We've been to the steakhouse on several ships. The first time I was sent back to the cabin to put pants on the first night (I don't remember which ship it was). Other times I've been told no jeans or shorts. On the Panorama last November, I wore khaki shorts on elegant night no problem. I did have a screenshot of when I made the reservations that stated "Cruise Casual", so if they gave me a hard time I could whip that out. Recently on the Magic, again on a elegant night, I wore khaki shorts and was not turned away. In fact they were seating people who were wearing t-shirts and jean shorts. I am of the opinion that what other people wear has no bearing on my dining experience! I'm on vacation!
