Cruise lines, especially ones serving a family audience, must constantly evolve to serve new customers while also pleasing the old. That's a tough line that both Royal Caribbean (RCL) - Get Free Report and Carnival Cruise Line (CCL) - Get Free Report must straddle.
You have to continue to serve a loyal audience that expects things to be as they always have been while also adapting to changing standards. That's why both cruise lines loosened standards as to what "dressed for dinner" means.
It used to be that the main dining room (MDR) on either cruise lines ship required men to wear pants and a collared shirt with women being expected to don the female version of that attire. Now, pretty much anything short of a bathing suit is allowed ,and even on formal nights (which Royal Caribbean now calls "Dress Your Best" night, it's not uncommon to see shorts and t-shirts.
