I am going on a 7 day cruise. There are going to be 2 formal dinners. How dressy are these occasions? would a black blazer , slacks , white shirt and tie be acceptable attire for man.

That is perfect attire for formal night on a ship.

The formal nights are suggested formal wear nights, in part so you can meet the ship's captain and have a photo with him, but also because they want you to dress up and have pictures taken in variuos very nice places on ship that they then sell to you for $20 to $25 each.
In fact most people do dress formal, but some wear a tux and other wear a suit and tie. You will not be out of place with a suit and tie, Some folks will not even dress up and many, like me, go change their clothes after dinner and get into something more comfortable.

On most cruise lines, Carnival, RCI, Norwegian, and maybe HAL, that would be fine. Some are more formal, and you would need at least a dark suit to feel appropriately dressed.
Each for his own, but I believe people who only wear jeans and eat at the buffet are missing out on part of the fun! The only time I ever get to have a formal dinner is on a cruise, and I thoroughly enjoy them, even though I am a jeans girl most of the time!
Enjoy your cruise!

If you chose to eat in the main dining room on the formal nights then you do have to dress up. But not in a full tux. You can just wear a dress shirt with a tie or jacket. If you don't wanna do that eat at the buffet. As simple as that.

On some cruises yes. If they have a buffet there is no need, Just jeans. If you do not have a brouchure then check with the cruise lines. A travel agent would have to call to to find out. Been on 19 cruises and only worn jeans every day,
Enjoy.

With some liners, it is very formal! The bow, a small item to pack, would be a thoughtful one to keep with you! Marcellas would go well with the bow! If you pack suit of a shade such that the jacket could also be a 'combination jacket' for any slacks, you would have some flexibility, and you would be ready for 'all seasons'!

What cruise line? If it's Carnival then yes, that would be fine, even if without a tie as they aren't that picky about "suit and tie", just nice "businessman attire."

When we went on Carnival, some people were in a simple dress/suit, and others were dressed like it was a wedding or senior prom. Just as long as it's nice clothes, something that you would wear maybe to church or a wedding, then you'll be okay.

You might want to check with your cruise line. I think that would probably be fine for most cruises, but if it is a Cunard cruise, it would need to be a dark suit or tux.

Yes!, they are very formal yet unformal.
As long as you have dress pants and a good dress shirt you will be fine.
(The food is amazing on formal nights!)
