A few years ago my husband decided he wasn't going to take a tux or jacket of any kind and on formal nights we wouldn't eat in the MDR. Fine with me even though I enjoy the dressing up part of cruising (and women can pull together a few accessories and dress up most anything).
Well, wouldn't you know, we were invited to the captain's table that cruise. I told the hostess he didn't bring a jacket but he did have a dark shirt and slacks and she said that would be okay. He was fine in the dark outfit but that taught us a lesson - always bring a jacket or a suit - at least until X dress codes relax further or captain's table events are eliminated.
I know we could have declined the invitation but we feel it is a privilege and that it would be rude to turn it down.
