Dressier than smart casual, Evening Chic is less dressy than formal attire. We are evolving the traditional cruise ship formal night. Now, on up to two nights on every cruise, Evening Chic activities are being introduced. While dressier than Smart Casual, Evening Chic is intended to be less dressy than Formal attire.
Midship staterooms on the lowest passenger deck are the most excellent spot to be on a cruise ship in this instance because you don't feel the vessel sway as much.
Generally speaking, Celebrity Cruises is more expensive than sister-brand Royal Caribbean. Since the cruise line focuses more on luxury, innovation and cutting-edge design, this is where it differentiates itself from budget-friendly Royal Caribbean.
Shipboard dress is casual during the day. Shorts and tasteful T-shirts are acceptable even in the dining room. At dinner, dress codes will vary daily, among the following: Casual: Slacks and sport shirt for men (no jeans); slacks and blouse, sundress or pantsuit for women.
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.
At night for dinner guests can go for casual or smart casual clothes at most of the restaurants. Although for specialty restaurants in cruise ships a formal dress code is suggested. The cruise line does not have any kind of formal nights but 'Norwegian's night out' can be considered as the formal night.
You'll see suits and ties, tuxedos or evening gowns, but don't have to go so formal yourself. Shorts (including cutoff jeans), T-shirts, sportswear, flip-flops, bathing suits, caps and men's sleeveless shirts are never permitted in the main dining room or specialty restaurants during dinner.
What Not to Pack? Weapons, illegal drugs, and other items that could interfere with the safe operation of the ship or the safe and secure environment of our guests and crew are prohibited.
Guests are mostly couples, sophisticated and affluent with an average age of 55. On shorter cruises and those in the Caribbean you'll find some guests in their 30s & 40s. More than half of the guests will be from North America.

Ice Cream. A deliciously sweet scoop of ice cream is an essential part of any vacation—on land or at sea. On Celebrity Cruises, this refreshing snack is available for free at the Oceanview Cafe.
Celebrity tends to get a bit older crowd as they don't care about rock climbing, water slides, parachuting, surfing, zip lining, or catering to kids needs. Although Celebrity charges higher prices for supposedly being a bit more upscale, they are too big of ships to be considered high end luxury cruises.
