40´s, no, but only if the cruiseline is willing to enforce it. While I would like to see a continued Dress code myself, I can live with a relaxed one. However there shouldn´t be any Dress code that the cruiseline is not willing to enforce.

 

If they have a formal night - enforce it!

If there´s a no Shorts rule - enforce it!

If you are not willing to enforce it - get rid of it!

Yeah, What he said!!!

YES!! 30s. I refuse to wear formal wear, and I still eat in the MDR on formal night. Yes, I'm *that* person (but I'm dressed smart casual). It's a silly old school tradition that should be eliminated. Clearly, no one should eat in their PJs or bathing suits, but there's no need to wear a ball gown either.

In being devil's advocate, why should/would Smart Casual hold place as new standard? Why not my terry cloth bathrobe in dining rooms?

Situation is moot anyhow. The lines (:pun intended) are being drawn. The demographic preferring casual is dominated by Carnival & NCL the traditionalists are Celebrity, Princess,HAL. Because class/money are commonly equated Seabourn, Cunard wait in victory while other lines decipher how to market.

Microcosm of life: the Wealthy vs. Working Classes and an ever shrinking Middle Class.

YES to a point. 60's

Smart Casual every day is enough. No tee shirts, dress shorts acceptable, no swim wear.

Perhaps a compromise, 1 free restaurant for casual, 1 for higher dress.

Also feel feel that extra pay restaurants could add a higher dress code to entice those who want to dress up to the max.

But why in an industry where more and more is available only with a surcharge should I need to pay a fee to be in what for more than 100 year's has been accepted attire? I like your separate restaurant idea, but isn't that in place now?

Sigh, I want to go so badly I think I'd wear a gunny sack and moon boots! .

I would prefer to see the opposite happen in fact. On many lines people dress for these beautiful venue's, exquisite service and tasty food, dressed as if they had just cleaned out their garage!

A cruise is supposed to help us journey away from routine, not affirm and remind us of our "reality". Perhaps, we can deglamourize further and drink beer out of cans or replace current entrées with a selection of Bratwursts and Nacho's.

Oops, that was quite a tirade. I personally don't get the opportunity often to really dress up and hate idea of taking cruising even further into the mundane and class separation than has already happened.
