Carnival Elegant Night is a formal evening event held on most Carnival cruises. Elegant Night Carnival takes place on one of the cruise nights where people wear fancy clothes like gowns or tuxedos. There is a special dinner and sometimes extra fun things to do. The second night of the 5-day Carnival Cruise is Elegant Night but the date can change, so it’s good to check the schedule or ask the staff on the ship.  

There is only one elegant night, also known as formal nights on a 5-day Carnival cruise. These are evenings when guests are encouraged to dress up in formal attire for dinner and evening activities.
