Have you been on a carnival cruise?

Travel Info
This is what the FAQ's say about the dress code.

"Depending on the length of the cruise, either formal dress or casual resort wear is required in the Dining Room. The dress requirement for children is the same. For those not wanting to dress up, the Lido restaurants are open nightly (with the exception of the last evening of the cruise), and have a casual dress code. Formal Wear: tuxedo (optional); suit and tie; sport coat, tie and slacks; evening gown; cocktail dress; pantsuit Casual Resort Wear: sport shirts and slacks; dresses; skirts; pantsuit NOTE: Shorts, t-shirts and bathing attire are not permitted in the Dining Room during dinner. "

So should I buy a suit? This is a 4 day cruise on the Fascination cruise ship.

i was just on the same ship. for formal night u dont need a suit just get a tie a dress shirt and pants... trust me there are people that dont dress up and if u dont they will still let u in the cocktail party and dinner trust me i saw people with cutoff shorts and a woman does not need a real fancy dress either. trust me you will enjoy seeing other peoples versions of dressed up.

For a 4 day, just wear a shirt and tie.
yeah you should. The dining room is formal and you won't see anyone that isn't dressed up. Even the waiters are dressed formally. It really is nice kind of like a five star restaurant in my opinion
Men will wear a suit,tux, dress pants,shirt,tie and jacket. If you don't want to go buy something you can rent a tux on board. On a 4 day cruise you will only have 1 dress night.
Just go with a nice shirt/ tie and slacks ... sportscoat if you have one. The dining room meals are nice, but I honestly prefer just hitting the buffets or sushi bars. Do the dining room on lobster tail night.. you can have as many as you want. don't forget your flask.
I was going to go on a Carnival Cruise, but when the Cruise ship pulled to the doc 1.4 Million Clowns poured out and I got Intimidated.

You don't need a suit, but a blazer, slacks, a nice shirt, and dress shoes would be fine for formal night.
