Alaska sailing-formal night-specialty dining

[cruisinlawn]

What is the recommended dress code for specialty dining on formal night? (specifically Crown Grill). I know on Celebrity business casual was the norm while main dining adhered to formal dress. TIA

We went to the steakhouse on the Coral on a formal night and wore what we normally wore in the dining room. Black pants and a nice top for me and my husband wore black jeans and a button up shirt. We saw a few people in formal clothes. You definitely don't need to dress formal.

Smart casual is what most people wear at specialty dining rooms on all nights including on formal nights.

I've found that on formal nights in particular, people dress up nicer for the Specialty restaurants than Smart Casual. Perhaps it's because many are celebrating a special occasion but I've felt underdressed several times with very nice Smart casual clothing.

I suppose most people do dress up a bit more but I was comfortable in my jeans & polo shirt. They don't enforce any dress code in the specialtyrestaurants so many people eat there in order to avoid carrying the extra formal clothing.

Thanks for the info all. I should also mention this is on an Alaska sailing. Our experience with Ak formal nights were they seemed to be slightly less formal then say while in Carib, TA, Europe, etc. Just wanted some insight. Thanks.
