the travel agent gave me a booklet and it just tells me what i need to know about the cruise before we sail, however they did not go into detail about formal wear. it says that formal attire is suggested at the captain's cocktail party and the captain's gala dinner. do you know if teenagers attend the cocktail party? and do you know if it is required to have a tie and dress pants, or can you just wear a a dress shirt and nice jeans. and what about shoes?

Carnival has never been real strict about their dress guidelines. You don't have to be completely formal for the captains cocktail party, but you would fit in a little better. If you don't want to wear a tux, a nice dress shirt (button-up, long sleeve is best) and nice pants. I don't really suggest jeans, but if you want, you would probably get in. As far as shoes, nice dress shoes, cleaned/polished is good. Just be sure to match, that is what is important.
Not too many teens will go to the cocktail party, but some do. Most teens tend to do things together on the ship, most make friends the first night and then spend the rest of the cruise with them.
As for the rest of the cruise, it is a little dressy. But, I have seen people come in with just shorts or jeans on. Even though carnival says not to, it isn't uncommon, I've never seen them turn anyone away. However, if there is a meal that requires a surcharge and is adult only, they are much more strict with this. Personally, I just feel more comfortable following the dress code, but each person is different.
You can also ask your travel agent. They can go into more detail for you, most of the brochures from the cruise lines provides limited information. But if you ask your agent they will be able to help you with everything.
Have a great time!

I went on this very cruise in January of this year. Formal night is just that formal. Dresses for ladies and at least slacks and a nice shirt for men. I'm not too sure about teens attendance at the cocktail party. The rest of the nights it's not as formal but the dining area is really something and most people do dress up. Save the casual wear for breakfast and lunch. I hope that you have an awesome time, I did. Best of luck.

In Cabo, there is a variety of of procuring and eating places. In Mazatlan, you may excursion a brewery.

And sturdy eating places. And at each port you may have the locals offering you excursions and snorkeling and all varieties of stuff. have relaxing! I had a blast!!!

yes, the same exact cruise. formal includes ties and sport coats, and tuxedoes. wear shoes, nice socks, and slacks...no jeans! when people wear jeans and just a dress shirt, they look like they don't beling...wear a suit! yes, some teen-agers attend the cocktail party.
