This comes from a CC article last August. Do not know which night though.:

Pride of America Dress Code

"Norwegian's "Freestyle Cruising" mantra lends itself to cruisers who wear what they want when they want. There is one "Norwegian's Night Out," where guests are welcome to dress up (most wear cocktail attire as opposed to black tie). Toward the middle of the week, the ship puts on its White Hot Party, a club-style event with a DJ and dancing (21+), and white attire is encouraged. "Smart casual" attire (nice slacks for men, dresses for women) is required at the fee-based restaurants. Flip-flops and T-shirts are perfectly acceptable at the buffets.

The ship has two main dining rooms: Skyline Restaurant on Deck 5 and Liberty Restaurant on Deck 6. Cruise casual attire (shorts, T-shirts) is acceptable at Skyline Restaurant while more formal attire (collared shirt for men, no shorts for ladies) is required at Liberty Restaurant.

Otherwise, stick to cruise casual dress in the main dining room and public spaces: summer dresses/skirts for women, khakis and casual shirts for men. It is advisable to bring layers because the air conditioning can get chilly, and closed-toe shoes for many of the shore excursions."

No NCL ship has a "formal night" on which formal dress is required in the MDR or specialty restaurant. You are free to dress up as much or as little as you like, on any night.

They will have a Captain's Night Out, sometimes called dress up or not night. I don't recall which night, but it will be mentioned in the Freestyle Daily the night before. Not mandatory, and you will see a mix of casual dress along with coctail attire that night, and any other night. The more formal MDR and one specialty have a minimum dress code of long pants, jeans or khakis ok, and collared shirt, but some ships have taken to allowing shorts even there.

You can find NCL's dress code on their website.

CC got it right except for the part about "Smart casual attire ( nice slacks for men, dresses for women) is required at the fee based restaurants." This is not correct. In the fee based specialty restaurants, shorts can be worn in all except for Le Bistro, where jeans or khakis along with a collared shirt, even a polo, is acceptable. And aren't we long past the days when anyone, anywhere, required a woman to wear a dress or skirt? Women can wear pants of any length to the Linerty MDR, and shorts to most specialties and Skyline MDR.

We saw all forms of dress each night while wandering around the public spaces. Many dressed up formally for the photos on the grand staircase or at the photo studio areas. I don't recall a specific designated formal night as we have had years ago on cruises.

Good to read this....we were hoping that my husband could just take nice jeans and not have to pack dress pants for this cruise since we had heard things are far more casual. We want to save room in our luggage for our snorkel gear and such, rather than having to pack dressy clothing. We will be eating in the restaurants (just occasionally in the MDR) and hoped jeans are okay.
