I'm so over dress code threads, however for some reason my iPad presented this one to me, it must be one I subscribed to in the past. May I just compliment you on the best response to this topic I have ever read. That's all. [emoji846]

Thank you! Always good to know there are at least a few others out there with more important things to engage their minds. My hope is that the vast majority of our fellow cruisers find this whole discussion so absurd that they don't even think it worth their time to comment.

BTW, Nautical is one of our favorite ships. We took it from Athens to Singapore in 2012 and Cape Town to Singapore the year before. Also took the Marina from Santiago to Tahiti. Love Oceania!

Just because many of the 'finest restaurants' do not enforce a no jeans policy, doesn't mean it's the best thing to do. Yes, I view it as slumming and perhaps thumbing one's nose at others. I admit it may also be an age-related thing, too. I usually question a person's estimation of a 'finest restaurant'. But that's just me.

Although we have been on at least 20+ cruises on other lines, this is our first cruise on Seabourn. If this thread is any indication of what's really important to the people who choose this line, I think it may be our last. Wearing jeans or not wearing them after the bewitching hour is not how people should be judged. We are talking about a pair of pants, not world poverty or being kind to others. I might add that we spend two months every year in the South of France, an area densely populated with Michelin starred restaurants which we frequent. While I personally would not wear jeans to them at dinner, I must say that over the 20 years that we have been doing this, the dress code has been relaxed to the point that a tie and jacket are no longer required at any, including the Louis XV in Monte Carlo. So, like it or not, things ARE changing. Perhaps in the name of change, we too, could turn our focus to things of greater significance than a dinner outfit.

I see at least one person has a tight grip here on reality. There MUST be more important things to worry about than what to wear on formal night!
