formal nights

[onamission]

Does anyone know which nights they have the formal nights i.e. Captains dinner. We would like to plan one of the excusions on Aruba, and it is on the friday night before we head back to Puerto Rico. Someone said that the formal nights are usually planned on the "at sea" nights. Is that true?

Which cruise are you taking? Formal nights can vary, depending on the cruise length and itinerary.

On the Triumph (Western Caribbean) the Captain's Formal night was the 2nd night out and the Gala night was the 2nd last night on a 7 day cruise

When you say the gala is on the 2nd last night...do you mean the last night before we come into port?

onamission,

Your two formal nights will be on the Tuesday and Thursday of your cruise.

I got my info by looking at some recent copies of the Carnival Capers for the Destiny cruises from San Juan. I doubt they changed the routine. Plus, they are not going to have a formal night when the ship is in a port until 10pm, as is the case with your Aruba stop. They realize many guests will still be ashore.
