Hello fellow cruisers : )
This will be our first cruise on RCCL breaking a long Carnival tradition.
We're looking forward to it (although their wine guidelines have already ticked me off)

OK back to the question.
Dress code for Chops specialty restaurant on Freedom Of The Seas calls for "smart casual".
I am wondering if it would be appropriate to wear smart casual to Chops on formal night
to appropriately escape the formal wear. Has anyone experienced this scenario?

We want to go to chops one of the nights and I'm thinking I can "kill 2 birds with one stone"
by going on formal night.... (I can see the flames coming at me already....)

Thoughts anyone??

We went to chops on our second nt and dressed "smart casual" and we were definately not under dressed....there were even people there in jeans and polo shirts...

I dressed smart casual on a formal night and dined in Chops. On that occasion many using Chops had dressed Jacket and tie. I guess they were avoiding the dining room but still wished to acknowledge a formal night on the ship.

I felt under dressed but then thats just me.

Food was great though us Brits aren' t used to steakhouses, but are perhaps a bit more formal.
