I am more of a traditionalist. I actually like having the formal dining nights.Unfortunately, this is the way the business is trending. They are trying to capture the younger market. When I took my first cruise in 1984, the average age for a 7 night cruise was mid 40's. I believe it is now in the low 30's.When I was on my honeymoon cruise, Feb, 1991, we were late for dinner one night and I just flat forgot to put my tie on. We got stopped at the dining room door and the Matre D' handed me a God Awful looking tie to wear if we wanted to enter. I ended up running back to my cabin to get a decent one. I don't know if any cruiselines would do that today.
