AboutMichael Corbo Expertise I can answer questions in the category of Royal Caribbean regarding their ships, itineraries, cabin selection and categories, pricing, ports of call and anything related to booking or taking a cruise on Royal Caribbean. I can also help in directing people where or how to get the best price on a cruise.
Questions I can not answer would include anything regarding breaking Royal Caribbean's rules and terms of carriage, such as how do I sneak alcohol on board, or how do I get a free upgrade.
Experience I have sailed with Royal Caribbean several times over the last few years and am scheduled to cruise on their latest ship, Oasis of the Seas in 2010. I am a member of their Crown and Anchor Society for past cruisers. I have been a travel agent for the last 9 years and a member of allexperts in the category of Disney Travel since 2001.
Education/Credentials As a travel agent, I have graduated from the Royal Caribbean University of WOW as an Expert Plus. I am also currently enrolled in CLIA's (Cruise Line Industry Association) Accredited Cruise Counselor program. ACC certification is an intense year long process that gives you recognition in the travel industry a cruise expert.
Past/Present Clients If necessary, I can supply clients for reference, I would need to contact them for approval first.
Question Hi
I see from previous questions that for the Main Dining Room there are times when it is formal. I have 2 questions.
Firstly, what constitutes formal? Are we talking tuxedos etc?
Secondly, as our cruise is part of a wider venture around Europe, we are unlikely to carry suits, in which case on the nights that it is formal, can we still get some food?? FYI - 2 adults and one child.
Thanks
Answer According to the faq at Royal Caribbean's website
Suggested guidelines for these nights are:
Casual: Sport shirts and slacks for men, sundresses or pants for women
Smart Casual: Jackets and ties for men, dresses or pantsuits for women
Formal: Suits and ties or tuxedos for men, cocktail dresses for women
How many formal nights there are depsnds on the length of the cruise.
If you choose not to participate in the formal/Smart Casual nights, you can always dine at the Windjammer Cafe which is open for dinner every night.
