Carnival Cruise Elegant Nights or Formal Nights are formal events where passengers can dress up and get their photos taken with the Captain, and then enjoy a wonderful dinner in the Main Dining Room. There are also many other photo opportunities all along the corridors leading to the Dining Rooms. It is not mandatory to attend.

The length of the Cruise determines the Number of Cruise Elegant nights in the Dining Room.

1 Day Cruise – no Cruise Elegant Night.

2-5 Day Cruises – one Cruise Elegant Night.

6-10 Day Cruises – two Cruise Elegant Nights.

11 Day Cruises or Longer – three Elegant Nights.
