| Oh no I'm really worried now - I have the usual black cocktail dress, but I have also splashed out on 2 quite expensive, coloured cocktail dresses (I'm new to cruising). One is red and the other is a champagne colour, both with black accessories though. My husband will be co-ordinating his bow tie and cummerbund to match my dress colours - will we look out of place on formal nights? I would hate to think I've wasted my money

| There is no rule saying you must wear Black and white --wear your Champagne coloured dress with black accessories ------ They are hardly likely to make you walk the plank --it is your holiday -Wear what you want --only if you wear red or yellow --most people say you want to be noticed .

| Despite some remarks, as I say wear what you like but just try, if you can to fit in, if you can't as Flora says it won't matter.. really it won't.

| Black and white is normally more supported for those who like the ballroom dancing. I have a black dress with splashes of white or may wear a black dress with white wrap but i think anything dark and formal is ok. Enjoy your first cruise.

I agree with the above comment about adding some white accessories to a black long or cocktail dress, thats what ladies can do on b & w night. I have a black evening bag with a small white flower attached, and a sheer white shawl worn with long black dress. Plus a bracelet perhaps of ebony and ivory for example. Don't agree its mainly woman who ballroom dance, nearly every woman will be making the effort , and very few are dancers.
