Ahoy there, Jose, and welcome to planDisney! What an incredible adventure you have ahead of you on the
10-Night Disney Magic at Sea Cruise from Auckland to Sydney, so I'd be delighted to help you plan your theme nights accordingly.
In addition to spending Christmas at sea on the
Disney Wonder, this itinerary is brimming with Pixie Dust. For your sailing, it looks like
Pirate Night will take place on Night 9. And while this seems to be the only Deck Party scheduled for your voyage, it's the perfect opportunity to pull out your favorite pirate garb and party with your fellow swashbucklers at sea. Don't forget to turn your eyes to the skies after the show because, weather permitting, you can expect the most amazing fireworks display Jack Sparrow can conjure up.
Since you are pulling together your
packing list, I thought you might also like to know about the other dress-up evenings on your journey. Night 3 will be your Formal Night after a relaxing day at sea, giving you the perfect excuse to dress to the nines and take some memorable photos in the atrium. Then, on Night 6, after your day exploring Christchurch, you will enjoy a Semi-Formal Night.
To paint a clearer picture of the difference between the two dining dress codes, I often tell fellow sailors to think of Formal Night as your “pull out all the stops” evening. Gentlemen might choose a tux or their sharpest suit, while you'll see ladies wearing full-length gowns. Semi-Formal Night, on the other hand, feels a bit more relaxed while still elegant. Men can opt for a classic suit or sport coat, while women might choose a cocktail dress or even a chic jumpsuit. Make sure you also download the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app before embarkation day so you have all the latest schedules and theme nights available in the palm of your hand while onboard.
Jose, I couldn't think of a better way to spend my holiday than on a Disney Cruise. If you have any other questions as you prepare for your Christmas voyage, I hope you will sail back to us here at
planDisney.
Bon voyage,
Sami
