    Hi! My husband and I are sailing on the Dream for the September British Isles cruise. Can you let me know if there will be any theme nights and/or formal nights?

    Ahoy, Stacey, and welcome to planDisney! Sailing the British Isles aboard the Disney Dream sounds absolutely incredible. The sense of adventure and wonder that comes with exploring Northern Ireland, Scotland, and England is even better when paired with the distinctly Disney magic that you'll find aboard the ship. You must be getting so excited!

    At the time of writing this, the schedule for your 7-night British Isles cruise has not yet been released. However, I found details for a few other 7-night European cruises that are sailing just ahead of you. Looking at that can give us an idea of what you might expect in September. Just keep in mind that the entertainment schedules are subject to change.

    Here's what similar cruises have scheduled:

    • Pirate Night: While there won't be fireworks, you can expect themed activities, a special dinner menu, exciting entertainment, and more. Pirate attire is optional, though it’s a great way to fully embrace the swashbuckling fun. Yo ho, yo ho!
    • Formal Night: This is a perfect opportunity to dress up in something fancy! You'll see a range in what Guests choose to wear, especially since it's optional, but feel free to go all out! Guests especially like to use this night to take advantage of the onboard photography services.
    • Semi-Formal Night: This is another opportunity to dress up. Suits, pantsuits, cocktail dresses, and slacks with a nice jacket are all examples of what you might choose to pack.
    I recommend checking back as your cruise gets closer to see if additional information is available. Once you board the ship, connect to the Wi-Fi and open the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app to see the most up-to-date information for your sailing. You can confirm when the themed nights will take place and also view schedules for entertainment, onboard activities, and more.

    Stacey, the countdown to your adventure is on! I hope you have the most fantastic time aboard the Disney Dream. If you think of any other questions between now and embarkation day, please reach out. We're always happy to help here at planDisney.

    Your pal,
