On the recent Ft. Lauderdale to Lisbon crossing I went to the Resturant on one of the "elegantly casual" nights wearing a shirt and tie but no jacket. On entering the Resturant I was informed that it was a jacket REQUIRED night, they did offer to loan me a jacket but I just went to my suite to get mine. It was not that I did not have a jacket I just do not like wearing them. Also on this crossing there were 3 formal nights which for me was a bit much. I like dressing up in my dinner jacket occasionally but 3 times in 12 days was too much for me.
In addition the poolside patio grill is closed on formal nights so that option is not available.
It also had to said that some of the jackets on display had seen better days and I felt that wearing a tie was better than an old shapeless jacket with elbow patches.
