No . If there are formal nights then he might.

Believe or not he doesn't even need to bring pants. You can wear just a shirt, shorts, but not a bathing suit and shoes in any the main dining rooms even on a formal night and they will not turn you away. They do suggest more upscale attire like pants and a sports jacket or suit for formal nights, but they are not required. The only exceptions are Remy and Polo.

 

The dress code for dinner varies by the venue or theme night of your cruise. In general, most meals are "cruise casual"—no swimwear or tank tops. Most cruises also have special theme nights with optional opportunities to get dressed up for a special family photo. Here's a breakdown of events by cruise itinerary:

 

The following guidance is off of the Disney cruise site and these changes were updated in August of 2013.

 

On 3-night cruises:

 

One cruise casual night—No swimwear or tank tops

One pirate or tropical night (deck party)

One "optional dress-up night"—jacket for men, dress or pantsuit for women

 

On 4-night cruises:

 

First night is cruise casual—no swimwear or tank tops

One pirate or tropical night (deck party)

One optional dress-up night—jacket for men, and dress or pantsuit for women

Final night is cruise casual—no swimwear or tank tops

 

On 7-night cruises:

 

First night is cruise casual—no swimwear or tank tops

One themed night (pirate, tropical or other themed deck party)

3 additional cruise casual nights—no swimwear or tank tops

One formal and one semi-formal night—two great opportunities to dress-up and take advantage of the onboard photography services. Though optional, we recommend: Dress pants with a jacket or a suit for men, and dress or pantsuit for women

 

Dress code at Palo:

 

Men: Dress pants and dress shirt (a jacket is optional)

Women: Dress or pantsuit

No jeans, shorts, capri pants, flip-flops or tennis shoes

 

Dress code at Remy:

 

Men: Dress pants with jacket (sports or suit jacket) is required—ties are optional.

Women: A dress, cocktail dress, pantsuit or skirt/blouse is required

No jeans, shorts, capri pants, flip-flops or tennis shoes

 

The bottom line is wear what makes you comfortable.

Unless you are dining at Remy, no jacket or suit is needed.
