Creator's Key Takeaways
Most cruise lines do have formal nights, but the vibe totally depends on the ship.
On Royal Caribbean, think cocktail dress, nice shirt, and pants polished, but not over the top.
Carnival, way more casual. You'll see sundresses and button-downs.
So, you don't need to overpack, but I always recommend bringing one outfit that makes you feel great.
