Is formality soon to be a thing of the past ?

I would say that Cunard’s suggested dress code is perhaps the most formal at sea. Well that was until they have just announced that they are relaxing their dress codes could this be the start of more change ?
This change could be on the back of feedback from their customers maybe as for the moment they are just relaxing the dress code on the Queen Victoria on their fly cruise programme in the Med for the summer on embarkation night.Passengers will be flying in
from many different airports at various times and may not have much time to change for dinner.
formal dress code
There are a lot of cruise companies that are casual , Ncl have been casual for some time now which matches their strapline Freestyle cruising and no formal dining. Carnival are the same and operate a ‘cruise casual’ code.

Celebrity announced only last year that they are changing their formal evenings to ‘chic’ nights so gentleman are no longer required to wear a jacket and tie . I recently went on a Celebrity cruise and I for one really missed the formal night !!
Forma dress code
Why does it have to be so complicated ?we have country casual , elegant casual , resort casual and then just plain casual!! There is a cruise out there for everyone but I’m sure it would be so much easier if they all just had one formal night and give the customer the option to participate.

What are your thoughts with formal dress code for it or against ?

Will more companies go informal ?
Is this the start do you think ?
