How many evening outfits do I need for a cruise?

I usually dress for dinner, but they don't have to be completely different outfits for each evening.

For your 4-nighter, 1 or 2 evening outfits will be fine.

But just like on land, if you're looking for love, a late-night bar is the right place to look.
