Hi there, we have been on 2 Celebrity Caribbean cruises, and must admit to love dressing up for the formal nights. However, for those which dont, there were about 4 other restaurants you could go to, and the dress code was either smart casual, or one wear you could wear shorts and tee shirts etc. We did see a few people who tried to go into the main dining room on a formal night in shorts etc, but were discreetly asked to leave...

Thats the thing with cruising you can do as you want.

Have a great time

On a Disney Cruise Susie, there are quite a few places to eat if you don't want to attend the formal night.

Disney don't enforce the formal attire, people can and do show up in jeans and t-shirt and still eat in the dining room. If you're happy to just dress up a little you won't be out of place at all.

Norwegian Cruise Lines have 3 A'La Carte restaurants which you pay a supplement and their formal attire is Men trousers and shirt tie is optional Ladies no shorts.

Most of the cruise lines are the same unless you get invited to the Captains Table where Black Tie is a must

Hi Susie,my family and I went on the Disney Magic in 2009 and on the formal night my husbands and sons wore black suit's and dickie bow ties,but felt a bit out of place as most of the men wore just suit and tie,and some even wore short sleeve shirt and trousers,you really don't have to worry and I just wore a black skirt and black top nothing special and some women even wore trousers.

Formal on Disney Cruise Line means neat and tidy. You don't have to wear a tuxedo or cocktail gown. You don't even need to wear a tie if you are as guy. Some choose to. I wore my Bonnie Prince Charlie Jacket, waistcoat and kilt on our anniversary but I did it more to impress our American friends who were travelling on the same cruise. They do ask that men may like to wear a jacket but a "dining sweater" is just as acceptable. What they don't want is folk turning up in beach gear, T shirts or tatty jeans. (Although you will see some).I don't think that is too much to ask.
