Have sailed Celebrity many times but this was the first sailing since evening chic was introduced. We sailed on the July 1st Baltic cruise on the silhouette. I took my Tuxedo as usual and I must admit I always feel overdressed eating a meal in a tuxedo but I have always adhered to the rules.On the first evening chic night we went down to anytime dining and whilst walking and taking the lift to the restaurants alarm bells were beginning to ring. I did not see anybody else in a tuxedo. Whilst queuing for a table I was the only one . In front of me was a young American couple, he was wearing a teeshirt and jeans. His ladyfriend blouse, skirt and flipflops. There were not many people at all wearing tuxedos, I would guess less than 5%. About 15% were wearing jackets. The problem with evening chic is that everybody no matter how they are dressed think they are chic.On the final 2 chic nights I did not bother with the tuxedo.
