Friends just off Allure a week ago. Sadly ( to me atleast) their were men in shorts and collar shirts in Chops, and at the main dining room and more for Formal nights.
There were also people dressed up, suits, sports coats , long dresses and lots of capris for women.
Disappointing to me , we ll still do what we like. I actually enjoy the entire formal night
Dress up and typically dress up during every dinner ( no gowns) regardless.
Perhaps it depends on ship? And time of year??
