Need a jacket for semi-formal night?

Packing for our 7 night cruise this week and wondering if I need a jacket for semi-formal night? I was planning on dress pants, shirt and tie but song want to be too underdressed!

Thanks!

A tie for formal night? I don’t know if this is because I was on a Carnival cruise in August but I think you may already be a little overdressed. Honestly I don’t think a full suite is necessary. I would say what you have there is fine. On Carnival for formal night we didn’t even have ties.

For a semi-formal night I don't think you would need a jacket. Some people have jackets but some don't. It just depends on your preference. I'd recommend the jacket or a tux for the formal night though.

Thanks! I'm packing a nice black suit for formal night and will wear it again for Palo. Just wasn't sure about semi formal night!

Overdressing is always better than underdressing.

If you overdress people will wonder who you are, if you underdress they will think you are the overdressed manservant.

No tie for semi- formal night, but I do wear my suit pants, long sleeved shirt.

Formal Night for me:
