perfectible acceptable - now that's cute. :D

Obviously I don't always type what I'm thinking. :o "Perfectly". Note to self, "read post before hitting submit". ;)

Sometimes going with the flow has nice consequences. You may have started something perfectible acceptable. ;p

Even without luggage he should have left the cap in the cabin.

This is what the website says currently ( https://www.celebritycruises.com/ca/company/customer-support/help-and-faqs/during-your-cruise/onboard-dress-code ):

 

Onboard Dress Code

 

 

 

Q.What is the onboard dress code?

 

 

A.Formal Night gets a modern luxury reboot. Say goodbye to Formal Night, and hello to Evening Chic. It’s your time to shine—your way. Get glamorous. Get chic. Be sophisticated. Now, on up to two nights on every cruise, Evening Chic activities have been introduced, and Evening Chic attire has replaced Formal attire. While dressier than Smart Casual, Evening Chic is intended to be less dressy than Formal attire.

Women should feel comfortable wearing:

• A cocktail dress
  
• Skirt, pants or designer jeans with an elegant top
  

Men should feel comfortable wearing:

• Pants or designer jeans with a dress shirt, button-down shirt or sweater
  
• Optional sport coat or blazer
  

Evening Chic means that you can get glamorous and be sophisticated in your own way. If you would like to still wear a tuxedo or formal gown on Evening Chic nights, you absolutely should.

All cruises that are 7 nights or longer will feature two Evening Chic nights. Any cruise 6-nights or shorter will feature one Evening Chic night. All other nights of the cruise will feature Smart Casual attire. Celebrity Xpedition will continue to feature casual attire for the entire cruise.

Smart Casual attire can be enjoyed every other night of your cruise.

Women should feel comfortable wearing:

• Skirt, pants or jeans with a casual top
  

Men should feel comfortable wearing:

• Pants or jeans with a sport shirt that has sleeves
  

Note: T-shirts, swimsuits, robes, bare feet, tank tops, baseball caps and pool wear are not allowed in the main restaurant or specialty restaurant at any time. Shorts and flip-flops are not allowed in the evening hours. The dress code will be enforced at all restaurants. And guests are asked to follow the Smart Casual or Evening Chic dress code in the Celebrity Theater for all evening performances. The daily program, delivered to your stateroom and available at the Guest Relations Desk, will be your guide to the correct attire each evening.

OK, I guess somehow we mistakenly read long sleeves for regular (non-Chic) nights. Just to be clear, I was talking about my husband wearing collared button down (but short-sleeved) shirts on non-Chic nights. He does not wear t-shirts or polos, only button down shirts. We are certainly not trying to turn Blu into McDonalds. We actually enjoy dressing up a bit for dinner on the cruises, he just prefers to do so in short sleeves since he tends to feel warm even when I'm "freezing." :-)

She Who Must Be Obeyed and I often combine cruises with a land stay/tour on one or both ends of the cruise. By the time we pack appropriate clothing for land, we have little room for "cruise clothes" and do not wish to drag an extra bag around just for the cruise clothes. What I do is pack a lightweight black blazer and she packs several scarves/pashimas. On chic nights, I slip my blazer on over a black or dark blue T-shirt or polo shirt for the MDR and she dolls up with a scarf or pashima.

 

On a scale of dude in shorts and a T-shirt to the guy in a tux, I fly right under the radar.

 

Also works for evenings in a nice restaurant while on land.

He will be fine dressed as you suggest.
