Well not like they ever stopped anyone who wasn't wearing a tie with their suit anyway.

Well, it's nice to see that the cruise lines are being a little more progressive with their dress codes.

Jetblue is right. Carnival never really enforced their code anyway.
I have to say I'm conflicted about how I feel about this. On the one hand I really like having the written code match what they actually allow. I've always said, they should either enforce the code, or change it. Well now they've really changed it.
They are now specifically allowing shorts in the dinning room. They seem to be particular that they be "dress (long) shorts", and not basketball or gym shorts. And this is what distresses me about the rule change: I'm willing to bet that it won't be but two cruises before the people who think rules don't apply to them, will be wearing shorty shorts, and swimsuits to dinner. As the old saying says, give them an inch and they will surely take a mile.
On the positive side, this might make the packing a bit easier. I've always followed the dress rules, as they were written, (not what everyone did anyway), so I never wore even capis to dinner. But if shorts are specifically allowed, I will definitely start wearing my nicer capris and dressy short sets to dinner. It will mean a few less long pants in the suitcase.

I have to admit that on 2 nights during our last cruise I wore "dress" shorts into the dining room. They were longer and hit right at my knee so they could have been considered capris but I consider them shorts. I also wore a really nice dressy blouse and nice dressy sandals. I looked more dressed up than the people who were there wearing jeans and tennis shoes.
Now, I'm not sure if a guy could get away with that.

Bad idea. Carnival is catering to the lowest common denominator. We're going on our 4th Carnival cruise in a couple of weeks and it will probably be our last. It appears Carnival has fully completed the transition to the cruise line for the redneck.
