Is it acceptable wearing dress shorts/collared shirts for men during disembarkation?

Weather permitting?

As far as I know yes.  Lots of that at the Caribbean cruise.  Dress codes don't kick in till 6pm.

You can wear whatever you want to wear.

Yes indeed!

Absolutely. If you find yourself embarking in the evening the world cafe doesn't have a dress code other than no sports wear, but even that is usually relaxed at breakfast as everyone is dressed for their various excursions. 

The restaurant tends to be a bit less casual

Judging by the Grand European river cruise we just completed, anything goes...

 

There was a guy who, in all sorts of weather--cold, rainy--wore wrinkled khaki shorts and flip flops every day of the cruise. I have no doubt it was the *same* pair of shorts, too. Yuck.

 

On the first night of our Caribbean cruise, our bags were late getting to the stateroom, and I was wearing jeans; the host at Chef's Table sat us without any trouble at all.

I was told on embarkation day and the evening before disembarking that they let the dress codes slide.  I know on the WC on embarkation day, a group of us were going into The Restaurant.  One in the party had one jeans and went to go change.  The receptionist told us they let it slide on these 2 days as they assumed people had not yet unpacked (or had packed for disembarking).
