I have traveled on several Princess cruises and smaller informal but upperclass Windstar cruises. Passengers on Princess cruises tend to be more traditionalist in thinking they need to comply with dress codes on formal nights. However, since I am cranky when I'm hot, I usually take an older darker jacket on trips, often one that has reached the end of its lifetime, and will wear a button shirt underneath, blue or some darker color. Almost immediately after seating, I remove my jacket and put in on the back of my chair. Never had a probleme, in fact, I doubt anyone will be challenged on formal night for dress provided they are not in swim wear.The world has become much less formal. I respect those who enjoy dressing up - I did take a tuxedo and accoutrements to my first cruise, which was a Princess cruise. But I have come to learn one can be respectful of others preferences and still maintain one's own comfort level. the majority of people wont take notice, those who do are generally overreacting.
