Gala Evening, Elegant night , posh night. We've been on a few ships now and have heard this night called various things. But in basic terms you put on a fancy outfit for the evening and eat some fancy food!
So we show you in this video what to expect on this grand evening whilst onboard a Princess cruise with this one specifically being the Discovery Prinncess. Let's just say though this was the best Formal evening we have experienced on any cruise ship yet!
Hope you enjoy 😁

So what are your thoughts about gala/formal nights? Do you like to dress up or keep things more casual? And do you look forward to the food in the MDR or do you prefer the buffet/speciality restaurant

@carmelshepherd6739 Жыл бұрын

I get dressed up every night I love it ,if I'm tired may have a night off 😊

@craigweightman799 Жыл бұрын

I'm with Kev i don't like dressing up why do i have to please other people and feel uncomfortable doing it.

My dad loved buying a new tux and dicky bow when we went on MSC gala night. It is very rare to be able to this now. I loved seeing the outfits on other passengers. But we we're traveling from Southampton and not flying - I think it's more difficult if your flying with case allowance... I'm normally a Jean's and t-shirt on holiday but enjoyed dressing up for one night.

I will wear nice black jeans and a nice sweater And black shoes Some jewelry. That's about as dressed up as i get!!!

@cindycheung6062 3 ай бұрын

dressing up! It's so rare to have opportunities to do this now and I go all out black tie/white tie dress code. It's so much fun and really marks the occasion as something special to enjoy yourselves with you loved ones.

I am really lucky to actually find your clip which randomly came to my feed!! It was really my honor to have you two sit with me. I will definitely pass your comments to the chef about the food hahaha!! I hope that you had a great cruise! And I hope that sometime in the future I will run into you again! Those 9 months were tough for me, yes but it is because of guests like yourself it went smoothly! Thank you so much again for your comments! It really means a lot! ♥♥

Really enjoying your vlog series. I've been on a few cruises over the years (mainly Mediterranean and Caribbean) and I tend to avoid formal nights. Just my preference. There's always been plenty of alternatives anyway I guess when I'm away on holiday I just don't want to have to wear suit, shirt n tie. Must say I think I would love an Alaskan cruise. That's now on my bucket list! 😊😊

Thanks so much Jonathan and fair enough, its your holiday so you've got to do what suits you best and what your most comfortable with. And yes we would definitely recommend a Alaska cruise 😁

Great video! We love princess cruises, and have a Norway cruise coming up on Sky (sister ship to Discovery). With regards to the shows, as you say, they’re not ‘bookable’, it’s more to serve as a reminder to yourself as to what you’re interested in doing (same as all of the other activities on the planner). I believe you can now have a reserved spot if you have the princess premier package, but these are then released to all passengers about 5 minutes before show starts if they haven’t been used.

Princess and RCI have the best formal nights by far.. We quite enjoy them, its nice to stick the glad rags on for an evening.. means you can wear a Tux, drink a martini and pretend you're James Bond

@maryanncapece2623 Жыл бұрын

Hi you two. I like getting dressed up a little. Don't have the chance to do it as often at home. I actually got the chance to climb the steps and pour some champagne on that tower. It was so fun. I liked the food in the MDR on Princess. The food all looked good! Always like a good show. Thank you! PS, you both look good 👍

Enjoyed the Gala Evening, Stacey and Kev. Impressive stacking of champagne glasses. Even more impressive of the young lady dancing with a platter of them on her head! But, the absolute most impressive was the lovely young lady having her photo with the Captain! I've relayed my thoughts before on getting dressed up again since retiring. Have done it very little and want to keep it that way. They can put me in a suit when they plant me. Won't argue at all! While still here we always love a buffet, but the food here looked delicious. Great show too! Thanks for bringing us along.

Again another fantastic vlog. When watching i was thinking about the entertainment and lo and behold you mention it. You wanted me to let you know about Anthem of the seas. Hubby and i haven't been on RCI for many years and felt that on this company we were most comfortable, well I'm happy to say they didnt disappoint . Spotless. Our standard balcony cabin on deck 12 was really big for the two of us. And a good size balcony too. The places we visited were a bit well not so good. The buffet breakfast in Windjammer was really good. Main restaurant was good as well. The shows were amazing we had the gift and we will rock you. (Saw WWRY ) twice it was that good. Belated happy birthday Stacey as well. Glad Alaska is what you expected and it looks so amazing Take care guys Therese xx

Honestly i couldn't believe the amount of people in walking boots and fleece jumpers. If i knew i could of just worn my normal shirts i wear i would of just taken that. The suit took up so much space in our case which i needed for more warm clothes lol. You will have a great time though we loved cruising with princess

We have just booked the DIscovery Princess for Alaska and we were wondering what day the captains speech with champagne tour was roughly? Also which dining room did you prefer? Thank you, we really like your videos.

@OneCouplesAdventure 11 ай бұрын

Hi thanks so much and both the MDR'S we used were nice but the skagway was midship and the Ketchikan was at the back so had slightly more nicer views of the ocean. Cant go wrong with either though 😁 and regarding the Captains speech it was the First full sea day

@sherriedolder900 Жыл бұрын

Great video. Thank you for the information! Question: Would you book the specialty restaurants or just stay with the main dining? Is it worth it? Is the food really that different and better? We're sailing in December. Thank you so much!

@OneCouplesAdventure Жыл бұрын

Hi this was our 6th cruise and the only one where we didn't feel like we needed to do any speciality restaurants as we thought the included food available was fantastic. We will have a buffet video coming out soon and there was so much choice also on that. Maybe when we sail on princess again we would try one or if we did a 2 week one but we didn't see it necessary for us on the week we were on

@sherriedolder900 Жыл бұрын

@OneCouplesAdventure Thank you again for the answer to my question. Our travel agent told us that specialty restaurants were not necessary as there were enough choices in the included dining on the Princess. She said the buffet menu changes nightly as well.

Stacy - your hair is a fabulous colour. If you dye it would you mind telling me the colour and brand? Sorry had to ask 😂😂

@OneCouplesAdventure Жыл бұрын

Hi Claire and yes of course I don't mind saying 😁. I first went this colour at a hair salon as I'm naturally a light brown colour. Red fades quick though and it was very pricey to maintain so i now just use the live intense in colour mango twist. Gets me the exact same results and alot cheaper 😁 bonus lol. I've Been many colours over the years but have had this for a long time now. No other colour makes me feel like me if that makes sense lol 😁
