We understand the necessity of limited packing, especially with airlines charging for checked bags. But I really like the energy of formal nights - seeing what everyone is wearing, feeling special being dressed up. On the non-formal nights, hubby and I always dress "smart casual" anyway - it makes eating in the dining room and sipping drinks at the bar feel that much more like a night out. On our Princess cruise, that's what most people did. We find that it's not that hard to pack a cocktail dress or two, or add heels and jewelry to a nice sundress, while hubby wears slacks, even with a sports jacket. I hope they keep something similar so it doesn't end up being casual every night.
