Do people wear long dresses on cruises?

On a seven-night cruise expect two black-tie nights, which means dinner jacket or dark suit and tie for men, cocktail frock or long dress for women. If you don't want to dress up, you'll be limited to the buffet restaurant or room service for the gala evenings, neither of which exudes quite the same glamour.

I usually dress for dinner, but they don't have to be completely different outfits for each evening. Usually a long skirt and a pair of dress pants, and 2 or 3 dressy tops (which are incredibly small when rolled) will do me for a week or 10-day cruise. For your 4-nighter, 1 or 2 evening outfits will be fine.
