Actually, no, you weren't.  This is copied straight from HAL's  FAQ's - "Know Before You Go:  Clothing" and it does NOT specify long sleeves, just collared shirts.

 

Know Before You Go (hollandamerica.com)

 

Gala Nights evoke the grand traditions of cruising as guests dress to impress for special events on board, including a five-course gourmet dinner in the Dining Room. On Gala Nights in fine dining restaurants, collared shirts and slacks are required for gentlemen. For ladies, elegant dresses, skirts, or slacks are all acceptable.

 

I took the information from the Navigator app, so like I said wear what the hell you want.

I don't recall a requirement for long sleeve shirts on HAL - I had no issues in a short sleeve shirt (with a collar) on our last trip (2019), in any venue or night. In fact - I'm sure I could have easily worn a golf shirt.

 

I don't own any long sleeve shirts and definitely don't travel with them!

I was just copying the HAL description of GALA night attire, you can wear what you want.

Do they still enforce the jacket rule for men? On my last HAL cruise, they had a sign at the entrance to the dining room on formal night that a jacket was required for men.

No, long sleeved collard shirt and slacks for men

I had this before. Logging out, closing the app and then relaunching usually fixes it but I have had to delete and reinstall the whole app also. 

Also on a android phone you can go to settings>apps>navigator>storage>delete data

This will cure the crashing problem,  you will need to login again when you relaunch.

This is off the topic but we will be on the Feb. 2 sailing wondering when the Gala nights are ? We are trying to make specialty reservations.

 

Check your Navigator app the gala nights should now be listed for your cruise under plan / itinerary
