

Formal night is Sunday night. I forget which night was buchaneer takeover, not pirate night anymore. It was middle of the week!

 

[Snowwhyt]

Okay, thanks.

Do you know which night is formal night?

Usually 2nd, was that way 6 times for me at least.

which western were you on? which night was pirate night for dining?

We are on the March 26 Western. I emailed Disney to ask the same thing. Email back said formal night is Sunday, pirate night is Tues(on our 2 previous Western cruises it had been on Monday, so I was surprised it had been changed to Tues). Semi-formal is Thursday. All other nights are dress casual.

As PrincessShmoo said, some people dress up, but others still arrive in the MDR wearing shorts and "T's".

I would typically take a Tux with me, but for our HI-Vancouver cruise I'm opting to leave it home. Already have too much luggage (2 days pre in HI, 3 days post in Vancouver). I'll take a jacket and ties for the various 'dress-up" activities.

Had 2 formal nights on our EBPC (14N) a few years back.

 

[CampbellzSoup]

Did you dress up for both!

 

[JWelch62]

I did. I brought two different tux shirts. One with a bow tie, and one with a standard black tie.

I did confirm with Dcl that in March 26 western, pirate theme night is day 4. Grand cayman

…but the pirate theme is so watered down now...it's comprised of photo backdrops and the characters making appearances. I mean what's the excuse not to have the main dining room staff dress up and have a pirate menu? Star Wars shows and fireworks are ok but pirate themed shows are not?

I think it is still due to the Covid restrictions and the Cruise length. On the EBPC we had a pretty good "Pirate Showing" by the crew and we also had (albeit slightly modified) show on Deck 9 right before the fireworks. Intr3pd also reported the Deck show for the WBPC cruise this month. Sorry the pic is blurry.
