Instead Of A Tux Or Suit

[leonrdofan]

Why not be courteous to your fellow passengers and be comfortable too? Dark blazer, matching slacks, white shirt and bowtie and nobody will notice you're not in a suit or tux. I do it all the time and nobody's ever called me on it.( On other nights you just wear the khaki slacks and the blazer looks like a blazer again )

I do not care what folks wear on formal night as long as they do not wear jeans or shorts...

If they look nice who cares

I myself love to dress up

Wow! I must be a real anachronism! I mix up my dinner jacket and tux jacket for the two formal nights, with a cummerbund on the former and a vest with the latter.
I'm sure they mean the "traditional definition," as that's formal; a blazer is actually informal attire, as opposed to a sports coat, which is casual (the difference being the cut and pattern of one versus the other--blazers never have a pattern, and have metal as opposed to bone, wood, leather or plastic buttons).
That said, a blazer would be a better fit in the dining room than a sports coat, but is still not formal--not that anyone will faint or cry "foul" no matter what you wear!

Then yes, you do care!

I feel like it is ultimately up to the individual if they want to go all out with a tux or not. The cruise itself should not pressure people one way or another. Unless you are the type of person who is super social conscientious, then you have a problem. Good luck!
