I agree with you mahasamatman and I still do occasionally depending on the cruise line, but there are increasingly more and more dropping the formal and adopting a more casual approach and that’s ok if that is what makes them feel more comfortable to enjoy their holidays, on the other hand I feel uncomfortable being in the minority in a long dress or even a cocktail dress , I just like to blend in ! , being of a certain age I do miss seeing the men in their tux and ladies in their finery but again I reiterate we feel lucky to be able to continue cruising.
Good health and happy cruising to all
