Formal night on "Anytime Dining"

[denmarks]

Is formal night the same for cruisers dining in the "Anytime Dining" dining rooms as traditional dining?

Although formal night dress would be the same .. there is no Baked Alaska parade at anytime dining venues.. only traditional dining

Pretty much as Joey said. Not much difference. I've never been much of a fan of all of the "entertaining" done in the dining room, so giving up the Baked Alaska parade isn't a deal breaker.

If you mean freestyle dining (like NCL): My answer would be based on the last ship NCL ship we took and there wasn't any formal night.

If you mean going to a pay dining room during formal night: My answer would be folks tend to dress up a little more in the pay dining room anyway. It is a smaller venue (tables of 2-4 mainly) and there is no dancing, singing, announcements. It's more like dining in a restaurant.

We only paid for one meal in all of the cruises that we took and that wasn't during formal night so I can't speak for how dressed up people get.

I think they call it "Anytime Dining" on Princess....and there is no difference. They have formal nights in the dining rooms just like with Traditional Dining.

Yes indeed, they do call it Anytime Dining on Princess. Just got off the ship yesterday and the dress code was the same on Formal Night as for the International Dining Room. And, most dressed up with lots of tuxes and suits for the gentlemen. DW was the only one I saw with a floor length gown with a train, which made her a "show stopper."

I should buy stock in Lily Rubin.
