Wonder Alaska Formal Night

I am curious how people dress for formal night on the Wonder in Alaska. Given the winter coats, layers, etc. packing for the trip will involve a lot of stuff and I am wondering what I can avoid bringing. Thanks!

Based on our 2022 Alaskan Cruise, which was in May, people will be dressed anywhere from full on formal wear to casual on formal and semi-formal night. I don't do the dress up, since I'm very uncomfortable in formal wear so I was in shorts and a polo shirt on those two nights, which my dressed in nice pants and top.

We packed a lot of cold weather clothing that we didn't end up wearing and except for the day at the glacier, we didn't need the cold weather clothing. I spent most of the cruise in shorts and a t-shirt, since the temp was between 67 and 74 degrees on the port days of our cruise. According to some of the tour guides, the week before, it was cold, with a mix of snow and rain, so, you just have to be prepared for just about any type of weather.

I was on an Alaska sailing at the beginning of the month, so hopefully I am able to provide some help. 1) I was surprised by how many people were wearing formal wear given the need to bring so many different outfits on an Alaskan cruise. 2) Out of all of the 7 night sailings (usually more people dress-up on longer sailings) that I have been on, the Alaska formal night had by far the fewest amount of people dressed formally. So in summary, there were more people than I expected but not as many as usual.

I will concur with one of the previous posters that Alaska has been my most casual cruise of the ones i have done. There were a lot of sweatshirts at dinner throughout the cruise.

Formal and semi formal nights on DCL are completely optional so you can dress casually every night if you want. I just bring one dressier top and wear it to the dress up nights with my black pants, and do the same for Palo since we pack light.

I don't think I saw a single person in very formal wear on our cruise this year. I did see several people is dressy casual, as well as several people in their every day clothes.

dressing up on an Alaska cruise for me is more like getting out of any of the sweaty dirty adventure clothes from earlier that day

Alaska is tough to pack for. By the time I get my thermal underwear, ski parkas, gloves, raingear, boots, etc. into my bag, there isn't a lot of room for formal wear.
